The plane is done by Tenkuu Developers Studio (TDS) and are a small group of people who was part of Project Opensky. The model is not that bad actually but if you want panel/sounds and so on then you will have to either add them yourself or not have any at all. I just went with the model for screenshot purposes.

Decided to use this thread to post any screenshots from Flight Simulator X.

VATSIM - Glasgow to Bristol

Haha, very nice. I just did a few circuits at Manchester...

http://i.imgur.com/GNYFelC.jpg

Just wondering, I dunno if this is a silly question haha but, can you play this like in real time? So if the real life flight from leeds - london took 1 hour would it also take 1hour on the simulator etc?

Would be pretty cool if it worked like that :P

Omf that is so cool. I may *attempt* to go on this then, I have a feeling I'll be pathetic at it though haha

The screenies all look really nice!!

o and also lmfao sorry for the questions, if you crash it does it actually crash and break into bits like kinda realisticly (how2spell) or does it kinda just sit there in 1 piece LMFAO im sane ok

You can turn crash detection off and it'll just bounce back into the sky. With it on, you will just sink into the ground and have to start again. :)

Just to add on what was said here. If a flight takes 1 hour in real life then it would also take 1 hour in Flight Sim. Obviously this depends on the aircraft you are in and weather etc. The simulator also has a built in acceleration so you can speed the whole sim up if you wanted the flight to go quicker.

Ooh okay, it sounds like something good to go on for when you want to have no life for a while *or forever like me :P *

Decided to try flying on my Macbook, Getting a very respectable 40FPS with everything on high!! (Doing a test "positioning" flight) Will get the 777 installed later on.

For those wondering, Thats a Saitek ST290 Pro stick also.

Not bad considering its running via Parallels too.

@Lee @xxMATTGxx

How ashamed of me are you? ;)

Haha can't say I have ever tried running FSX on a laptop before. Let me know what the performance is like when you have the 777 installed.

Nice Jack, I used to run FSX on my laptop before my desktop and the performance wasn't great. Be interesting to see with the 777, also Ill buy your yoke off you for a pick n mix?

We should arrange to do a group flight on VATSIM sometime soon.

Just got the 777 installed, sitting at the gate at the mo, getting a good steady 35fps with 60% traffic on, and I imagine that will improve once I get airborne and there is less traffic around, rather chuffed to be honest.

If you include coke bottles, deal :P, I must warn you though, its a crap yoke (Does the job though)

I think my PC is fine but the graphics are a bit poor, can someone tell me what to upgrade from for FSX. I currently have a Nvidia GE FORCE 545. Yeah, you're all gonna say that's rubbish so yeah, any recommendations? I have a HP Pavilion Desktop.
