I have just recently dusted off FSX again, and have really been enjoying it. Also a new member here (first post).
Here's my situation...The wife probably won't allow me to upgrade my computer right now, so i'm stuck with this setup:
HP DC7900 desktop
Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 3.16Ghz
6GB DDR2
500 GB HDD
NVidia GTX650
Windows 7 64-bit
I have downloaded some freeware for the time being, and performance has been decent. I'm wondering though about purchasing some more high quality scenery addons. Also interested in addons for ATC, airport traffic, and air traffic, but I don't want to spend money if my system isn't going to cut it, so I'm looking for some direction from people who are more experienced with all this than I am. Am I better off just getting by with what I've got until maybe at some point I can upgrade, or is my system decent enough to handle the addons?
I've already done the config file tweaks that seemed to help quite a bit, and I'm running SP2.
Thanks guys!
