When it comes to flightsim i always use laptops. I had bad experience with personal PC computer always burns out. Which laptops you guys recommend and which windows is best for FSX?. I will change soon to FSX. I am not getting the overcast clouds eye candy that i know i can get with FSX using active sky next or REX. how about Alienware or Asus?? Which one is best???
I can't help you with a recommendation for a laptop. It's been a long time since I looked into laptops. My laptop is furnished by my company and anyway I use a desktop PC at home for FSX. You will get better frame rates using a graphics card in a desktop compared to the onboard graphics of a laptop.
As for the operating system, Windows 7 is better. FSX was not designed for Windows 8 and I've heard of nothing but problems from people attempting to use FSX and Windows 8. In addition, I would say that some if not most of the payware a/c are not compatible with Windows 8 yet.
Microsoft compatability areas say it is compatable.
Most of the problems I have read about are the use of a video card and a couple of updates for win8 which does not meet the specs of the gaming world and windows 8 criteria. Don't ask me as I would not use a laptop to fly FSX on. I did for MSFS2002,some time ago. remember that?
WOW Ohh yes i remember those days of MS2002 and FS98 but i currenly use a laptop for FS9 frame rates are perfect but i cant install ACTIVE SKY NEXT oviously is for FSX but i will take a look on the link U gave me thxs alot wayne!!!
