i was wondering, does anyone on this forum legally own FSX? i have really gotten into the game recently and i simply adore it. it is a masterpiece. i was hoping that maybe we could hold our own mini Red Bull Air Race or somethin'. post some pictures of you flying some planes if you can as well!

i wish i had the money for a nice joystick and a bigger desk lol

I believe some of the Fragmaster guys play FSX. Pop on their voice chat (I forget if it's TS or V) and ask.

I used to play FSX over at my cousin's house, and yeah its a masterpiece.
You should get the FSpassengers addon.

I have it installed, but haven't flown in a while. My 8 year old joystick doesn't work too well anymore, and I'm having trouble keeping my bills paid along with my virtual racing endeavors.

I tried RedBull Air Races once. I couldn't control it past the first gate. The canyon race was a different story though.

lol, this thread now inspired me to find my old joystick. cleared some desk space by moving the wheel somewhere else.


reinstalling now...

Default FSX is far from a masterpiece.

FSX with ORBX scenery, Real Environment Xtreme and Active Sky Extreme and some quality addon planes.... well that's a different story

You forgot to add, "and a hell of a computer...."

I can't even run FS9 anymore.

The Moose - I'd love to get all of those, but i can't afford those amazing payware planes, and i am not sure my bro will be okay with it. it's his PC, and his stuff. my laptop can barely run FS9, witch is why he lets me play it.

jrd.racer - i have thought about it. my bro says i should get it too.

vendetta - sweet. maybe we could fly sometime.

rsnake53 - same story with me. what i like doing though, is getting the in P-51D from the acceleration pack and flying down near highways and following them. it's really easy and very fun.

Not true.

I run it with good settings and a nice framerate on a E7400, 4gig ram, an old 8800 GTS and a £30 motherboard. It cost way less than £300 to assemble.

FSX is a beast with some of the more complex big passenger jets, but it runs just fine with most GA aircraft, and I find I get better FPS with ORBX scenery than default.

With a well tuned machine and the right config tweaks FSX isn't a problem on any Dual Core machine (@3+Ghz) or better, as long as your not flying complex jets into major airports with masses of AI.

For GA lovers flying out of/into smaller strips and regional airports you really can get away with a very average machine and have a very nice experience indeed.

Aye, It's not a cheap hobby if you want good stuff for FSX. Still, it makes me feel iRacing is cheap now

well, maybe i could afford two or three, but that's it. by then i would have spent about $100, or about 70 pounds

I play FSX,

Stu do you know where you can download good free addons that are worth for the game?

try simviation. they have some great free stuff

You don't really need to own it legally to play online.

I don't know how I get that info, but it just happened to popup

Just installed this again recently too. Me and a mate do the co-pilot thing to practice :P

Got it but havnt played for aaaaaages. was good back in the day tho
