are they the same on this sim as they are on fs9? i kinda want to get my instrument rateing but can't in fs9 because of a bug in it. i know my pc will get medium. maybe high settings. but im wondering if fsx would be worth getting. and yes i know i have posted about this befor. but i might trade up to the new one.

I think FSX's (basic) price might be too cheap *not* to try.

No problem whatsoever running FSX on Windows 7. No reason not to check it out. i run every version of FS on my computer, and FSX is the most immersive and good looking of the bunch, even at medium settings. I've used it extensively since 2006 with a very low end computer most of the time.

The flying lessons are pretty much the same as in FS9, and some of them are buggy. I'm flying all the lessons and missions in FSX now. I'm just about to start flying the Cessna 172 missions, after which I'll do all the lessons using this aircraft. You can follow my progress here if interested: fsxplorer.wordpress.com

I'm running FSX fairly well on my ancient 8th Wonder of the World computer. I've been playing with the lessons on and off the past year or so. This was just enough to pass the solo pilot test and after a month and a half practicing the PPL test (flying nothing but that 3 times a day) I managed to pass and get the PPL. At least for me, FSX is the way to go.

ah ok thanks. what kind of bugs are we talking about in the lessons? the shut the game or the computer down? or they just don't pass you at all?

FSx not only has the Bravo, it also has a G1000 Bravo, just be sure to get either the Gold or Delux FSx version, not the basic.

according to that aircraft list the G1000 mooney is not in the deluxe edition. i see theres a few aircraft it says no on. and if it has the same bugs as fs9 i think i can stick with fs9 unless theres a patch that fixes the bugs in fsx?

The G1000 Mooney most certainly is included in FSX Deluxe! Don't rely too much on wikipedia for info. People in these forums have much better knowledge!

The bugs are that in some of the lessons you have to fly VERY exact or Rod dozes off and you can't finnish the mission. It's been 4-5 years since I did them last, so maybe I wasn't good enough then or did something wrong.
