Flight Simulator X
« on: April 03, 2007, 07:38:10 PM »
I went out and purchased Microsoft Flight Simulator X Deluxe edition last week, and found out two things that suck!  First, my computer is a CD rom, and isn't capable of reading the DVD rom needed with MSFS X Deluxe Edition....Okay fine, I thought.  So I go back to best buy to return it, and i'm told I can't because the game was opened and software laws........WTF!

Anyways, I bought the stupid thing for $69.99...All tags are still on the game...Game hasn't ever been played, and has all the original product crap it came with....

Instead of taking a total burn of $70 bucks, im trying to save some face here, and I'd be willing to sell it to anyone who wants it for $45, and I will include shipping.......

Please PM me if you want it.

Chances are that if you dont hve a CD rom, your system wont run it well anyways. The sim is utterly stunning though just the same. No MMP though.

Make that two...count 'em...two OEM's of FSX up for sale. OK so my laptop's 3 years old but it runs AH2 just fine and my usual frame rate hovers in the mid 70's.  Find me the fastest gaming rig/vid card on the planet and you'll find FSX to   still bring your system to a crawl. How slow you ask? Boot it up and then order a pizza. You'll be burning the roof of your mouth with Mozzarella before you're ready to fly.

FSX runs great on my system. The P51D and H created by Shockwave Productions are the most realistic flight models and work great (the D does anyway) in FSX. :aok Fully functional cockpit too.

I ditched it right after i booted it up. FS9 runs alot better on my system. If you are planning to buy FSX, make sure you have a high end system

I've got FSX delux, the reason I like it is sometimes I like to just shoot ILS's in an old 3 holer (727) or something else I'll never get to actually fly. Here's a challenge, get online with a buddy and try flying some formation stuff in 747's or tandem areobatics in 737's. Aces high racing league could add a whole new demention to their fun.

You know when this first came out I thought, you know I should really check this out. So being the nasty perverted pirate that I am I got a copy without paying the $$$ to Uncle Bill.

You know I've had it sitting on my hard drive for months now and never even installed it. After hearing all the horror story's, I just never did it.

Now, if you want to go spend money on something buy Stalker. If you like First Person Shooters at ALL, go buy it. Best looking best playing FPS ever IMO.

This game will literally haunt your dreams,scare the crap out of you, kick your butt, and leave you begging for more.

In short, if you enjoy something other than AH now & then, give stalker a try.
Its one of the few games I've tried in the last year thats worth every penny.

Yay for thread derailment!

Cav you might want to try to pawn it off on Ebay. That game can be a hard sell. I like FSX. I also have a high end computer. Most of the guys cryin about it being a frame killer are trying to play it on an old 1.2 celeron, 256megs of RAM and a ATI 9200SE video card with everything turned all the way up.. The game has a good deal of eye candy that is going to take up system resource. If you do not have the system..turn some of the settings down...way down.

He doesn't even have a disc drive to load it with. Way to imply everyone who doesn't like the game is an idiot, while not even reading the thread yourself. :aok

If you want to fly civil check out X-Plane.  There is a version of it certified by the FAA for flight simulation training.

Available in PC, Mac, and Linux versions.  I have the 8 DVD world scenery, and it's pretty awesome.
