  1. Seeing your PC spec is useful. I'm running an i5 7600K OC at 4.5Ghz, 16 Gb RAM and an MSI GTX970 4Gb graphics card, 22" monitor at 1600x1050. I plan to change the monitor to something with 1440p and use the GTX970's Display Port as an immediate upgrade. The expensive stuff will need to wait until the GPU prices start to fall. My graphics card is the the weakest link, but I would hope the PC could run MSFS at an acceptable level.
  2. I saw the same area depicted in my screenshots on FS2020 yesterday, and you are so right. It looked stunning. I suppose like many, I have so much invested in FSX that I am reluctant to move to the new sim, but I think it will happen eventually, although my spec may struggle a bit. Or possibly I will end up using FS2020 for VFR and keep FSX for my flying my expensive payware "big tin" aircraft. Thank you for your thoughts. Regards
  3. Thanks for the quick reply Nick. I should have added that my graphics settings are all at maximum. I understand the limitations in terms of when the photoreal images were taken, so I suppose I'm asking if you would expect more detail from the photoreal scenery when at max settings ? eg the grey area just below the aircraft nose is a railway station, but hardly discernable. In general I cannot identify railway lines which would be a great help in VFR ;-)
  4. Can someone possibly confirm whether my scenery is displaying as would be expected. My reason for asking is that I am going thru virtual PPL training but having real difficulty identifying locations in my scenery. As an example, I use EGTB ( Wycombe ) as the training base with the training area to the north of it around Aylesbury. I am using Orbx Global Base, Global Vector, OpenLC Europe and Region England. I have attached a couple of screen shots. The first is with all Orbx deactivated in the Scenery Library, and the second with everything active. There is a difference, but it's not huge, or maybe I am expecting too much ? Would you expect more of a difference ? It may be it's my hardware. i5 7600K OC at 4.5Ghz, 16 Gb RAM and an MSI GTX970 graphics card. It easily produces 100+ fps. My monitor is a fairly old 22in with DVI connection running at native resolution 1600x1050. Would a better monitor say something like 2560x1440p using the Display Port render better results ? The whole PC will be upgraded in the fullness of time, but would appreciate any guidance on whether a better monitor may derive better results in the short term. Thank you
