i am thinking of get this to run my microsoft flight simulator x 2004 gold edition. does anyone have info as to how it performs with fsx

I would consider the GTX 750 TI. If the TI is too much then just go with the GTX 750. The EVGA GTX 750 Superclocked is about the same price as this card and would perform much better with your game.

You shouldn't have any problems, considering it came out in 2004 and this card came out years and years later.

YES, I bought flight simulator before, 10 years ago, in 2004, now I have flight simulator 9 and X(10) and they are much better. And you can get upgrades on terrain and water, but uses much more of graphics card.my current graphics card, is a 4GB card and a faster 4 core (3.6GH) AMD, however simulator will only use 1 core, software was written before muli-core was out.if any more question E-mail me thanks vince

Your CPU looks alright. I would recommend though that you have a dedicated graphics card. Personally I am running a Pentium G 860 and a NVIDIA GT 640 Graphics card. If you are ever in the market to upgrade, go for a dual core CPU. FSX was built around that architecture. Any more cores and it just gets more and more unstable/jittery/flaky. Good luck and happy flying!

Works for me! I use it with a ThrustMaster X-Fighter.Edit (May 2015):However, because OS X provides no calibrator, any joystick becomes useless unless you virtualize Windows/Linux (which have calibrators) with something like Parallels/VMWare Fusion. If only the Rockfire unit came with installable drivers containing a calibrator like the Xbox 360 controller does. Unfortunately, they have not been maintaining/supporting the product at all.

Not sure... I use FSX. I know you would need Service Pack 2 (free down load for FSX) or FSX Accelerated. I would suggest you get FSX.

Yes, it works with many, most or all simulators. Using standard wheel and pedal USB drivers. Works with NFS, SRW and F1 so far. Should work for most othets. Takes up very little desk space, which was a major selling point for me.

Windows 7 has an XP emulator and runs Flight Simulator 2004 just fine. I ran the program for years on XP and recently upgraded to Windows 7 by saving all of my saved flights from XP and reloading. It was like I never left. Don't be concerned about XP or Windows 7, this program works flawlessly on both.

It'll run Minecraft at MAXIMUM settings without lag. I'm not sure about other games, but I use X-Plane 10, a flight sim, and I get pretty good FPS when using it.

I own a CX2, MCX2 and MSR. I use my DX6i on all of them and it works great.As mentioned, the DX6i has 10 memories for 10 planes. I do fiddle with the various adjustments that can be made with the DX6i even though I don't reallyknow what I am doing!! Actually the DX6i was real handy for taming or calming downthe MSR until you get familiar with how it flies and handles. Have fun !

No, it only works with FSX and must upgrade to service pack 2 (this is downloaded online)

Yes it is fully compatible with FSX. I am running it with FSX on Windows 8.1 with no issues.

I believe the question was "can you download the FSX program onto a external disk drive and the answer is yes, however the program will run fine on the C: drive of your computer since that will probably be the only drive being used at the time. If you want to add scenery or aircraft too the Flight Simulator Program, that will go directly into the FSX program.

I only know it supports FSX, and then that's is questionable. I bought 3 if them based on reviews from other post. Personally I would not recommend them to any one.

After searching the web, I'd recommend going to 'flightsim.com' and to the forum,and you may find some answers there. Myself, I've experienced over sensitivityon X Plane and FSX on my HP Pavilion i5, using the CH Flightstick Pro. In contrast,my old PII 333 with parallel ports, Flightstick Pro, Pro Throttle and Ch Rudder pedalis still as good as it gets for realism, regardless of the older graphics. I have flownactual aircraft and know how a sim should fly. It'll be a sad day when my old systemchecks out! I'm no expert, but can't understand the present compatibility factor between theflight sims and the sticks. Hope this info was somewhat helpful.

FSX Gold includes 1. FSX Deluxe + SP1 & SP2 2. FSX Acceleration Pack 3. If interested in SDK the last disk also includes the SDK service packs (2). You do not need the gold version to run on win 7 or win 8! It is only a packed version of everything + service packs. This FSX is the same as when it first came out, it has NOT been updated! Note: you cannot run acceleration with the standard version of FSX
