Seeing you guys running FSX on triple screen and being quite a old game now I just automatically thought it will run maxed out with my new 6950, but no, its gets chuggy when its about 80% maxed out in customise at 1920x1200. So Im guessing its quite a cpu demanding game?

Its a awsome game tho, as Im loving the missions:)
 
Make sure you have patched, the first one irc made a big difference and also no computer on the planet can run fsx maxed :P
 
My [email protected] struggles with it if I crank up the AI traffic. It's all about tuning it so you get clear textures and smooth flight. I suggest dropping your AI traffic, cars, boats etc right down to 10% or less first off, and drop your cloud draw distance right down too. Search for Bojote's tweak guide for some useful tweaks to get things going smoothly
 
I was just amazed as its like a 4-5 yr old game now.. also when I enable aa and put the filter to Anisotropic, I still have quite bad jaggy edges so is there any other way to smooth them out?

Your going to struggle with the E8400 to tell the truth, I only started to really enjoy FSX when got my i7 to 4.2Ghz, heres a little video i made -

Ah wel,, I will have to make do as im not upgrading cpu, mem and board for 1-2 yrs. but will get a quad cpu if I ever see 1 going cheap. But saying that, there's only a few games that are really cpu demanding atm.
 
My mate had the e8500 running fsx had the same problem as you he went and bought a quad problem gone , it is very CPU intensive game.
