Hi guys,
Thought I'd share my first attempt at a flightsim video, not wanting to be contentious but this was made with DCS World.

FSX has been a frustrating & expensive experience for me. Although I still continue to purchase the occasional addons, I can never get rid of stutters in FSX which always appear to be linked with sudden intense hard disk activity & FPS drops from a steady 30 to 4. I have to pause the sim for about 30 seconds and then continue.
This caused me to take another look at DCS, and whilst not a competing or comparable flightsim to FSX, it has restored my faith in flightsims, to deliver a challenge but as 'real' as experience as one could expect sat at a desk. On my ageing rig (i7 920, 8gb RAM, GTX 970) I get FPS between 45 - 60, certainly a lot smoother than FSX.
I hope to upgrade the rig in the new year so I can return to FSX or P3D but for now I hope you enjoy the video....
