Flight Sim X

I purchased the deluxe version today. And I have already found myself spending more and more. Then to find out that my video card was not sufficient enough. So there goes $250.00, then at 5 frames per second I realized that I need more ram. Keep in mind my CPU is only 8 monthes old and I upgraded on all of these things when I purchased. Now that I'm finally there it is very very nice. Different features that were not on FS9 make the dent in my wallet a little easier to swallow. But I must also say I wasn't a happy camper about five hours ago.

Never the less it eats everything up in your system. I saw the same thing you did about min requirements and that's crap, crap, crap! It will not run like that unless you are not going to be busy for about a month!

I always hate when something i buy for my pc doesn't work when it should. I don't really mind going through the trouble of getting it to work- if it works. If i can't get it to work i get really mad. lol, i got a thing that says this: Hello RineEater it appears that you have not posted on our forums in several weeks, why not take a few moments to ask a question, help provide a solution or just engage in a conversation with another member in any one of our forums?


Isn't this funny?

Don't feel so bad as this game really needs a LOT of work to run semi-decently even on the most top-end rigs.

A kinda risque topic video, but HILARIOUS representation of how people found FS-X can be found at:
(WARNING- If you speak German, it wont have the same humor as the subtitles dont match the dialogue. It uses a movie with Hitler as the source of comedy with lots of adult/vulgar language in subtitles... so watch at your own risk of distaste or political correctness):

That movie is really freakin' funny man...

lol funny movie =D

Flight Simulator is not working with your video card

Microsoft is a joke... They never seem to have their ducks in a row when it comes to new software releases. No wonder Bill Gates is leaving (JK) .
I also am getting Flight Simulator is not working with your video card. It happened after I obtained newer drivers for my card. Oh and yes it is compatible: 8800 GTS 650MB DX10.
I am not going to roll back the driver, since I need the current for another game...

I think you will find that the 650 you refer to is the core clock speed in mHz, not MB. Anyhoo

Hi guys, couple of suggestions:

1. Uninstall the driver in Safe Mode (tap F8 on boot)s
   
2. Hard shut down (instead of restart).
   
3. Boot.
   
4. Install the latest driver in Safe Mode htt p://ww w.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
   
5. Restart
   
6. Update Direct X here:

Save this file as it will always find you the latest DX.

Update MS OS.
