Blacknemisis Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Anyone tried out the New expansion pack for FSX it has the F-18 in it.
tflash Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 I will go to Brussels in the november weekend for the Simware launch of FSX Accellerator and ... DCS:Black Shark! http://www.simw.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=dsp_simware_show08 Chances are I will be coming home with both! Edit: Oops, no, of course not both, I'm overexcited, but there will be a DCS demo! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Mobius1 Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 I tried the F/A-18 at Oshkosh, and even then it was better than any other payware aircraft. The HUD really looks great. Acceleration doesn't come out until tomorrow though, unless someone knows where to get it today... Stupid thermals...
SuperKungFu Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 yea its suppose to come out thur? But I suppose there are parts of the world where is already out. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
badaboom Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 I've heard alot of complaints about FSX performance even on high end riggs,how does it run for you guy's?will the addon help performance? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
graywo1fg Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 FSX = Horrible for performance :( there is a new "Service Pack" that fixes alot of that but i havnt tried it yet.

SuperKungFu Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 yea i heard from a lot of people that the service pack helped a lot. And i think this expansion pack contains service pack 2? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Mobius1 Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 The service pack (SP1) helps A LOT. And Acceleration does include SP2. FSX runs really well for me on my four year old system. It just doesn't look like it does on the back of the box, but it is still better than FS9. Stupid thermals...
Blacknemisis Posted October 24, 2007 Author Posted October 24, 2007 IGN reviewed it and gave it a 8.5. They said that the F-18 was the best aircraft on FSX but it didnt have alot of missions for it.
Outlaw24 Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 I've been running FSX for quite some time on my machine with no problems. Looking forward to the new expansion.

VMFA-Blaze Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 FSX runs as smooth as silk on my system... I did install the service pack and Vista, which enabled me to push the sliders to maximum .. ... If someone is having issues running this on a high end system then I think that they're not doing something quite right... Don't forget to install Vista ... If you don't do this you wont get optimum results...

If so could you please explain as I am about to purchase FSX deluxe and Accelerator with the F18. Would appreciate any infor on problems I may run into. Thanks Blaze.:(

7rooper Posted November 26, 2007 Posted November 26, 2007 That's right. If FSX runs better on Vista than XP after installing the Service pack is due to manipulations and tricks MS pulls off to force us to use Vista.

SuperKungFu Posted November 26, 2007 Posted November 26, 2007 btw, what is the installtion order for FSX The original FSX 1.1 service pack and then the expansion pack, or is the first service pack no longer needed? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
The_GOZR Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 Acceleration do not requirer DX10.. What are you talking about PigPen ? SP? SP1 or the SP2 ? What ?
The_GOZR Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 FSX do not run better on Vista than XP Vista has the DX10 that about it . You guys have some wrong ideas..
The_GOZR Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 Man I run under DX9 with out a glich and High frames rate .. they got you like a newb! If you have only the latest DX9 and DX10 Acceleration will run,... So now for you guys that want Acceleration which imo is the best addon for FSX and the cheapest as well you have DX9 cards no probs.. And btw the answer from Leekhita is a pack of booboo
SuperKungFu Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 btw, have you updated your directx? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
The_GOZR Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 Ok PigPen lets stop the BooBoo word because you may not underdtand my poor english as well since i'm not a native speaker. So now when you did load Acceleration you did erase all your FSX folder in your \Application Data\Microsoft\FSX first right ? Accel will create a new one with new parameters.. did you do this ? if not do it again and see what that can give you start at the basic
The_GOZR Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 No do it again it's important it's also a base of the Sp2. Reload all FSX and Accel on top but after installing FSX erase the files as i said above. then install Accel, This will give you a better start.
VMFA117_Poko Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 Ok! Anyone fixed fa18 gear position finally? Ive got some here but front tire is sinking.

The_GOZR Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 Now if you desire to fly a F18 with a more realistic performance in power get this file The F18 original from FSX is way wrong in boost . ( probably what they want you to beleive or maybe they confused knots and kph ;) ) Anyway here the good height and more realistic power but didn't want to do to much . http://www.gozr.net/iocl/images/files/fsxbeta/aircraft.zip Back up your /F18/aircraft.cfg first and overwrite
The_GOZR Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 PigPen do it.. You must start with a good foundation.
