I'm also subscribing to GameSpot (free account), I can now download the videos... They look so sweet... They say that in Windows Vista it will look even better.

I wonder about the frame rate though? That is always why I bought X-Plane - the feeling of flight is more real.
ANyway, I'll have a friend stop by the Microsoft store and pick up a copy for me. For $5 for the full blown version, I can take a chance. -S |

With long anticipation have I waited for this title. First, I must aquire a new computer, and I plan to wait until Vista is released before acting.

I might just have to check the demo out. I have always wanted a civilian flight sim since Sierra's Pro Pilot. Just never got around to it. Anyway, I was checking out the requirements. They seem benign enough, except for how much HD space you need. I have never seen a game require so much space - 14GBs! I've got a 250GB HD with still about 80% left, but 14GB is still a very large chunk. Here are the entire requirements for those interested:

Why is it that I do not trust those specs, especially CPU and graphics board?

test it and delete it afterwards
- horrible performance on my system in medium settings . AMD 64 X2 4400 . 2GB Ram . GeForce 7800 GTX ( high/ultar high setting not playable ) - switching views in flight results sometimes in black rendered cockpits and pink oceans:rotfl: - some CTD's A demo should actually be an advertisement for a game, but however not in this case Microsoft! Thus you do not get my money for this game.

Here´s the framerate I get.
Global Settings: Medium-High Scenery: High Target Frame Rate: Unlimited Free flight: AirCreation Trike Ultralight, Princess Juliana Intl Clear Skies, Time set to 16:55. 38FPS while sitting on the runway, up to 50FPS in-flight. (1024x786. 4xAA/8xAF forced via driver). I´ve played it for about an hour today, no CTD´s, and I haven´t seen any graphical anomalies yet. Last edited by Gizzmoe; 08-10-06 at 10:29 AM. |
