Bought FSX!

[ShadowGT]

Bought Flight simulator X today (partly due to thereapers piccy's :D). I'm installing all 15 gigs of it now. who else here plays it?

 

BTW i got ripped off for it lol(it sucks being ripped off but it's even worse when your aware of it) $79 for the standard edition as everywhere was sold out of it :(

[iBilo]

I would but I don't think it would run on my laptop. :P

[CarMadMike]

Congrats, I envy you!, Id love to be able to play it on my laptop, But im going to get my dad to buy me a desktop so i should be playing this soon!

[T3hReaper91]

ouchie $79 for the normal version!!

 

OUCH...

 

Thats about £40 which is more than you can get the deluxe edition and the addon over here. damn that was some rip off there

[Mb]

I have it! :D

Never use it, it's my dads and i find it boring.

[iBilo]

The minimum requirements are really low! And its the same for LFS, I can play that in full.

 

Why? :S

[ShadowGT]

I manage to play it on all mediums with only the occasional stutters and i only have a mediocre PC now.

[iBilo]

Btw would I run it at the same settings as you if I did get it with these specs?

[ShadowGT]

Oh man i had a awesome flight over some Alaskan icefields with 2 guys in Cessna's last night. We were landing on the ice & sliding about. :D wish i had of got pics.

[ShadowGT]

Hehe i'm starting to really get into FSX now :) i went out and bought myself a Logitech extreme 3D pro.

[Guest RB26DETT]

man that's awesome! try BF2 with that! :D

[ExplosiveGoats]

I have FS2004, I tried the Demo of FSX is it any good. Worth buying?

[ShadowGT]

If you have a decent computer i'd say its good but i never played FS 2004.

[ExplosiveGoats]

I can run it, just want to make sure i don't get ripped off for it.

[HavockJoker]

I can run it, just want to make sure i don't get ripped off for it.

 

You won't get ripped off, my cousin who is a Continental Airlines Pilot says its the best simulator. Its really good. When I was younger he had all the Flight Sims. I got into them and I have all of them since '99 but just didn't get FSX.

[T3hReaper91]

Damn i want that joystick bad :( better than my little old saitek

[iBilo]

Bet that joystick costs a lot.

[ShadowGT]

nope it was a bargain. $50 (aus)

[ExplosiveGoats]

My Joystick: Well pic of it.

 

 

Might get FSX later this week or next week.

[ShadowGT]

Whoa.....Overkill much?

[Iced_Bullet]
