Default OT New MS Flight Simulator

Is Meigs gone?

I've got FSX but I hate it so much I can't bring myself to load it up to
look for you..


FSX has some good points. Flying the new Maule out of some of the
back-country strips in Idaho is quite stunning, for example. (And the
new Maule itself is wonderfully done...)

Unfortunately, even with the fastest computer, the frame rates on FSX
are not acceptable. In certain, high-graphics-intense situations, the
simulation becomes more of a slide show unless you turn realism
settings to unacceptably low levels.

Supposedly Microsoft is going to be issuing a patch to make it run
better. FS2004 is just a better product, until they do.
