agrasyuk Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 was surfing the youtube and somehow it decided that i should see this sponsored vid. http://youtu.be/TbQZWf3lOXQ not a bad vid, but left me puzzled. thats it, FSX is freeware from now on? :huh: Anton. My pit build thread . Simple and cheap UFC project
Lange_666 Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) If you look at the download link, it takes you to the FSXDemo... which always has been freeware. PS: Can't get FSX to run smooth (FPS is more then high enough but lot's of stutter, tried everything i could find but no joy) on Win 7 64-bit so i dumped it. Ran fine under XP 32-bit though. Shame i can't continue my journey. Have been thinking about X-Plane but then the X_Plane demo doesn't impress me at all so i'm still holding off. Edited January 25, 2013 by Lange_666 Win11 Pro 64-bit, Ryzen 5800X3D, Corsair H115i, Gigabyte X570S UD, EVGA 3080Ti XC3 Ultra 12GB, 64 GB DDR4 G.Skill 3600.

Personal Wish List: A6 Intruder, Vietnam theater, decent ATC module, better VR performance!
towsim Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 With FSX it's all about graphics adapter performance. I had the same issues with an older ATI dual GPU adapter. As more complex the scenery, the more stutter. The problem disappeared completely when I changed to a GTX680. So I like to use FSX/ESP sometimes, because I can fly at my home base and I can modify my local scenery environment without any LUA crap. From the developers point of view there is a big advantage in FSX, because all tools and the simulation interface are well documented. To X-Plane I can say, it needs more performance than FSX in general. Whereby the functionality is almost the same. Compared to DCS, I have subjectively the better frame rate than in FSX. But this needs to have objective test with a comparable configuration. The main reason for using DCS is the system depth in the A10C. This is really amazing if you like serious flight operations.
