Hello everyone,

I just bought a Saitek X52 joystick and Microsoft flight simulator X deluxe and so far its been pretty cool. Running that game however hasn't.

I was wondering if anyone could suggest if I need any upgrades to my system or should invest in something.

My system:
ASUS A8N-SLI Premium Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD
AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Venice 2.2GHz Socket 939 Processor
eVGA 256-P2-N537-AX Geforce 7800GT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card
CORSAIR ValueSelect 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200)
Western Digital HD 111 GB (pretty old)
good case
sound blaster audigy 2

If you need to know anything else let me know.....

Thanks for your guys help!!
 
Those specs don't look bad at all. I have read though that game even runs "subpar" on $ 3K machines. I think it is more about adjusting the setting in the game to get the most out of it. You have a nice computer, have you messed around with any of the game setting yet?
 
Yea i have found information about adjusting the settings, but I was wondering if there were any fixes I could do to my system now which would help me out for this game and any future games.
 
OC that CPU or get a 4800+ X2... not sure if it will help that game... unfamiliar with it. If its CPU intensive, then yes, it would help to OC or get a faster CPU.
 
I think you are asking in the wrong forum community. Frugal's World of Sims has this thread:

FSX Tweaks

The people who used them got much better framerates, exactly what you're looking for. Also, now that you have the X52, check out some other sims on the forums. Falcon 4.0:Allied Force is my current favorite combat sim. Only I play with a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro :( , not the beautiful X52.
 
Thank you for the great replies!!

I'm not looking to upgrade my computer just for FSX, I was asking in general if I need any upgrades to my current system. I have been reading and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for me for general computer gaming.

If so...please let me know where I can upgrade for gaming keeping in mind whats coming out in the future.
