FLIGHT SIMULATION FORUMS

[tankie1rtr]

Hi All.
I am a newbie and this is my first posting, well at the ripe age of 56 yrs young, I have discovered the fun and excitement of flight sims, (I am ex British Tank Regiment so have always used Tank Sims) I have a bit of a problem that I would like advice on. When I discovered flight sims, I wanted the best so I was told to buy the MFS X Deluxe, so I did so, I then saw a demo video of the PMDG and thought it looked fantastic doing all the pre flight checks and being able to click all the switches as a real pilot would do, so I wanted the PMDG, I purchased the PMDG 737, I have paid for it but it has not srrived up to yet, since then I have been told that I will not be able to fly it with my MFS X, so I now have to make a choice, which is the better of the two, do I get rid of my MSF X Deluxe and buy the MFS 2004 so I can use the PMDG, or do I get rid of the PMDG and keep the other. any help gratefully accepted.
Regards to all

What are your computer specs? that will be the determining factor in how well FSX will run.

Hi guys.
Thank you for your replies, and YES I presume I am another youngster...lol, I have loaded up the MFS X Delux version that I mentioned and it seems to run wonderful, I received my PMGD 737 NG 600/700 this morning, so I now have both, but still require your expert advice to my original question, as to you questions my pc details are as follows.

O/S Microsoft XP Pro.

System Type. X86 Based PC

Processor. X86 Famiy 15 Model 4 Stopping Genuine Intel 2800 Mhz Double Core Processor.

40 Gig Hard Drive.

Total Memory 2 Gig.

Sound Max Intergrated Digital Audio.

Regards to All.

Welcome! To me your system seems more suited to ruin FS9 full out...but.

If you like the way it runs FSX then by all means keep that.
There are plenty of add ons for both.

With a 40gig h/d you will be limited to add on scenery and some larger aircraft.

You started off with jet liners, your better off starting with single engine props and graduating to airliners, less chance of becoming disgusted with difficulties.

Hi Radarman.
Thank you for your reply, I am a bit confused you mention FS9, what is that? I have MFS X Delux and a PMDG Add On. The PMDG seems to have a lot more in depth realism than the aircraft on my MFS X, can you please tell me do the add ons for MFS X have the same in depth realism with all the switches that have to be operated like the PMDG?? also I am hoping to install a 160 Gig hard drive into my pc next weekend.

I full agree with RadarMan.If your tention is to not spend $ for an upgrade-actually you need a brand new system for FSX- it is better to stick and enjoy FS9.Though some more Gigs of Disk Space necessary

Hi Radarman.
You say that PMDG make add ons for MFS X, does that mean I may be able to run this PMDG 737 NG 600 700 on my MFS X ??? also you mentioned the C130 Hercules that we all love, I must say, I definitely agree with you, I left the Tank Regiment British Army and Transfered to the Parachute Regiment, and we jumped out of the Hurc or HurcyBird as we called it. Best aircraft that has ever been produced.
