MS Flight Sim X

[Cosmonaut]

Managed to squeeze in a few addons .. not bad even though some gauges aren’t working.

Do the military addon aircraft handle any differently?

helos definately seem to (for me anyway) - I can actually land em now :music_whistling:

 

The one or two fixed wing ones Ive tried so far seem to behave much the same as they did in fs9...

[Crusty]

Does it utilise dual cores?

Maybe the realism settings are still on n00b. Ok, how do we remove the damn time limit?

 

 

j/k :P

Yes, everything is set to 'easy' by default.

Maybe that explains the 'new' feel people have described. I set the realism to the max on the first try, and even then the FMs were a bit different from those in FS 9 regarding to the stall behavior, in FS 9 it's impossible to do some decent post stall manoeuvres, with fs 10 you have more control. Also, it seems like fuel pump performance under negative G is incorporated.

this is what I think:

 

- Nice water, really nice.

- Same old scenery with more objects but same old tecnology (with same old problems)

- New aircrafts...

- Medium low performance (we need DX10...)

- Ugly cockpits (same as fs2004)

- Nice view controls (smooth, mouse view..., smooth zoom in and out..)

- Nice sounds

- Nice flight model (better than fs2004)

 

In other words It looks like fs2004 with few good addons, I don't feel it as a new sim. Let's wait for final version and see...

 

edit:

- great light effects on surfaces..

 

 

 

You gotta read the readme. ;)

 

The scenery, aircraft textures, aircraft LODs, "Bloom", and a bunch of other stuff is still a WIP.

 

The VC Gauges seem a lot smoother now. There's a pretty good increase in that area, which is very nice. Being able to do IFR approaches in minimums will be good.

 

 

Guys, the Demo is a BETA. There is still quite a few things they are still working on per the readme and the Dev. guys. The Demo, while nice, is of course not "great", but it is an improvement over FS9. Once they get the stuff fixed that needs to be fixed I'm sure it will get better. With the addition of Vista and DirectX 10 later it will only get better. Give it time folks. It really isn't fair to judge a product based on a time limited, single area, beta version.

You're too optimistic.

You're to pessimistic.

Is the ground @ ground level supposed to look all pixelated like crap at "ultra high" settings?

 

god those are low-res textures.

Mine doesn't look like that. : /

I'll have to mess with it when I get home tonight (just installed and launched after selecting ultrahigh and 1920x1200 during my lunch)

 

thanks :)

Yes what I was commenting is the time limited, single area, beta version. I'm sure it'll be better...

[zaGURUinzaSKY]

ther is also a bug in the ULM, from outside the movement of the bar is correct, from inside the movement is opposite. If you pull the bar moves forward..

The readme also talks about the aircraft animations. ;)

 

The MS Dev. Blog link I posted above is nice to read up on what's going on in development.

I wonder what kind of freaking rig do i need to get inorder to run it smoothly with ultra candy eye visuals(just referring to pushing all visual sliders to max, un-customized) Apparantly my rig which is somewhat good enough for almost all current games cant even handle it.:noexpression:

 

System spec:

--------------

Nvidia geforce 7900gtx

2 gig rams

kn8 ultra nforce 4

amd dual-core 4400

I am little disappointed after all. I've got too many graphic bugs (I installed fresh system and newest drivers). Maybe DX10 will solve the problem or my graphics settings are wrong...

Fence around airports should be transparent but if behind the fence stands a building, hill, trees or other objects I see horizon.

Shadow of my airplane drops in the cockpit in some areas.

In night I see strange white auroras in the sky.

Still have the same bug from fs9 with replays. For example after take-off and retracting gear up I turn on instant replay back to the moment when I should have gear down FS X shows gear down animation. It's killin' me!

[deathcoffin]

How are your graphical settings like? Is it choppy gamplay with that detail on your screenie? Mind sharing it?

[VMFA117_Poko]

res: 1024x768x32

filtering: bilinear

anti-aliasing: on

global texture res: very high

lens flare: on

light bloom: on

advance animation: on

aircraft: ultra high

scenery: ultra high

weather: ultra high but clouds draw dist set to 70mi

traffic: ultra high

Lol check out this bug...

Take off, fly away from the airfield.. turn all your lights on, go to Tower View, and see it :D

Nav lights show behind you. Yeah I know.

Also when you look around in cockpit zoom will doesn't work. Have to change view and return to the pit. Same with ATC window. WTF!

[Shaman]

I can look around 3d cockpit and zoom, both work. Then look the other way and zoom still works. Maybe I don't understand you precisely.

Guys, don't worry about these bugs, its beta-demo. F.e. that graphical effects 'plane casts shadows on itself' doesn't work for me, if I turn this on, my plane is grey. It's pretty much beta, oh yeah. But a good beta anyway.

[volk-19]

hey guys where do u get the addons for FS 2004?

 

I sow many plains, wich were not in standard release
