britfrog Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 my fsx does exactly what it says on the label, i can fly for 10 hours or more land at a foreign complex airport with no problems so it works! There is no doubt given time that x-plane and perhaps p3d will be better but for now the differences are minimal and although there are some huge differences in some areas the overall experience of fsx still takes a lot of beating Welcome to Simhaven steam driven P.C. with a gtx 1060 6gb, and 3 24" monitors running at 144hz but it still gives me good fps!

W2DR Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 FSX will die in 5244 days (January 1, 2032).

aputech Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I'll keep using FSX for as long as computers'll run it. I also have X-Plane 11, P3D v2.5, & FlightGear, and out of the three FSX gets the most use. I've logged close to 6,000 hours on FSX:SE since mid-January of 2015 and I actually go through withdrawal symptoms if I don't fly it for more than a few weeks (true!). I fly X-Plane 11 and FlightGear 2017 for serious IFR and VFR practice (though the ATC for both really blows) and every now and then I'll fly P3D 2.5 (I gave up on them after I paid $239 for the Professional version 2.5 and LM didn't even offer a discount on the then-newly released P3D v3.0. HMPH!). I spend the majority of my FSX time flying long and short hops to locations that UPS flies into (in my trusty UPS 747-400, 747 BCF & 4F). I don't get tired of flying freight hauls because I use SmartCARS to keep track of how I handle the airplane--I fly for a virtual airline; the better you fly and manage your fuel, the more you get "paid," and any landings that you make that are over -400 fpm at touchdown are thrown out, so I have a greedy incentive to keep working at perfecting my landings. I did a 10-hour hop last week, Kennedy to Rio de Janiero and the flight got kicked because my landing was a teeth cracking, neck shortening -451 fpm at touchdown. :mad: So as long as there's something interesting, exciting, and challenging for me to do in FSX, I'll keep on flying it...heck it's been over 11 years and I still ain't tired of it! :o Happy flying!

macklinbob Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 My problem is trying to move FSX to a different computer. I have two versions. Standard and Delux. But I've used all the allowed installations. I would like to install FSX on a better computer but the COPY PROTECTION won't let me. Is there a way around the copy protection?

Bob Macklin Seattle, Wa Not sure what you mean by "copy protected" because FSX is not. If you mean you are having trouble activating, then you call the AUTOMATED activation 1-800 number and a computer will ask you for your license key and will generate a new key. Do not call the MS help line. http://www.air-source.us/images/sigs/000219_195_jimskorna.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Macklin Seattle, Wa Call the Microsoft product activation number for your country. The automated system should be able to reset it for you.

rfresh737 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 FSX is a huge base...lots of software for it...lots of users with an investment in aircraft...I think it will be around for a long time. RalphF http://www.gmtpilots.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
