Title: I just installed FSX!
Post by: Seattle on November 28, 2008, 04:56:54 pm
I finally installed FSX in my labtop,(after a year of having it ^-^).

Firstly, my moms/my computer is to old and stupid

secondly, my dads labtop is a work computer so no their....

but.... my labtop which had 13/15 gigabites of space left did not have enough room for FSX! :'(

So I deleted aton of crap and games and.... voila! I have FSX. 8) :D



Any advice for me? I tried the A321 and managed to fly Algiers to some Spanish coastal city... and I actually got to touch down on the runway..... before vearing off and then on again..... Luckily since I was litterally stalling from such a low speed when I landed, I managed to exit the runway at the first taxiway! I think that is amazing for someone who hasnt played FS9 since Summer of 2007 and I have never learned how to properly land :P - Anyway, that was fun! :D

Any good sites to go to get whats it called? AI Traffic? aghhh.. I have forgoten much, so please help. 8)

Can you use a program like Wine and run it?

You can use a game called X-Plane, which some would say is better than FS, on Mac, Linux and PC. Go to www.x-plane.com (http://www.x-plane.com)

If anyone here has a computer worth less than $80,000 try FS9 (FS2004) instead. With addons etc it actually runs and looks better than FSX.

But it doesn't have mouse yoke  :'(
So I'm sticking with running FSX on low settings even though I still average about 1-5FPS in airports like LHR  :P

What?! So you're actually trying to play FS without a joystick? Forget it. :roll:

Some of us can't afford joysticks and yokes.

But I can't afford both. There's no point in having a joystick without a fligthsim to use it on!  :P

Try flightgear (flightgear.org).
Its the only reason I got into planes and sims! At first I thought it was boring, but with a realistic sim, its not.

That's like having a car but saying you can't afford petrol. Why bother having one then? You're better off to save up and buy some petrol to go into the car, it makes driving a lot more enjoyable ;)
