If you are a serious flight simmer probably you could take off and land a B737. Once I landed a King Air B200 perfectly and took-off and land twice a Citation Mustang. These airplanes are not difficult to fly. Off course that a type rate pilot for these airplane requires much more than just fly them, they need to be trained and know the system and emergency procedure.

I've been flying with DX10 these days and it really runs smoother than DX9 but I got suck with the textures flickering and some of my add on aircraft are not compatible with DX9. Also the nav lights are not showed properly with DX10.Just switched back to DX9.The graphics looks the same. I'm personally happy with FSX because I could save some money and build a good machine. We have good add-on available for FSX to buy. Bruno F Guimar

Well,I just had 12GB on my system and no improvements regarding 6GB. I did several tests. Actually 6GB is better because you do not populate all the DIMMS reducing the workload on the MOBO and Processor.FSX is now an out of date software so it can not handle a lot of memory.Save your money to buy faster hardwares. It does makes difference on FSX.Anyway... I sold my extra 6 gig ram.Bruno F Guimar

I'm also having problems with my new GTX275 and DirectX10. No FPS improvements upgrading from a 9800GTX to GTX275. I tried the latest 190 drivers.Very dissappointed...BrunoMy system:Asus Rampage II, Intel I7 920 @3,61, 12GB Ram Patriot, BFG GTX275, WinVista 64,

Welcome to FSX...I upgraded from Radeon 1900XTX 512mb to HD2900XT 512mb and not much improvements, maybe 3-4 FPS moreThen I changed from Core2 Duo 6600 to QuadCore 6600 and from 2 to 4GB Corsair (800), so I got good improvements, 6-8 FPS more.I could see that FSX uses a lot of processor and memory.Flying with thirty party airplanes, add-on scenery and Active Sky and when there are some thunderstorm around, my FPS goes to 5 or 8 FPS... very slow...Try installing Need For Speed Carbon or Pro Street, so you'll be happy with your system.

Hello guys,Do you know what file contain all the joystick configuration?Every 3 or 4 FSX starup I must reconfigure again all my joystick buttons, throttle axis and rudder pedal.I'll save a copy of the file with all the controllers configured to back-up when this issue occurs.Maybe this is happening due to a not sucessfull FSX shut down.ThanksBruno

I'm looking for a new PSU, maybe I'll get a powerfull one for the next 2 years.The ATI Control Panel shows 507Mhz for GPU and 514Mhz for memory.Too slow. Let's gonna see after PSU replacement.ThanksBruno

Hello,I've upgraded my VGA from a Radeon X1900XTX to HD2900XT 512Mb, but the results were not satisfactory to me. Not much improves at all.Are there anybody else here running HD2900XT ??My power supply does not have the 2x4 PCI-E connector. Is this affect the default performance of the video card?BrunoMy system:Intel CORE 2 6600, 2Gb RAM (667), Sapphire HD2900XT 512DDR3, Asus P5LD2-SE, Vista (32)

Hi Dave,Are you running your processor Overclocked? If yes try to run it with default settings. I experienced similar flicker when I switching to full screen. But this was not related to O.C...I heard FSX has some memory leakage issue too...Regards

I am not expert on scenery development, but I've been trying to correct and improve my local airport (Jundiai - SDJD). The default airport altitude is almost 500ft above than it should be. I edited APX file and it corrected only runaway and a small area around it. The region around airport boundries is still high. I tried using flatten area with SceneGenX software, but it did not work. I realize that flatten areas generate and separeted .bgl files. Maybe FSX does not read this files.But when I use airport polygon (APRON) it works as a flatten area. Sure it's not pretty to use APRON to flat region around airport boundries because APRON is covered by a texture.Any suggest is appreciated.RegardsBruno

Hi Neil,I'm having problems when lowering flaps and with ATC communication.Using either onboard sound, SoundMax Integrated Digital HD Audio and latest driver.I'm thinking on buying a new sound card, this really bothers me and "hurt" my ears.Bruno

By the first time in my FS history, I could save money enough to build a good machine to run FS. Here in Brazil PC parts cost a lot, imagine the exchange and taxes...even buying at black market as I always do...Im running a AMD Athlon 64 3800 X2, 2 GB kingston memory, board asus A8SN SLI Premium and a powerfull ATI RADEON X1900XTX 512mb.I am at the same situation as our friend above is, with this powerfull machine I handle about 15-25 FPS... BUT Im running with full option on, AA6X Anisotropic 16X, everything full, high resolution clouds from Activie Sky 6, Trafego Brazil (Brazilian Airliners AI Traffic, this one sucks many FPS), high resolution Brazil ground mesh, realistic scenery and off course 3rd party aircraft. If I would run FS with no add-on...I would experience about 40 FPS at Los Angeles, with full display option on...as I
