Currently running E6600, 2gig ddr2 ram and a 7900gt. Whats more impressive is that Hotdog is running a 3800 AMD with a x800xt. Look at the water texture in his shots. He has everything on max but autogen turned off.

Hehe...you know, with FSX playing the "get the settings juuuust right" game is almost as much of an art as actually flying a plane.

Looks great though...much more satisfying than FS9 out of the box. Can't wait to get a free night and come flying.

FS9 and X don't make use of multiple cores or sli. Ya can make it use both cores but it'll only use half of each one. :rolleyes:

Its kinda holding me back from getting it.

An interesting question Viking. We shall ponder it tonight as we investigate wind effects and if updraft along hillsides has been implemented. On this one I suspect I will be dissapointed as I imagine the code for something like that would be pretty complex! D:

Actually you may find this little article interesting.

If the weather effects are true to life then there should be a decent thermal under that big dark gray fluffy cloud in the top right of that pic....going to give it a blast in the next day or so as used to do alot of time in gliders and that was the thing we looked for to indicate spot thermals....ridge running much more fun though :p

I believe FSX does make 'some' use of multi core chips, but no where near what it could do. There was some posts from one of the dev's I was reading a while ago about it.

They are definitely working on at least one patch for the game, mainly for DX10 support, but they are also working on some more multi core optimisations.
