Any good? It ships this week, anyone got it yet? Rumours are its a resource hog, and you need a really, really top end card to get anywhere near the medium/high sliders. Say like two x1950's.

I'm happy with my 7600gt on FS2004... Im not sure I want to downgrade my settings.
 
Are the missions good then? I guess sacrifices could be made. Judging by your specs, I guess your right if thats the sort of fps you get. Mind you, FS04 was like that when it came out. I remember buying a 9800pro to try and run FS04 better. Maybe when the DX10 cards come out, thats when FSX will fly. The missions might swing it. Have you tried the online play yet, is that any good?

I want to know what justifies such a high price tag on these games. 40-60 pounds is a rip-off in my opinion.

A DVD rented from blockbusters costs £3.75 for three nights. Films average out about 90 mins. 10 films cost £37.50. Thats 900 minutes, or just short of 15 hours.

When you put in about 100 hours in FS04, and end up learning a thing or two about flying a plane, £40-£60 is a bargain.

Also, its a lot cheaper than the real thing.
 
gamespot gave the it bad reviews, specifically because of the frame rates.

Trouble is, I sold my copy of FS2004. Now im stuck. Do these tweaks I hear about work? And where can I find them. I know the tweaks for Fifa07 worked fine.
