FSX-SE Improvement

[PaulC]

Hello Chaps,

I've been away from the Sim for a while so thought I'd have a clear out.
I totally removed all my old FSX stuff and did some maintenance on my PC which is, in all fairness to it, past it's prime.

I installed FSX-Steam, my ORBX England, and Concorde-X. I run it with Rex textures and ASN. I've not got anything else installed yet - and the verdict?

It's like a new PC- Concorde was slow and gave poor frame rates on my old set up which made it tricky to hand fly, whilst not like a HD film, it flows lovely now.
Flying the default Cessna as a test is seamless.

I just have to resist the urge to fill my hangar back up with crap now- I'll re-install1 of each type I think- iFly 737NG, keep Concorde, Capt Sim 737-200 and the Aerosoft Lightning. I have the JF Canberra but that caused allsorts of woe when I first bought it so not sure I dare- which is a shame.

Paul

From what I heard all Dovetail has done with it is to recompile it with newer versions of visual studio so is a little more efficient and compatible with the latest versions of windows. I have it installed and on my win7/i7g3 system can't tell the difference between it and my old 'gold edition' that was fsx sp2 + acceleration, in fact it still has the same autopilot bug that acceleration introduced when you fly with time acceleration > 4x.
