Well, it didn't seem to hurt the sales of the Captain Sim C-130!!

Im pleased as i seem to be able to run with decent-ish fps.
My pc is shafted tho cause I BSOD right after takeoff, I can slew it off the ground but if I do anything mad like change views quick, blammo. Strange because games like FEAR ect run fine... Maybe FS is more of a resource hog then I thought!
Tried different memory to no avail. PSU or CPU is dieing. Im thinking CPU as Ive been running a 500mhz overclock for near 2 years

Just played the demo. The stutter still exists and the frame rates weren't great.
The sky and water are shit and the game looks ever more dated. I'll keep FS9 thanks.

2) The FS guys have admitted that the demo is more-or-less a beta build. They do not have any of the performance tweaks in it that the final software will have. This is due to running out of time to do so before needing to get the demo out. So expect greatly improved performance in the final version.

Whereabouts did they admit this? It would explain a few things, I've noticed a lot of bugs with the stock aircraft and missions that come with it.

Good to see that the Dreemfleet Baron works and kicks the MS one in the backside

Oh and does anybody notice that AA doesnt seem to work? Ive got 8aa and 16af enabled in the driver control pannel and it looks like I havent got any on!

Well I'm going to wait for the proper thing to come out, I'm going to wait for some people to buy it, run it for a bit, see how they get on and see what addons emerge for it. Then and only then will I make a decision on it!

That's what I like to see Toby...........................a positive decision.
