x-plane dude. costs a bit, but totally customizable. i'm into 3d modeling and such, and you can model your own evironments and planes and put them in the working dir for fun scalability
Oh yeah, right here. FS9 and FSX atm, got the CH yoke and rudders and tons of addons to go with 'em.

Anyone know if Flight Simulator X Deluxe (DVD) is any good lol?

I ordered that from club live for the hell of it.

Maybe just a piece of software to show off my computer to non gamers and what not.

Orly. Well that's not exactly a high end system, and this game was released like december of 06 right?

I would expect i could max it out.

I'll probably keep it if it looks fairly good.
Besides, my dad always thinks these flight sim games look cool...

I can run the demo on medium-high settings with my system, so your friends' computer is messed up. And I just got my copy of the game from club live yesterday but I don't have the space to install it yet.

Dezixn, you can't run it completely maxed out, and neither can 8800 Ultras in SLI (playing at the highest resolution though, and only getting 20fps) because it's poorly coded.

FSX is great. It can destroy all computers.
Lockon is still the best fighter sim imsmo. and I still cannot run it maxed on the 8800.

Edit.. I have a couple of pics on my fotki from lockon..

Trackir in video also here

cannot wait to run it on the 30" with the q66... drool

I looove FSX, I can run it on high settings with around 20-25 FPS. Which for a flight sim is totally playable.

I think it is an amazing game... I have the game and it runs on High graphics overall... I think it is Ultra on Aircraft, Ultra on Weather, Medium on everything else... but it only rins @ about on average 16fps. But it is still an amazing flight sim.

Too bad graphics aren't, lol. Back when I had my 7900gt's in SLI it still didn't look as good as other flight sims.

in FSX you gotta go to settings > then customize > then change the target frame rate to somewhere near your current FPS, then it will take less CPU resources to do, which in turn will give you more FPS.

I did this and i was getting 10-20 fps, I changed the target FPS to 40 and I'm getting 30's now.

just play with the settings, Like the aircraft settings....do you really need them that high when the majority of the time you're in the 3D ****pit and you don't even see the plane?

Just play with the settings.
check out Aces High2 @ hitechcreations.com. its a ww2 sim, small monthly fee, but is worth every penny.
