Uh oh Prepare for Turbulence Ahead By Jim Bean When I received word that Flight Simulator X had finally arrived I was overjoyed. This long awaited update to the sim that has caused many late nights and outlays of cash for additional RAM, better video cards, add on packs, etc. I rushed home to install it on my PC. Before I go any further I want to spell out the specs for my PC Pentium 3. GHz processor, 2. A Test Questions'>A Test Questions. GB RAM, and an ATI Raedeon X8. MB RAM. Why you ask Youll understand as you read below however it does meet the recommended system specs spelled out in Microsofts reviewers guide. Flight Simulator X comes on 2 DVDs and is hugeIt took a solid 3. I waited and waited for the menu to come up. Apparently Microsoft has programmed code to optimize Flight Simulator Xs settings to your PC graphics, scenery, etc. When the main screen comes up youre greeted with a menu that will look very familiar to those who have Flight Simulator 9 A Century of Flight. As a bonus theres also a sweeping music score straight out of an Indiana Jones movie. I checked out the 2. Deluxe Edition and settled on the Beechcraft Baron 5. I wanted to take a simple flight around Los Angeles to examine Flight Simulator Xs graphics and dynamic scenery. After taking a much longer time to load than FS9, I finally saw the cockpit.

I started up my little plane and received clearance from ATC Air Traffic Control to taxi to the active runway. Oh, no The frame rate crapped out again I stopped the plane and changed to a lower graphics setting. The game reloaded and the frame rate was somewhat improved yet it was still dramatically lower than FS9. Please note FS9 runs on the highest settings on my PC with no frame rate issues. This includes several third party add on packs that are installed to enhance weather, add very realistic cockpits and real world AI planes. I examined the new graphics and I was very let down. They looked the same as FS9 nothing improved. Of course I am running the game at the lowest settings possible. Perhaps setting the graphics on high will improve things I cranked up the settings and waited for all the new graphics to load. I didnt see any improvement over FS9, so I reverted back to the lower setting. My plane heads west towards the Pacific Ocean and the Port of Long Beach. The new water effects in the game look good and more realistic as does the weather. The cloud features are more enhanced than those found in FS9.
