Flight Simulator X Dissapointing

<< < (2/2)

Mattace64:
well you just opened up a can of worms...

1. I disagree with your first statement...  I find FS2004 better, because I didn't have any of the 5 problems I initially listed (btw my FSX framerate seems okay).  However, I suppose you still may argue that I have computer issues, which brings me to my next point... 

2. From my understanding I have a Dual Core Pentium E2160, and under my sys info it says its 2GHz, although when I google it says 1.8 so who knows.  I'm not sure if it's a "Quad," I don't think so.

3. This his been the most frustrating thing...  SP1 & Acceleration, I tried that, and the problem I have is with my video card, Acceleration won't even try to run with what I have.  So right now I'm running FSX with SP1 only... now I do understand that they have SP2 for users who are not running acceleration, but the problem is that since I "activated" acceleration, my computer seems to be stuck in thinking that it is still installed even though it isnt.  Subsequently, when I try to install SP2 it says something like "can't install because acceleration is installed."

*I will add that I would upgrade my video card, but I'm not 90% or more confident that it will solve these problems (I even have issues with sound).  Also, I can try uninstalling and reinstalling again, however I don't think it will help because once the software is "activated" windows seems to be stuck in thinking its still there.

God forbid you try to run a microsoft program on a microsoft operating system.

hey man. i believe that ur havin some problems but some of those things sound normal. yeah the outside spot view is gunna be louder because well lets face it, it is louder outside and airplane than inside. and which planes have "bent wings" in the spot view. most wings aren't straight all the way out due to the weight and they're usually slightly flexible so they dont snap off when u hit turbulence. and the night flying "problem" well wat do u want a spotlight on ur plane or bright night skies. last time i checked u cant see planes at night. these are just realisms they put in the game. maybe they're to drastic for ur tastes but if that's the case then y play FSX anyway.

Yeah I can help with FSX no problem...
 This was a rushed out product from Microsoft that has only succeded in splitting the FS market in two, It has done no favours to the makers of flight sim add on's,  as they now have to make two very different coppies of the same product. Think how far advanced the FS9 products are compaired to 18 months ago,  when FSX hit the shelves,  Now think how much further ahead we would all be if all the work and progress and been kept in the one platform. Any way I,m getting away from your request for help with FSX, simple way to solve problems with FSX is press delete, stop buying extras for it and then all the work can be concentrated on a stable platform and Microsoft can go back and continue working on a worth while follow on to the much aclaimed FS9.
 I understand that we need to move on but what I can't see the scence in is bringing out a new platform that for the first time in the history of FS, you can't carry over the last generations aircraft and sceneries. Other than to make more money from the market. And if this radical shift needed to be done then they should have at least peoduced a platform that out performed its predecessor.
  The best thing that can be done  is not buy the product and force Microsoft into a rethink, Or will the next version be completly different each time a new game comes out forcing us to pay out all over again each time.
 Think about it and see if you can come up with a reason. ? other that making as much money as possible for Bill.

Sekhet:
Amen Geoff!
