Phantom88 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Hello Nate,When you do decide to install FSX try out this tweaking utility that will really help you optimize FSX http://www.venetubo.com/fsx.html Also for further tweaking/tips the Avsim forums are very helpful. http://forum.avsim.net/forum/121-ms-fsx-forum/ FSX can be a PITA to get tuned for a good balance of visual Eye Candy and Acceptable FPS but once you hit your sweet spot it can be a great simulation experience.:thumbup: Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron886 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Let me first say I think this is one of the finest add-on aircraft for FSX anywhere, and definitely the best in the military category. Honestly it's very high fidelity. Fairly. Pretty high. Closest thing to DCS I've ever seen. Not at all... Definately a study sim. Seeing as it's a single aircraft, not a sim, I wouldn't REALLY prepend "study." But it's a fine product and only getting better, and it's being put together by people with real talent and attention to detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andysim Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Do I need to buy FSX Acceleration pack in order to fly the Superbug? Thanks. No. I used to run it just fine in the original FSX. The only thing you will miss is carrier ops. I dont know if the Tac Pack will require Acceleration though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cichlidfan Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Do I need to buy FSX Acceleration pack in order to fly the Superbug? Thanks. From the Superbug manual. FSX with Service Pack 2, FSX Acceleration, or FSX Gold. Any of these flavors of FSX is acceptable, but FSX Acceleration or FSX Gold (which is just Acceleration and FSX bundled together) are highly suggested in order to utilize carrier operations. FSX SP1 or the original FSX are not supported. The FSX Service Pack 2 can be downloaded from Microsoft here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=204fee1e-f8de-4b21-9a32-5a41a3e27ff0 ASUS ROG Maximus VIII Hero, i7-6700K, Noctua NH-D14 Cooler, Crucial 32GB DDR4 2133, Samsung 950 Pro NVMe 256GB, Samsung EVO 250GB & 500GB SSD, 2TB Caviar Black, Zotac GTX 1080 AMP!

Kenan Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 ^^Thanks for the info..but by watching youtube videos I realized I need a fairly strong rig and even then, framerates are kinda on the low end..so I'm not too enthusiastic about the whole thing anymore. I'm gonna stick to DCS A10C and BMS for the time being.. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Commanding Officer of: 2nd Company 1st financial guard battalion "Mrcine" See our squads here and our .
