Title: FSX or FS9 or FSwhat?
Post by: AirHanoverInternational on February 11, 2008, 08:55:39 pm

FSX is now available since many months. I am still at FS9. I started to play the MS flight sims since the early days when the graphics was really limited (cant remember if it was FS2 or FSIII). It was in the early 90's when my father purchased this civil flight simulator. Since then I have used almost every version. My first own one was FS95 and I bought almost every successor. I skipped FS2002 and I am not going to buy FSX. I still have FS2004 and I am satisfied with that one.

Which version of FS do you use?

I have FSPassengers for FS9, too. It is a nice addition to the sim.

It's absolutely great, IMO. It has its tiny little flaws, as do most FS-addons, but it really changed the way I played FS9. On the graphics side of things, FSX is better than FS9, but your computer really has to be up for it or you'll be much better off with FS9.

The FSX mess up my graphics card though.  I also have an X plane game, but never played it much.

Can't afford FSX, so I stick with FS9, all sliders near max and 20 fps inbound LAX with 100% MyTraffic.

Another Mac fan!  Yay! :D

all of our computers are crap so FSX doesnt work on any of them.  FS2002 barely works!

Thanks for your opinions. Seems that I made the right decision staying with FS9 - buying FSX would not be the only expenses. My laptop is not suitable for FSX and my PC has still an AMD 800MHz Athlon processor inside running WIN98.

Exactly what I wrote :)
A guy in another forum said I was an idiot when I told him FSX cost $2069.95 to buy :lol:

It really rocks, especially now where they've released version 1.0 and you can go multiplayer.

FSX is definatly the better option if you have a £1000+ Homemade PC (ie. no Labour costs) or Dell £1500+ (DESKTOP) also if you know where to get addons from cos the original planes on fsx are rubbish. but if u have a less than £1000 PC then there is no point with FSX and stick woth FS9 with many addons and high FPS
eg. my £1200 homemade pc gets 112 FPS of FSX on full graphics   :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  whereas a friends £900 PC can't handle it on low ish graphics abd unreliable FPS
