I had heard that FSX came in Standard, Deluxe and Gold editions. Also that Microsoft had released FSX Service Packs 1 and 2, and another one years later called Acceleration. Then there's the Steam edition. Just curious which one would be best on my computer configuration mentioned above. Also if there were any issues running it on a Vista OS.

I'm a newbie to the list here. Been about 10 years since I flight simmed with the original FSX. I need a recommendation. I've got an old computer upstairs in my game room that I want to load with some type of Microsoft Flight Sim for occasional use. From what reading I have done, I see that flight sim has changed a great deal since I was active 10 years ago. So I need a recommendation for a program to take full advantage of this older computer's resources, without over taxing it. Here are the specs for the computer I have in mind: Type: Dell Optiplex 755 OS: Windows Vista Business 32-bit CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 @ 3.00GHz RAM: 4.00GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 399MHz Motherboard: Dell Inc. 0GM819 (CPU) Graphics: Dell 1704FPT (1280x1024@75Hz) 256MB NVIDIA Quadro NVS 290 (NVIDIA) Not much to work with, but like I said, it's in the game room for occasional use. What would be the best FS option to go with, using the older configuration above? I can't do much more to upgrade it. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
