about to purchase REX for fsx

[keede]

Hi guys.I have FSX with all the ORBX north american add ons.( Dont have REX yet!) I easily get 30-45 fps.I only have a dual core AMD w geforce video card.nothing fancy.You do have to tone down the settings. The Orbx scenery is amazing, just adjust your settings so there is no flicker or pauses and enjoy -- you do not need 60 plus fps -- I have tons of flying time on FSX it is the best flight sim !!!

Sorry. An AMD 1100T CPU,with all them cores, will not eat FSX for breakfast. Maybe snack. Its a well known fact and the ATI cards are not the best performers in a heavy cloud situation either, another well documented fact.

Plus, you don't run FSX without specific cfg tweaks and graphics settings. No matter what computer your trying to use. Which textures did you install. The high resolution or 1024 etc? Makes a huge difference.

You've summed up my whole complaint here! It should be more than adequate.

I watched a youtube video which showed some interesting tweaks, and I applied them. I don't remember specifying the resolution of the textures I installed, but if given the choice, I would have installed the high-res textures. That was before I knew that the 1100T six core was a weak processor...

Thanks for the help and advice, though. I dropped some sliders and found a high FPS setting. Oh well, maybe the next computer I build will do better.
