Poodling around in FS9.. [12shots]
Posted: 20 Nov 2007, 15:03
Hello Readers
This is not meant to be another FS9 v FSX opportunity.. simply to illustrate one reason why I've stayed put. The scenery is MegaScenery Frankfurt (payware) and AS6.whatever is active showing a much better day in Frankfurt to what we're seeing here in Blighty :roll: My PC is an old XP3200+ (non-64bit) running on an Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe, 3gb PC2700 Crucial ram (for the sake of stability), Nvidia 6800GT, SATA1 160gb WD HD. I remembered to make my FR's visible after shot 1!!
The helicopter in shot is Owen Hewitt's Bell206B3 with paintwork by our own Mr Piper ;-) I also have Scenery Germany3, GAP1, GAP3 and GAP4 so my rendition of Germany, though not yet complete, is getting there as is much of Europe. My sliders aren't hard over to the right as this pc can't really handle it.. a good enough reason not to try and flog it to death running FSX. I've successfully killed LHR (Aerosoft London Airport 2008) since adding BEA AI (6fps while trying to land!!) but enjoy seeing BEA aircraft over Europe so I avoid LHR rather than water the AI down I honestly believe there is much more mileage to be had from FS9 and ultimately aim to build a PC capable of running it to it's full potential.
These little shots don't do the scenery justice as you can't see the activity.. trucks, buses, cars, monorails all doing their own thing but they give you a flavour of what I like to see (what I DO see) at many of Europes airports. A world of default airports doesn't work for me.. even FSX default airports so I see more investment in FS9. Of course.. if I stopped buying this stuff, I'd probably save enough for a new pc but that's me all over
