Perhaps you should try it on XP instead of a Beta version of Vista. First you say it can't run FSX then you say it actually can better than most. So which is it? Craig

My trivial statement was not the least bit 'antagonistic'. Trivial simply referred to the fact that someone claimed they got FSX working well in 2 hours or so, which may well be true.If that is the case, trivial does indeed apply since the overall time & effort required in that case would indeed be trivial. It does not mean that the tweaks themselves were trivial. At any rate, even if my intent was to antagonize (which it truly wasn't), I think my overall tone was much more sudbued & cordial than some of the responses I got.

Fair enough.Bart BartholomayDeacontg272

I've tried it on XP and Vista and I never in my life said that either XP or Vista can't run it and then said it can better then most. If I said that then quote it.

Here is what you said. "And sorry my Vista RC1, AMD 64 X2 4200+ OC, 4 gigs of ram and X1900 GTX 512 card can't run FSX, It actually can better then most."So again, which is it. It can't run FSX or it runs it better than most?I didn't see any mention of XP.

Oh OK I see what your saying, Sorry you don't understand english I forgive you. Let me break it down for you. I meant that my platform can run FSX better then most computers out there. And if I can't run it then that means that A. Your standards are lower then mine. And B. If you say you get 30 frames in payware or run the sim with your sliders maxed even with cars off, you need to get your eyes checked.

Jason, how old are you? I've read better English from a 12 year-old than what I've seen in most of your posts. Your spelling is atrocious, which is why some of us have problems understanding what you mean. And your thoughts rarely follow a central theme.Isn't it possible that the rest of those who've commented on your posts are right, and you're wrong? In any case, it would be nice if you'd just leave this thread, start another one with those with whom you have something in common.Yes, I know this sounds like a personal flame. It was meant to be, and it's not something I'm proud to do, but someone ought to. This propensity you have for flame trolling certainly does nothing to endear you to those around you. Why not give it some thought and try and get along with others for a change. tg272

Poor boy got hurt so bad,,,, well I understand part of the frustration and I also believe, lots of negative comments maybe improve the situation by forcing ms to respond,,,, I just don;t like if people seem like to make a life and death issue out of it,.,, after all it's a 70 dollar software piece,,,my 3800+ runs between 15-20 fps but hey it just looks much better than fs9 with 30+ addons I bought ( and believe me I bought nearly everything...) in fact fs 9 is just plain and boring in Comparison ( fly it only to revive the PMDG pLanes)

I m just so deeply impressed by "it Professionals" A frind of mine is it head of Goodrich in San Diego and has no idea about tweaking fsx and other gamming issues,, just a server guy although microsoft certified, although you maybe right in part of your statement, your attitude just destroys everything... and leaves your whole piece of writing just "trivial nonsense"

You're saying if you can't run it that my standards are lower than yours. I'm not even going to try respond to such a blatantly idiotic statement. If you can't offer anything constructive I believe you should stick to Legos.

My like is now meaningless if I wasn't even able to impress you.
