how good a card does FSX need? is it card or cpu dependant. i run an OCd i5 760 @4k+ ( was before sandy bridge came out ) with 16 gig ram and SSD drives but my card is only mid range so i have no problems with cpu intencive tasks ( also have win 7 well tuned )since my main goal is to re aquaint with procedures and checklists , world map detail isnt really important to me so i dont even need anti alaising.oh yeah and the books you mention are on FSX as a training tool? not on learning to fly right? i kinda actually know that part sorta ;) though as donny dutton put it : i could always learn more ( usually when he was sipping some crown and coke behind the counter )

wow watching the video is exactly what i was needing. thanks again guys

wow thanks for the comments. Im guessing the download is pretty large.so from what i gather, i sorta have to play it for 2 missions before its unlocked for free flight to try out using instrumentation? does it have the 172sp by chance?if i somehow do get the money to get back into aviation i can do my commercial single add on in 172 because having the multi already qualifies me with the complex time so i just have to demonstraight manuevers.about the comment about partnering since fs9 has gte aircraft: i havent flown any turbines yet even though i have to study them and such. only 172 and senecas.but since fs9 was so limited i might just end up buying fsx and trying flight out also.thank you all again for such quick input

Hello all,My name is Dan and in 2007 I became a Multi Comm pilot. I ran out of money before getting my single add on and starting CFI/I.So im a little more than Rusty to say the least and not only will i have to study all the changes to FAR's for the past 5 years but bascally get re aquainted with all things aviation. I own FS2004 and i used it to great effect durring instrument training durring PPL but it was a little bit of a pain in the rear with the controls of the sim not really matching what i needed with the controls of the instruments .Why I am here, is to ask ; Is Flight a game or is it worth trying out . Should i just stick with FS2004 or not basically. I have the money for Flight if it requires Purchase and I have a computer that should handle it well enough ( I assume I can turn geography detail down some ).If this is not what im looking for, what do you think of upgrading to FSX? Remember instrumentation is what im after ? Oh I have yoke and peddals btw but doubt I will use the peddals as in FS2004 it was just way to dificult to calibrate them (yoke was alright).
