I was rather disappointed with this title. I have seen Microsoft Filghtsimulator series grow up from when it first debuted. With FSX I really was expecting new territory with a Direct X 10 graphics version. But this even though the company that stands behind it Microsoft who developed Vista with Direct X 10 cannot even release FSX with it. That makes you wonder why! So with that said to me its more of the same with everything pushed to the max as fars as terrain and moveable AI. Yes it is a beast of a computer hog and you need a top of the line computer to enjoy some of it maxed out DX 9 capabilities. Service pack one was released and the really only noticable thing was the performance improved on my computer by about 20%. So SP1 even though no DX10 fixed a lot of issues both with performance and graphical terrain errors.
