For Operating System, CPU and RAM
Right click on 'My Computer' and left click on 'Properties'.

For Graphics card
Stay on the same screen as above then click on the 'Hardware' tab and then on the 'Device Manager' option. Click on the + next to 'Display Adapters'.

I could suggest a better GFX...I have not FSX but from what i have read, it needs something more powerful in order to get a performance close or like FS9.
1GB of more RAM would be helpful too. Wink

Here is a review on flight sim x, he also it gives some indication as to what sort of system you will need at the end, hope this is of some help

If you downloaded the Demo and were satisfied with the results, don't expect the same frame rate from the real thing. I was very disappointed. I use a Nvidie GE with 256 meg of ram, on a 2.66 pentiumD with 2gig. Ran the demo great and the program lousey on the same graphic settings

I agree with the last guest post that FSX is intollerable for frame rates with anything but the basic scenery. The game does not use the SLI facility on my PC so I asume Crossfire won`t be of any help either.

My oppinion is it is a very poor game, made for the PC`s of 5 years from now. Stick with 2004.

My system spec (good, but not good enough):

AMD 4600-64 dual core
2 x Geforce 7800GT`s running in SLI
2 gig DDR ram in dual channel
250 gig SATA 2 HD
2 x 300 gig IDE drives.

I agree with Kippler. 2004 has been around long enough that with add-ons and tweaks you can't top it. I would think with
Windows XP SP2
Intel T2600 @ 2.16GHz (2 CPUs)
2046MB RAM
GeForce Go 7900 GTX with 512.0 MB
that FSX would run excellent. Even with settings on low, it was a major disappointment. I'm sticking with FS 2004 for now. Maybe in a year there will be better tweaks for FSX.

What kind of an IDIOTIC game is FSX???? Here I am reading through this forum and see some guys with fantastic specs on their PCs and still no one can run it fully??? Thats completely insane! Do you really need to spend 2500 bucks on some kind of Supercomputer to run that stupid piece of crap that carries the name FSX????? Embarassed

And then when I think about the minimum system requirements on the box...... those are just big lies because NO ONE will be abel to even sit through the 2 hours it will take to launch FSX on a PC that has the 'crappy' mininum sysreqs......

i have:
core 2 duo e6600
1gb ddr2-533
radeon x1900xtx
sata150 hdd

i put all settings on max and of course it ran terribly. i havent had time to try it since. if i get 2gb of ddr2-800, will it perhaps run on some very nice settings? i was able to play the demo on full settings and it ran excellently. if kippler can't run it with double my ram and an sli setup (my processor is the only part of my system that outperforms his), i doubt this will work very well until a patch perhaps clears this mess up.

I mentioned this in a separate tab. I tried the demo last wk and tried to install a service pack 2 version which didn't come from microsoft. I rendered our mc useless untill we were able to run the reset disk and restore the machine back to day of purchase settings.

you mention NOTHING of service pack two here and it appears neither does your testing programme.

is it only the demo that requires SP2 or does the full version require it.

Has anybody got SP2 on thier machine? if so where did you get it from and how did you get your computer to run fine after installing it?

Am I correct that no one seems to be able to run FSX on the best settings?
By all the posts I'm scared to buy it.

I have
2DUO Processor E6300 1. 86GH
1GB DDR@ SDRAM at 533mH
NVIDIA GeForce 7300 LE

How will my system do?

I'm running an AMD X2 4400 OC-ed to 2650MHz, 2 gigs of Mushkin Redline running @ 530MHz, an Nvidia 7800 GT TOP PCie GPU w 256mb ram OC-ed to 480MHz and 1.3GHz and a Western Digital 250gb SATA 3.0 HDD with 220GB free and this thing still runs like crap. This is definitely going back to the store.

I want to try this on a new Apple MacPro and see if it runs any better.

Hi! I dunno if this is the right forum for this query but you see, I'm planning to replace my old Pentium III 500 Win98SE system with a new mid-range rig on a budget. Will be going the do-it-yourself route. Wanna build something that would run FSX decently (hopefully). Hope you could share your inputs. Here are the following specs I had in mind:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200
Asus A8N-SLI motherboard
Kingston 1GB DDR PC400 RAM (will gradually upgrade it to 2 or 4GB max)
Seagate 120GB HDD 7200rpm SATA
NVIDIA GeForce 7300GT graphics with 256MB/128-bit x2 (SLI Mode)
Creative Soundblaster X-Fi Platinum sound card
MAG 19-Inch LCD display
500Watts Power Supply
Thermaltake TR2-K6 CPU Cooler

Any suggestions?

Well that was a worthless exercise -- it can analyze my system. I think FS2004 is better than FSX Deluxe. I spent $300 to double my Dell memory to 2 gig, and upgrade to a Geoforce 6800 256 and FSX still runs like a dog. The only thing I like about FSX is the Garmin panel, but then you can't use 2D with the panel and set/see engine controls. FS2004 $27 good, FSX $69 bad.

What do you think, will it play with a decent frame rate?
