ok so I've just tested with a clean install and the FPS on ultra high 1920 res was about 120+ so happy. I've installed my copy of VFR Gen X and at present it doesn't look good, but I need to test properly when I get my stick out and fly properly. This only covers the ground doesn't it and not the airfields and assume for that I would need something like VFR Airfields or the individual UK2000 ones. I do have them all for FS2004 but obviously useless. I was looking at the ORBX EU England and it looks like that will cover everything including airports? Not sure how that would work with Gen X

Hi Loyd, Thanks for that and sorry to hear it. I might be abut rusty for multiplayer at the moment. Any other add-ons I should be looking into, weather or anything or any utilities and decent GA aircraft?

Thank you Loyd, nice detailed answer. I know I did fire it up a while ago and it did run nicely compared to PC's I've had in the past. I've just dug out a copy of Horizon Gen X vol 1 which I'll use to start with. Would want some decent aircraft, I think my old download library is a bit dated and would need to start of small.

So, after several years out I'm looking at returning back to FSX. The laptop I'll be running it on is an older one but an i5-3230, 8Gb ram, 2Gb Radeon 7730M and I might put a 250Gb SSD in as the current 1Tb HDD is struggling. Not great spec CPU but considering the age of the game I hope it's sufficient. What's the latest 'must have' add-ons I need to get up and running. Would be looking at something good scenery wise for the UK mainly and anything else I should look at. Many thanks
