There are some really good freeware planes out there too - this is in FS9 but you get the idea:

Flying out of Ontario:

Shadowing a 737 for the hell of it:

Landing at London City airport:

Compared to the stock planes the detail is really impressive..!

I just wish FSX ran better on my machine, but at least this proves FS9 isn't all that bad :)
 
tried a stealth fighter for fsx, was too quick!

computer couldnt keep up lol

got blurries everywhere

think i'll stick to slower planes til the next upggrade ;)
 
Sorry if this is covered earlier in the thread - search seems to have gone AWOL again...anyway.

The basic version seems to be available for about 18 quid, wheras the deluxe is more like 45. Is there really that much extra content to warrant that sort of price difference?

Was just about to post the same question.

6 more aircraft
5 more high detail aiports
10 more high detailed cities
20 more missions
Garmin Glass Cockpit
Tower Controller (Multiplayer)
Shared Aircraft (Multiplayer)

Also I'm not sure if you get the SDK in the Standard pack but it is included with the Deluxe.

The Deluxe version is avialable online for £30 if you look around, probably worth the extra if you can afford it.

I've just bought the basic version.

Whats the first thing I should download after the patch? Linkies please. :)

Once you've installed Service Pack 1 get started on the missions. You can expand your simulator with scenery or craft depending on your interests at a later date.

Visit www.avsim.com for more information and downloads.

Do downloads for FS2004 work on FSX?

Whats the difference between AI Aircract and Original Aircraft?

Some do but if you're a beginner stick with ones quoted to work with FSX. As the AI and original, AI are craft the computer controls such as the other planes you see at airports and when enroute somewhere, original aircraft are aircraft you can fly and control.

Most downloadable aircraft aren't that good, although some are fantastic, but if you want quality, you have to pay for it. Perhaps visit the JustFlight website for examples of payware aircraft.
 
From what I have heard FSX runs very well with the E6850, not sure about the quads though ? I am about to rebuild in order to play FSX and have set my sights on the E6850 too along with a 8800GTX. But with the new Q6600 GO version now out I am not sure the E6850 is the better option ? We all know more speed from the CPU the better with FSX, so maybe the E6850 overclocked to say 3.8 or higher may just be enough to run it on maximum ? :cool:

I would also like to hear from those with FSX and either E6850 and Q6600. What kind of results are being seen with these two cpu's ? :)
 
AAAAARRRRGGHHHH!!!!

My traffic x killed FSX :eek: .. halfed my fps.
Airports look ace now with all the airliners but its just unplayable at 10 fps , its also reset the key mappings on my x52.

Gonna have to uninstall it till i get a better system :(
