Re: Poll: Preferred Flight Sim for Your SAX Flights

I have been using P3D for the last few months. How many SAX pilots have either switched to P3D or use it along with FSX? I take all back from my previous post.. I decided to really invest into P3D, and that's it!...FSX uninstalled. There's a version of FS Recorder (1.331) that can be used for P3D, ...

Re: Poll: Preferred Flight Sim for Your SAX Flights

FSX is the best..

Beside, FS Recorder is not developed for P3D, for that reason I stay FSX for now.

Pilots not using FS recorder can have a good choice comparing the two :wink:

Re: FSX: DO NOT USE Nvidia Video Driver version 361.43

364.72 installed on my computer, and no problem at all, actually FSX looks even better with this one, don't know if coincidence, and using the latest version of NVidia inspector too.

Re: United B747s

Thanks Marty :)

Another deceiving article..sigh

747 has flown since 1969, why stop? Airlines managed to fly it for that many years, you fill one 747 with 555 passengers, one trip, instead of 2 with 777/787, now where's the loss? Airlines got it wrong or have they?

Re: Finding Density Altitude

Density altitude for FMS entries would false it as the computer is working to get actually this density altitude, with the ADCs.

FMS entries are Pressure altitudes.

No for me also, VFR on a simulation is useless, even though there is a lot of VFR scenery addons.

Just for scenic pleasure the VFR scenes I guess for better immersion on IFR flighs but for actually navigating hmm..

Thanks Marty! When in the air, without considering the RC747 scale and speed of clouds moving in the background, it looks like the real airplane.

Re: Is Flight Sim X and 9 Compatibility with Windows 10?

Dave,

I installed windows 10, then installed FS9 and FSX..

FS9: NO RUN
FSX: RUN

A new sim could come out on Windows 10, but maybe later..
