MSFS X impressions

Stan, or that was the minimum for the final installed product. That's it. 15 Gig. Unbelievable! It really is considering I just checked and MSFS 2004 takes up just 2.67GB. I don't have MSFS-X but I do have the demo and it takes 1.21GB. |

MSFS X impressions

(in article .com): I finally got around to installing the copy of MSFS X that's been sitting on my shelf for about 2 months. I must say I've very underwhelmed. Eh, I have a MacBook Pro, so no MSFS. Even if I install Windows I probably don't have the resources to run MSFS on a laptop. Now, if I had an eight core Mac Pro with NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 and about 16Gb memory and Vista, well, maybe I could run all the features on MSFS X. But so far my understanding is that there are no computers capable of taking advantage of all the features of this program, short of spending $10,000 on the above system. Or at least that was the rumor I heard from a guy in Sun City who calls himself "The Colonel." And if I had a system like that, you can bet it wouldn't be running MSFS. I would be too busy playing with Aperture, Photoshop, Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Studio and Shake. |

@i12g2000cwa.googlegroups.com: Snipola Then it tries to activate Snipola Oh well. Guess I won't be getting this program. I will not willingly submit to this nazi-like crap of getting permission from some corporation to wipe my ass.
