    IMPORTANT: GEOFS HD IS ACTUALLY 10 DOLLARS FOR 1 YEAR IM JUST SLOW AND ACCIDENTALLY THOUGHT IT SAID MONTH, ill be cutting that part out asap, i'll have to wait a little bit though since im a little busy rn though, once again i'm very sorry.
    ALSO IMPORTANT: IT SEEMS MSFS IS CURRENTLY 50% OFF IF YOU BUY IT FROM MICROSOFT AND NOT FROM STEAM SO ITS ONLY 29.99 USD. GET IT NOW IF YOU WANT IT! Thank you @Turbo_orca25 for commenting this.

    Every time I decide to try FSX again it feels like hanging out with a friend you haven't seen in years. It also feels really calming and I just lose track of time replaying the missions and visiting places I used to fly all the time. Good memories.

    I wish MSFS 2020 had such great missions like FSX and until Msfs 2024 comes out I don’t think any other flight sim will beat the missions and the amount of missions that fsx has. Honestly even though I have Msfs 2020 and XPlane 12, I still see myself coming back to fsx not just because of the nostalgia but because it is just a great game.

    If slow computer is a factor, highly recommend FS2004. You can get it to look better than FSX with better performance. Of course, the latest Xplane and microsoft sim offerings are the best if you have the computing power

    If I still can't get a PC powerful enough to run MFS2020 or X-Plane 11 or 12 and my budget allows it, I'll definitely get FSX. For a sim that's almost 20 years old, I think the graphics still hold up. And with add-ons it can even look as good as X-Plane 11.

  • @Itdoesntmatteranymore

    • @AviationIguess
      @AviationIguess  4 місяці тому

      Yeah after uploading this video I started doing some more research and found tons of free scenery/visual addons and aircraft addons for free. I think I could have talked about this in the video but I didn't research much addons before it being published. I think I'll learn from this video though and I might remake it to make it more informative.

    P3d is a jump from fsx in terms of graphics but only requires plenty addons to make it look good. Fortunately like there's simplaza for msfs, there is a likewise website for it too. Most fsx addons work too

    I think I could probably run Microsoft Flight Simulator 40th Anniversary Edition (a.k.a MSFS 2020) on lower settings on my PC but I like the part where Flight Simulator X doesn't take up about half of my hard drive the way 2020 would. And I'm not going to go for MSFS 2024 because I refuse to buy online-only games.
    The downside of Flight Simulator X is obviously the lack of detail outside of a handful of major cities and other famous locations but fortunately, since it's still old-school Flight Simulator that lets you install whatever add-ons you like, there is a whole galaxy of third-party scenery, both fanmade and commercial, which I can download for either completely free or for a pittance considering the commercial add-ons for FSX are usually well over a decade old.

So many things can be used still ! Apx files no u can’t well it kinda works but when you search your airport by name u get ????? Marks loads of same stuff from fsw fsc dtg p3d cfs1-3 fs2000-2004 works also I’m telling u!

But yes still going strong with fsx I know we can make it look as good as msfs yet many things we don’t have there like train stations and etc! Btw May I ask if might have a copy of fs global 2005? It would nicely blend with all other mesh scenery I’m running on ! Thanx !

    Well hey the biggest thing for fsx is there is a VERY GOOD BENEFIT in my opinion. Well sure xplane might be realistic but fsx has MORE addons than xplane and well for fsx u have rikooo and many different addon website for free. U can get PMDG airliners and big airlines for free in xplane there are still alot but fsx is better so in my opinion buy fsx for good addons and mods. And buy xplane for realism and physics. But me i like fsx better

    i feel fsx and p3d are more realistic in aircraft performance than msfs. Also fsx and p3d controls are more more human friendly than msfs. in fsx we know how much time compression there is and its perfect. In msfs we have to guess time compression. Fsx is very easy to play with keyboard and mouse. Msfs is much more complex to play with keyboard and mouse.
