Best Flight simulator?

Don't get it until you've a decent rig to run it on. FSX is a notorious CPU hog and 2.2 GHz and crappy card (no offence) will make you wish you hadn't bothered.

All my posts replying to you recently all seem to add up to the same conclusion. Sell a kidney and spend the money wisely.

How was I able to run the FSX demo then?

You're a zombie, apparently, that's how.

Wow....I was not aware of that.

Thanks Skybird!

Was gifted B-17 Flying Fortress The Mighty Eighth on GoG today.

I love how in-depth and detailed this sim is. I can't wait to play it. It'll probably be around tomorrow... I played a trial of it at one point. This is going to suck up a lot of my time in the coming weeks. Nothing better than a complete simulation of my favorite bomber of all time.

Thanks Raptor1 and that generous 3$*

*Again...I cannot repay you by selling my soul.

@ Skybird, Even I have dl the FSX demo and it runs smoothly even though I just have a 64 Mb graphic card and about 2 Ghz cpu.

@ Red, how could I forget that game B-17 a great game I played it on my old
Win 98. It have been awhile since I dropped bombs on Berlin.

Looking for a demo or trail of Prepar3D

Was it TME or was it the original? I have the original one on DOSBox but it was always unplayable because of the difficulty, graphics, and no manual. I've been reading the manual for TME for a while now.

Sky - I didn't say that LM use it for advertising, X-plane highlight that their users include Nasa and LM amongst others.

If I'm not remembering it wrong, it came in a box-Like SHII. The disc was in a hard cd cover and there was a manual - How to install, missions campaign(s) and wich keys to steer the Mighty B-17( I had a little joystick with only one button)

When you wrote "The original one on DOSbox, I had to make a search, because I started to wonder if it was the original game I had(I bougth in one of our local computer store

Here are what I found

I bought my copy in 2004-5 for a very cheap dime.

Edit
Made a search for Prepar3D demo and found many pages the first page that had something that looked like a demo was a dead-end page Made more search and found a page that worked dl the demo tried to installed it, without success it seems that my registry haven't got any FSX. Made some search on this fsx. Haha the demo was not prepar3D it was Flight Sim X

Guess there ain't no demo or trial version of it.
