You see, it is statements like "you can't fly heavy aircraft in FSX" and "I need 40+ fps to be flyable" that are just not credibilty enhancing.  Generally, if you want to argue, you get further by coming within shouting distance of reality. There are ways to get good performance in FSX and fly heavy airplanes any way you want, but it would obviously be a waste of time to discuss them in this thread, which is indeed pointless, or, rather, has a point that is a waste of time for most people.

Now, i think you are uninformed here. What is not credible is stetements like "FSX is smooth at 15 FPS" which is absolutely not the case at all. The eye can detect up to 30 FPS. Anything below that is stuttering. That is not credibility to pu it mildly.

What IS true is that there are no computers that can run FSX with complex airliners at large airports over the world at 40+ FPS maxed out. To get 40+ FPS in settings like this you will have to tune down all the graphics in FSX until it looks worse than in FS9, so what's the point?

What i am saying is the reality of things, whether you find it credible or not.
