Jordan, have you tried this?

Mango (from FS2004) went from 10 frames to 30 with this tweak.

Guys, this version requires lots, and lots of finetuning.
Got my copy today, and worked 4 till 5 hours before I got my current configuration, which brought me from 9.5 frames at Amsterdam Schiphol to 25.
So it is possible to get a nice performance, but you've got to work for it to get it exactly tuned for your PC.

I went to my local best buy, and they didn't even have it on the shelf. Not even in the "preorder" section.

Yeah, I called my local EB Games store Friday. They said they only had 1 copy of each standard and deluxe. I practically hung up the phone on the guy and raced down there to grab the very last copy of deluxe :D . Moral of the story: it is out, and it is going fast.

As for the tweaks, my system is about a year or so old. The game runs just fine but had to turn A LOT of stuff down as compared to the demo. <_< Sadly I haven't seen enough of the game yet to get anywhere close to the screenshots.

I have a question tho....is there a list of these "detailed" cities yet? I've flown around NYC, Atlanta, and Orlando and they all look like poop. I couldn't even find the statue of liberty :no: .

Chances are it didn't show up because your scenery settings wern't high enough. I know that Seattle is one of the detailed city. (amoung Many)

I read somewhere (fatwallet?) that fry's had FSX standard @ $35, don't know about deluxe. (Then again I don't even know what fry's is other than it's a store, but they seem to have a lot of deals).

Frys is like a store version of Newegg.com but they have higher prices. They're mainly in California but have other locations. From their website, it says standard version is $37.99.
