I just finished upgrading my computer to an Athlon64 and FINALLY have decent frame rates. If I have to go into hock just to get FSX to run
smoothly, I don't even want to look at it!
Agreed about the addons. If you can simply drag your aircraft, AI traffic, sounds, etc. from FS9, that would make a huge difference but if
they started from scratch and did a different format AGAIN, that would suck.
So far, the only real pluses (that doesn't look right), I've seen are the inclusion of airport vehicles, cars and animals, some scenery. If they
reworked ATC and include a realistic systems simulation (failures, etc.), that would be worth it but to be honest, I'm not going to get it for
the sake of a few catering trucks and some birds. And you know that those dynamic scenery areas will only be at selected airports, like
how only a few are high detail now, so that means a ton more downloading, buying addons, etc. Pretty good racket they have going on
though.
