its run smooth when you set up correct level of detials for your PC
You dont have to pust fps to 70 , 25 is enough

I'll try it - downloading now..lol

With this coming out and that il2/BOB thingy...flightsimmers are going to have to go out and buy a new top-of-the-line box in the next year or so...lol.

I'm starting to get worried my old amd 3200 / 1gm ram /.x800 is gonna have some trouble pushing the eyecandy.

Especially when you see a quote that basically says "pc's that run our game currently at it's highest setting with no problems will have no problems running our next release at the very lowest settings"

2 hours to download and winzip starts up, and I get bad CRC d345f795 (should be 3bbf262c.)

I had this happen with Half Life 2 a month ago when i installed it. Something wrong with my hard drive?

I flourbombed the bay so much that I think it's going to turn into dough.

LOL Golfer, that's awesome

Lepaul.

As playing it went...

That game with default settings was almost a slideshow. I don't know how to look up graphics performance but it wasn't good.

I don't have a slouch of a machine, either.

I didn't like the no "regular cockpit" view of the panel like in all other versions previous. I rarely used the virtual cockpit and it appeared to be the only option in the selection menu.

With time compression I landed the CRJ (whoop-de-dooo)

I ended up sticking with the trike flour bombing.

When the full version comes out I probably won't buy it. I'll eventually get it but won't pay a full price for it. I plan on flour bombing most of the time, too.

Here is a tip to have a 2d cockpit in the demo planes :
. hit 5 from the numeric keyboard when in the plane.

If you have graphics corruptions, just go to the external view then go back to the cockpit view.

Voila!

I usually bore quickly with the FS series. I mean, after learning I can take off in a few unusal plans...and sometime land them...that's the end of the challenge for me

I wonder how they'll handle multiple monitor support on this version

Its all wonderful eye candy. I can just count on both hands how many times Ive flown FS 2004 as it was.

(And a lot more after I added that killer F-104 addon)

But again, asides a few novel joy rides, thats it

Golfer · « **Reply #39 on:** August 10, 2006, 06:09:57 PM »

soooo...

mind emailing me that F-104?? The add-on airplanes I have all kinda suck. Eaglesoft makes some fair business jets. The F-14 I have looks great but the speedbrake is all out of whack. The F-18 won't land properly (sinks through the runway and crashes each time)

Need something worthwhile.

I use -
Improved terrains, mesh and scenery.
Ultimate Traffic - airline timetables.
All the AIAardvark aircraft.
EvolveAI - Airbus and DC10
Some ProjectAI stuff
Of course FSPainters stuff not covered by others.

There are even proper AI variants for a lot of fighter aircraft now -
Henry Tomkiewiczs - Tornado, F-16 etc
Daisuke - F-18E/F/G
Others - A10

Transport etc -
Henry Tomkiewicz - C135
ProjectAI - C17
Daisuke - Greyhound, Viking

You haven't played FS2004 unitl your stuck in a queue behind a crap load of other aircraft to take-off or land.

Unfortuneately AIArdvark stopped doing aircraft earlier this year, but they were the ULTIMATE in models.
Luckily EvolveAI have taken up the torch.

Hey kev is there any particular place you get your add ons? I only recently put FS on this machine and have added a few things but they arent all that great and takes a loooong time to download from certain sites
