FS X
Just played the demo a little and so far I'm not impressed. I've downloaded
quite a bit of things for FS9 so I guess I'm jaded. So far FS X doesn't do it for me. Maybe the real version will be better? |

Maybe the real version will be better? It's hard for me to judge from that demo. My PC is clearly not fully up to the task (time for that two-yearly upgrade) so it stuttered quite badly and pop-up was rife, but what I saw was promising. Brightly lit Caribbean scenarios aren't really my thing -- give me snowy mountains or a rain-soaked night-time cityscape any day -- but the water and reflection effects looked really good even on my archaic 9700Pro. I bet it looks gorgeous on the latest hardware. The problem with FS is that by the time each new version arrives, the hardcore simmers have upgraded and tweaked and personalised the previous version with so many third-party modifications that it many ways the new version can feel like a step backwards even with all the latest technical improvements. Once FSX has been out for a few months and the community has had a chance to adapt the best third-party programs to its strengths, I'm sure it'll seem much more impressive. -- Kev __________________________________________________ ________________________ "Escalators would help on steep uphill sections."
