what a joke

Exactly. The sim has more problems when running in windows XP.

In my case, i have a two year old PC (i7 920 at stock 2.7 Ghz, Ati 4890 1GB, 3GB RAM) and it runs fine under win7 x64 on DX10 mode, using mostly medium settings at a 1680x1050 resolution.

I've had no random crashes, no CTDs, no problems at all in terms of stability and a solid 25-60 FPS (capped due to Vsync) depending on the terrain i'm flying over and regardless of amount of aircraft present for the most part, ever since the first couple of patches were applied. Heck, i don't even get the sound bug when flying online and my RAM and vRAM use is topped out pretty much the entire time when i'm flying.


As for the sound bug, the reason it takes so long is that they are not fixing only that bug, they are redoing the entire sound engine along with the samples from scratch.

I agree it's frustrating for some and many people have problems. I just don't think this is a majority like it was in the early days and it shows from the kind of bug reports we get: it went from a majority of "i can't run the sim at all in a stable manner" to "please fix gameplay feature X", which pretty much means the majority of people are actually flying.


I suppose in another 3-6 months we'll be having a blast, especially if they keep working on it at a similar pace. Until then, reading the technical guides and the FAQ threads can help people get some enjoyment out of it until further improvements are made.
