hurricanemk1c 195 Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Is there goint o be a boxed version of this? I'm more interested in the FS9 one, but a FSX one wouldn't go amiss...... Link to post Share on other sites
Edward Longe 3 Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 The boxed version will be released soon. Link to post Share on other sites
GabethePilot 1 Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 The FS9 version is very good indeed... well worth it. Performance-wise, its around that of the PMDG 747. Will be interesting how it compares to the PMDG 737 for FSX, as they have already intonated that it will require a very good PC. Link to post Share on other sites
GabethePilot 1 Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Hmmmm... Doesn't look good: Here's a quote: This is such a magnificent piece of art! Hand flying this baby is absolutely marvelous! I'm not a real pilot, but I can feel the difference between addons... ".....One downside though: VC FPS performance. Even on my monster-machine, if it can be called that, I get dips as low as 20fps at Heathrow. 2D is working very well, complex as it is. Specs: FS-Hardware: Thermaltake Armor Tower, Asus P8P67 Pro, Intel Core i7-2600K @ 5Ghz, 8GB Corsair 1866 CL9 (CMX8GX3M2A2000C9), Zotac GTX580 1536MB, 2x 500GB & 1x 1TB Seagate 7200rpm HDD, 1x WD Velociraptor 150GB for FS9, Plextor PX-880SA, 2 Soundcards............. ..." Ouch !!!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Wasn't interested in the PMDG 737X - my system can just about run FSX Accel with Dave Gardwoods Hunter packs (review in progress!) But it's good to hear there's going to be a boxed version! Hopefuuly with a nice, big printed manual Link to post Share on other sites
GabethePilot 1 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 They do a bound manual set - starts at £30 I think. Link to post Share on other sites
