The 'Official' Screenshot & Tips thread 4 FSX enthusiasts & flight simmers.

I finally got Vatsim all setup last night, FSinn and FScopilot all done without a hitch.

I didn't actually fly anywhere I just wanted to make sure it was working :)

Also got VATspy installed which was pretty cool to see who is online and what towers are active etc.

Next step it to file a flight plan and actually take off :)

I can be flexible this weekend. Let me know when you're available.

And we can cover the next few steps.

Friday or Sunday night is good for me this weekend :D I usually get the little one asleep by 20:00hrs. Dont worry if this is not possible though, I can try and work around what is good for you.

The general overview is that FSX runs best on the fasted single core CPU with an NVidia GPU. An SSD will be worthwhile as will Win 7 64 Bit and plenty of RAM.

FSX will then benefit from tweaks that are your personal preference. I.e you can't expect all sliders to the right to perform 100% of the time. Nor tweaks for another hardware build that improve their FPS. And if you're flying a Cessna around the default scenery, a lower-end PC will suffice. Likewise, flying the PMDG 777 in Heathrow with 60% AI traffic will be a strain.

However, a multi core CPU will help if you're running software outside FSX, e.g mapping software and weather engines.

Thanks for that.
 
I've just taken delivery of that very card coupled with an i7 4770K @ 4.4Ghz and FSX runs like a dream! Hopefully P3D can take advantage of the card features etc and multi-cpu support!
 
Agreed. Really hope P3D can start to take advantage of modern hardware better. I'm still amazed at how well FSX has served us over the many years. Was really ennjoying my fsx experience again after upgrading to an i7 4770K and it 4.8GHz it was butter smooth. Now lets see how P3D fares with an 780 thrown into the mix. Exciting times.
 
I see JustFlight have a holding page for Revolution-X :)

Do you have Just Flight VFR Real Scenery, Playsims (Horizon) VFR Photographic Scenery or use TileProxy equivalent (FS Earth Tiles / Map2bgl) but miss seeing 3D features like houses, buildings, churches, woods, hedgerows and custom night lighting? Revolution-X is the answer!

Revolution-X uses ground-breaking new technological processes to inject a comprehensive Autogen layer into FSX, placing millions of houses, buildings, churches, trees and hedgerows in their real-world locations across England, Scotland and Wales. So, for the first time in FSX, every village, town and city is fully formed with its real-life streets and estates, and woods and hedgerows tracing the edges of real-life fields and the contours of the land.

Revolution-X also includes its own 3D Night Lighting system, developed from scratch using a revolutionary new design technique for optimised performance which provides breathtaking illumination effects across the whole terrain.

For the first time, sequenced traffic lights change from red to amber to green at junctions and roundabouts, and millions of 3D light objects appear, not only along major roads but also mapped to individual houses and buildings, wherever they may be. On the horizon, cities, towns, and villages sparkle into view with hundreds of lamps and streetlights.

Along the coast, and deep in the countryside, the outdoor lamps of isolated farm houses and hilltop cottages twinkle through the trees as you pass overhead, all rendered in a variety of shades to reproduce the many different types of fluorescent and electric lights in the real world.

The result is a complete and realistic recreation of England, Scotland and Wales at any time of day or night, and at any altitude from ground level up.
