to purchase a ATI 2600HD 512 video card to get the frame rates into an acceptable level.

Now it looks okay, but still a little dark ... love flying around in a seaplane up near Seattle way,
landing whenever I want to. Great scenery, great graphics ...

My grandson wanted to become a fighter pilot last year so I bought the expansion pack with the Hornet F-18 option to land on a carrier deck.

He flew it a couple of times and went back to his FPG games.

I still try to fly once a week ... now I want to learn how to fly a bush plane in FSX as if it were the real thing,
knowing all of the instruments, buttons, bells and whistle's.

Something deep inside wants to fly ... FSX is the next best thing
Thank you I thought it looked great....I will buy the gold version too...one more thing do you use a joystick to fly it or keyboard...? any opinions on which would be best.
