    I have not gotten a chance to download it yet. I can't wait.


    Stuart, maybe you should wait and order a copy of FSX with SP1 included.

      The odds of SP1 being in a on-shelf DVD are very low unless you wait for months. Tis best to just buy it and spend the 20 minutes downloading the 200MB pack.

      It's great for me, tastes good, less filling, etc.

        I wonder if the performance gains are anything noticeable. Doesn't really mean much if it just boosts it from 2 fps up to like 8.

          its actually pretty impressive. I went from about 9 frames to being able to maintian 20 with no problems.

            I installed it, upped the settings a lot, and still noticed a massive improvement.

            For those of you who don't want to buy FSX yet because your PC's are not up to scratch, buy it, download and install this, and you should be ok.

                      You need to run SP1 on a retail copy of FSX. This means that all addons must be removed,and your logbook, etc. needs to be moved or deleted temporarily. If you have already done it, you may want to do a clean install of FSX, and then run SP1. There are more details at Fsinsider.com

                        I have a decent PC, although hardly used FSX because of the performance issues. Giving this a go though.

                          Ok, so I guess I'll move all the addons for now...and then run the service pack. Damn it. I actually need FSX tonight for a Final Physics project.

                            Just had a play with one of the missions - performance is greatly improved on a middle-of-the-road system.

                            Time to re-instate the addons I think!
