Its good news to here that there will be another Flight Simulator released.

Would hate to think what you would need to run this new version of FS. :wall:

Considering I bought a very high spec PC just before last Christmas, with one of the first DX11 spec 1GB gfx cards and I can't run FSX on max makes me wonder......not in a good way either.

Weighing up this new sim and the costs of a fresh PC thats gonna run it.

I reckon its potentially cheaper to go for your PPL and part share a C172. :lol: :lol:

That really is as real as it gets...

I have a quad i7 920 that I've overclocked to 3.8 GHz, but can't even run the video smoothly :'(

Oh well, at least it's a move in the right direction.

Saying that my desktop i7 PC struggled to run that video.

Not sure why? :dunno:

Can't see me changing from FSX for a long time. Especially since my wife is carrying a mini Vegas. :rofl:

Lets just hope that it has a proper flight model.
