FSX/P3D - Flight Sim Shots

Ah is that a real airline..

Virtual airline. ICAO has changed since though.

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.

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 , 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.

Depends on budget and such, post your full specs if you can.
