Some FSX Screenshots, Now that I know how

Hey fellow aviators, I like many of you have been on a rollercoaster ride that is FSX. When I first ran it, I cried. I spent alot of money getting a system I thought would run it well and it ran like junk. However after a full day now of tweaks, ( big thanks to radarman...I am using one of the tweaks you mentioned.) and things are going much more smoothly.

Ill post 3 shots tonight, and please dont think im bragging, because im not. I just thought some people would like to see what FSX can do on a pretty good system. ( Core 2 Duo 6700, OC to 2.9 Ghz ~ 1 Geforce 7950 gx2 OC'ed ~ 2 gigs ram ~ 360 MB HD )

Hope You Enjoy...Please keep in mind, these are my first attempts at screenshots!

Funny, FSX seems to depict Milwaukee almost as run down as in real life...

nothing to exciting, I just enjoy Chicago (just not the bears...Go Packers!)

"Now lets go to our eye in the sky for this morning traffic report..."

Roughly what I was using most of the time...changed 1 setting here and there. In New York, I cut all traffic in half.

nice

You don't become a pilot for the money, you become a pilot for the sheer thrill of flying an aircraft

Well done.

By the way, you might be able to move your texture resolution slider to maximum. It doesn't impact performance much. Of course, if it doesn't work, you can move it back. Wink

Thanks for the comment guys,

Actually I live in Green Bay but I'm In Milwaukee quite a bit

I Used both of The Matt Fox Tweaks that I found from RadarMans post of the PDF File. Then I Used NTune to boost up my cpu and gpu past stock speeds. After that, playing with the sliders in FSX.

solotwo are you strictly sim, or do you fly in real life?

Solotwo · Posted: Tue Oct 31, 2006 7:58 pm

Strictly advanced flight simmer right now. Next summer I'm planning to work on getting a commercial liscense slowly just as a backup job.

	Yes, I really enjoy playing it!
	No, I haven't downloaded it yet...
	I'm going to stick with FSX
	I haven't even moved to FSX, I'm sticking with FS2004
	No, X-Plane all the way!
	...Microsoft what?
