What's the difference in packaging on the deluxe vs non?
The copies at Frys are $15.00 off retail presently, but only say "pc dvd" version.
I don't know how else to tell you this, but one says "Deluxe Edition." The other does not...
Bought it (the "Deluxe Edition") earlier this week and loaded it up. It reminds me of Vista. It has a little fancier looking GUI but little else except for updated graphics. Well, there is glass cockpit for a couple planes now, but I can't see any benefit since it looks like a DOS game at my settings.
I don't have a dual-core AMD or Conroe processor, so it looks worse than FS2004 because I can't run it higher than "very low" graphics settings without it being a slide show. Returning to virtual cockpit in view transitions can take up to 10 seconds to render at "medium-high" settings, and it looks pathetic at that graphic setting anyway.
Even at "very low" setting, bringing up the map can take over 10 seconds and the screen goes black, thinking you've crashed the game.
I don't want to talk about it anymore...
