liet Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 FS2004 as there is no need for me to buy a new state of the art computer that when I have it, I still might be not able to run FSX full max. Also the addons, UTT creating new models like the B787-900 only for FS2004, the sceneries, etc. I think I will run FS2004 in 10 years or more when a computer would be powerful enough.

EngEd Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Catching up with this forum. FS9 exclusively. My fltsim time-gobbling is split 90/10 on GMax and FS9. Honestly I forget what turned me off to FSX, its "game" aspects, GMax incompatibility? These days I'm rebuilding my system after an inadvertant memory wipe.

il88pp Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Just type: Black prop disc in the search box. (at the top of every page.) There are quite a few threads on that with fixes. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSMR Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I decided to go back to FSX after years in fs9. Lasted all of 2 mins when I saw how terible it looked even with Orbx textures. Made the move forward to fs9 and have never been happier. https://fshub.io/airline/RUA/overview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jive1 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I'm on FS9 since it came out, because it is the best with all the addons. FS9 is technically superb when the computer is a high performance. FSX may look nicer in various respects but not so stable as F9. I've started FSX a few times, but came back to fs9 every time after a couple of flights.I'm afraid that many newcomers are convinced that FSX must be better, and start hence fsx, but only because it is newer and it "must" be better... As long as new addons come out, I will stay with FS9. Jive1 - Belgium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qratrev Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Still love FS9, with all its lovely add-ons (thanks to all those great people, who spend time and trouble, enriching my flight sim experience). Just about sorted out how to add aircraft, scenery, and A.I so still very happy with FS9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peugeot309style Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Hello everyone. I know this has been done many times before, but I was wondering how many of us simmers still use the old but trusted FS2004/FS9, V.S. FSX/P3D/XPlane? Please participate, as it is important that software designers know what we simmers need. Thank you. P.S. No comments are necessary, just name the sim you are using. Thank you kindly. Still enjoy FS9 - Invested too much time and money into the sim to have to do-it-all-again in the newer versions. I know the newer versions have better graphics, but you dont see much terrain flying FL400 in an A380-800 ;) Newer machines are also speeding up the frame rates on the old FS9; I havent had any stutters coming into highly detailed airports in my new 8GB laptop. I will certainly stick with FS9, and old FS9 software is also dropping in price at some places. FS9 for me :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lavochkin Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I still use FS2004. Waiting for a new sim in 64 bit. But I wait another year and see which one I want after I buy the 1080TI graphics card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRJ_simpilot Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I invested a lot in FS2004. It's a massive 55GB on two back up HDDs right now. But my main sim as of now is FSX. OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk? An awesome weather website with oodles of Info. and options. Wile E. Coyote would be impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zswobbie1 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Aaron, I see your 55GB, & raise to 70.2GB for my 'Ford Tri-Motor' install. My Golden Wings install is sitting at only 38GB. I also have P3D, but that's collecting dust, as FS2004 just keeps on working, &, as I prefer the older, slower & lower planes, I do not have any Boeings or Bus's. My main sim (99%) is the Ford install. Just with the Ford scenery, including sloping runways & ramps, as well as a 'Death Star' floating base with runways, that I was beta testing for the late Garry Smith. I was getting bored with the usual point-to-point flying, when I found the Ford stuff with skins, scenery & various scenarios. So my Ford install only has that scenery, planes & skins,&, as it is also the repository of Milton's older stuff, as well as all Mike Stone's planes. I have also added all of Bill & Lynne Lyon's great stuff. I keep the legacy ongoing, as a tip of the hat to those freeware developers that have given so much to us.

tiger1962 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I have an embarrassment of FS2004: 148gb in a single install, that's just the main folder size and doesn't include external mesh or utilities folders.

alanmerry Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Like many others, because of the large amount of addons, (totalling about half of a 240GB SSD) I continue to run FS9. I have improved its performance over the last couple of years by replacing HDDs with SSDs, a GTX960 video card and Windows 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinger2k2 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) 100% FSX for me since it was released. Although I never liked the default land textures. Thankfully that has been sorted by ORBX. I still have to keep my hand in with FS9 though because my 92 yr old father-in-law uses it and each time I visit he has a list of issues to sort out !

davidjones Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 We are down to 10% or fewer, based on sales. Other clues are found in the message forae - FS9 forae can go for days with no one starting a new topic or responding to an existing one. We've entered the death spiral of fewer users and fewer products as a result. I maintain FS9, FSX, and soon a copy of P3D V4 because I do testing and support for one of the few vendors that still supports all three. Otherwise, I'd probably begin the shift to FSX simply because of product availability. DJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burgerman Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Been simming forabout 17 years. I have both FS9 and FSX installed on my computer running windows 10. David Reed and myself started a website about 6 years ago, http://www.Historicairlinegroup.com and all my older airports and aircraft are installed there. I have a lot of time,blood,sweat and tears invested in FS9, not to mention the money. If you have FS9 installed with REX weather and Ultimate Terrain, it is hard to beat. FS9 is a large file but it runs so smooth on my system. I have all scenery maxed out with frame rates set at 40 and it maintains so well. I have a decent computer but my FSX still doesn't run as good as the old FS9. As you can tell I love my FS9!

Skywatcher12 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 FS9 can't be beat for visuals, performance and stability. If another sim gave all this I'd be gone but they don't. Just like with the toilet paper, the rest of the world has gone mad! FS9 still rules. Mark Daniels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piet06273 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I think the most important thing is that we pay our deepest respect to the Sites that keep the older 'Sims' alive by maintaining and still upgrading their File-Libraries for the 'old sims'.
