| 557545 | 2007-06-10 08:02:00 | Suggest you forget about Vista and FSX. FS9 with XP is the way to go. Vista is a dog. FS X will be OK in a couple of years FSX Rules and so does Vista. You just need a machine that is good enough to handle it. I have FSX with everything at full sliders to the right except for Water 2.x which is low and ground/ship traffic which is around 7% and still get 40FPS out of it. Reduces to 18-20 around KLAX and the like but still perfectly flyable and graphics way better. BTW I have a C2D 6700 with 2GB and 8800GTX card and get these out of it. 64 bit is a waste at present as most programs are only done for 32 bit anyway and get run that way wasting the 64 bit advantage. |

| 557552 | 2007-06-12 20:20:00 | Read this before installing FSx vistaoz.org Can't read it because you need to be a member. Not trying to Spam are you? Anyway don't need to read it as I have it installed already and would never go back to FS2004 just by sheer graphics alone. FSX looks so much better. |

| 557554 | 2007-06-12 21:51:00 | The default scenery in FSX is far superior to the default scenery in FS9. In FSX I can pick out all the local hills where I live with the default scenery, but with the default scenery in FS9 you can't. For that to happen in FS9 I had to buy some addon scenery. Trevor :) |
