Rupert Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 OH THE IRONY!! This FS2004 forum has people, apparently still using FS2004, calling others out for not being among the first to try Windows 10! :confused: Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow.

shafat10 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 No offence but it's the age of P3D, can someone tell me why would you still use FS2004? :|. I mean, something that's over 10 years old... That's too old right? Considering the fact, FSX and P3D are way better in graphics, specially P3D and you don't need a NASA computer to run them, a medium to decent computer can run FSX and P3D, so why still FS9? :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copperpen Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 No offence but it's the age of P3D, can someone tell me why would you still use FS2004? :|. Because I happen to like it. There are lots of addons that fit my preferred era for flying and I just cant be bothered to try and convert them to FSX or P3D. Default external camera views in FSX are junk as well.

Considering the fact, FSX and P3D are way better in graphics, specially P3D and you don't need a NASA computer to run them, a medium to decent computer can run FSX and P3D, so why still FS9? :/ Oh, please give it up on Trashing FS2004. I have FSX on this brand new PC and it totally sucks compared to FS9. Frame rate bouncing between 18 and 29, stuttering .. no thanks. I have my PC locked at 42 frames and it holds it right there over all terrain and in a MASSIVE airport with 100 percent AI traffic (mytraffic 2004 which is free). Active sky 6.5 and full cloud cover MAXED out. Something called ORBX for FS9 (4.5 gig) for the ground textures, lakes and oceans and along with Zinertek airport upgrade. At 2500 feet and above looks and runs better than FSX and P3D. You want better Airports for FS2004 then you have to come here at get them and install them yourself but they are here free. FSX as a lot more default but YOU don't have Yellow Stone and old faithful, you don't have Yosemite National Park with waterfalls, you don't have MILLAU VIADUCT the highest and longest bridge in the world. Just some example of what you have to give up if you want FSX or P3D, I know because I fly with guys using P3D and I have FSX. I'm done braggin' now. BTW why are you putting up with TRYING to running FSX or even worse P3D? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomTweak Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I did a major update to FSX-SE for a wopping $5.00 back in January. Why? It was $5.00, and I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. That's about the extent of my budget for flightsimming. $5.00 in 10 years. Older model Dell Inspiron 1750 laptop, the Vista it came with, upgraded (is that the right word?) from a Dell P2-400, which I won't worry about updating to Win10, OH! I did get a new joystick a few years ago. Not all of us can keep up, money wise, with all the latest tech, and software. Some are on a very fixed budget, no more overtime on disability! What I get and what I have to spend to live decently (not in a box down by the river!), and to buy my meds, are just about equal. I'm not seeing a lot of wiggle room for new PC's, P3D, massive home cockpits or anything else. So I use what I have, and enjoy it a great deal. Sure beats Doom, and Castle Wolf on a 286-12 with a numeric co-processer, and a 10 meg Hard Drive, I'll tell ya that! Pat☺ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Had a thought...then there was the smell of something burning, and sparks, and then a big fire, and then the lights went out! I guess I better not do that again!

Wildthing Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Thinking of upgrading to window's 10 from window's 8. Any idea how FS2004 will run in window's 10? Any know trouble? I did some testing with a preview copy of Windows 10. From what I could tell, Windows 10 feels like an updated version of 8.1. While I didn't test every piece of my software, from what titles I installed into Windows 10, I was able to conclude that pretty much any software compatible with Windows 8.1 will work in Windows 10. A strange exception seems to be P3DV1.4. My friend's version would not install into Windows 10 even with a compatibility mode. That being said, his main system runs Windows 7 X64, so I am not sure if P3DV1.4 has compatibility issues with 8.1. When the release version of 10 comes out, I will upgrade my backup system from 8.1 to the free version of 10 professional and report compatibility with FS9.1 along with a full folder of addon scenery and aircraft.

napamule2 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Well you don't get it do you? You don't have a 'grasp' of correct English, or the accepted meaning of words as written down. A lot of your posts are vague, nebulous, and rampant with more pun than substance. It's like the forums is your 'space' to write gibberish. No one can understand what the heck you are saying. And no one will point that out because they just feel sorry for you. You don't even know how to compliment (yeah right-cover the insult and lack of respect up with words (ie: with your mouth)). This used to be a 'business like' forum. Not anymore. Too bad-so sad.

Nikolai47 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Windows 10 user here. So far it seems to work perfectly fine. The UI windows are slightly offset to the top of my screen for some reason, but functionality remains fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
