Has anyone run MS Flight Simulator X on it? I'd like to know if this machine is capable of cleanly running FSX set at full or near full graphics.

I have read on the FS forums that this is the machine to run FSX flawlessly.

Yes it is fully compatible with FSX. I am running it with FSX on Windows 8.1 with no issues.

Not sure... I use FSX. I know you would need Service Pack 2 (free down load for FSX) or FSX Accelerated. I would suggest you get FSX.

I'm actually on it right now. It read directx 11.1 with exactly 562.2 mb of reserved memory for graphics. It cannot be changed from bios or anywhere else. If it is any consolation, it runs WOW on ultra at 24 fps

The simulator gives out what a person puts into it . Later addons might interest you for more realism . Stock out of the box FSX X puts out a fabulous wealth about flying acknowledged and renowned worldwide . The simulator can't simulate g-forces and cockpit movement but does help a person get an education towards real pilotage . The stock scenery may not be perfect-perfect but is quite good . Read the instructions on initial installation this may help make the program easier to work with , but given your PC is not too old it's likely to work properly . One good thing in FSX X is a built in Certified flying instructor . Good luck enjoy and learn . The simulator gives out what a person puts into it . Later addons might interest you for more realism .

Not only will FSX run on windows 8.0 but also windows 8.1. However, I see the picture of Flight Simulator 2004 and I've had some difficulty with FS-2004. I've been told that you can run 2004 but it maytake some very good technicians to set it up and they will have to have knowledge of Flight Simulator Programs, FS-2004 and older.......Thanks,

Yep, runs ok. In game you may have to go to the video settings and change rendering to "software" instead of "hardware" to make it run smooth.

I flew a s107 for a short time then moved up to the msrx ,there is a small learning curve,if you have patience it shouldn't be a problem. I have now moved on to the blade mcp x

Last machine I ran it on was a win7 republic of gamers laptop. It had to run in compatability mode, but I was able to play it (with minimal hicups, but some graphical degradation) I was using a beefy spec rig though, your mileage may vary. I havent tested it on windows 8/8.1

If you have at least 4 gig of Ram, and that processor should provide you ample power to run this. I run this on a Quad AMD processor with 4 Gigs and it did decently well. That game play is excellent. For me, it was as decent a scenario FPS as I have seen with some fairly decent realism.

Runs on my Vista x64 machines, no issues so far. I tested it on another Vista x64 machine before installing the full version for my current x64 machine. Both machines are Dell XPS 720s test machine Vista x64SP1 4GBRAM, GTX8800/768MB Final Machine Vista x64SP1 8GBRAM, GT8800/512MB

I just purchased the iMac 21.5 with ATI Radeon 4670 & I've played SC2 beta. It runs sooo smoothly. If you're an avid gamer, I'd recommend the 27" with the i5/i7 processors. They have a better graphics card than the 21.5" but I'm sure if you wait until August, they'll get an upgrade.I played SC2 with my friend yesterday with Photoshop running in the background. I didn't realize it was running but the fan was incredibly quiet & he was the one who got dropped from the game. The iMac will handle.

Hi, Mark. Your reply is very helpful to me. I'll looking at getting a small notebook in the future and was hoping to be able to handle some graphics and web editing without too much of a slow down. I'm glad to know you're happy running Illustrator on the NC10. How is the graphics card with an external monitor? Is the 2nd monitor limited to 1024x600, or can it handle higher res on the external?Thanks!
