Gold Edition is FSX Deluxe + Acceleration addon
Get the Gold Edition, and if you want I will recommend you some addons that will make the game 100 times better than it is out of the box.

Hahaha....
Wow, great thanks guys, I really appreciate those pictures. I can spend a whole day looking at FSX pictures.
My brother lets me play his FS2004 once in a while, so I have some experience. But my buddy and I were planning on doing a world trip in possibly a Cessna 172, maybe something a little faster, but still a prop. So I wanna pop in the game soon and start training. I love flying with other people, the experience is amazing.
Oh, and may I ask what Video Cards you two have?
Thank you!

I have built a miniature flight school on our Hamachi server. I am teaching aviation_man and Fatback, and I am willing to teach anyone who has a serious interest in learning. I am a real life pilot and take it very seriously as Fatback will tell you; when we are in the plane together in FSX, I expect him to treat it like the real thing.
If you want to come fly with us, let me know :good:
My GPU is a BFG 8800GT

I have a 4850 and Enjoi has a 8800GT I believe. FSX is more dependent on CPU then GPU. I would go with something like a 4870 or GTX 260. That plus your i5 will give you one heck of a FSX experience.
btw a couple more screens

Ah, I adore the F-16....
Relating to what Enjoi said. I would love to be part of that. Aviation is my life, well that and roller coasters. I love going to CYYZ and just spot. I love when the aircraft fly over you at such a low altitude. I have flown in a hot air balloon, helicopter, commercial, and private. I'm looking to fly in ever single flying object (except a bird). But yeah, anways, enough of my blabbering.
The screen's look so beautiful, are they edited or just "out of the box"? I was trying to decided between the following GPU's:
EVGA 9800 GTX+
BFG GTS 250
And I'm leaning more towards the 9800 GTX+
Currently, my computer is built, but I need that Video Card to install the W7. The anxiety is killing me!!

Nah we don't edit any of the screenshots, I do sometimes edit the ones I use as wallpapers but that is about it.
How much do you want to spend on the GPU, and where are you getting it from.

Well, I am using Canada Computers. Although I can probably get a better deal with Newegg, I don't like shopping online because... well it's just me. CC is just down the road from me, so it's easier, plus, it's not like they don't have great prices, in fact, they have excellent prices!
I actually made my decision on the BFG GeForce GTS 250, because it's cheaper then the 9800GTX+, has a better warranty, and the store only sells the 512MB 9800GTX+ and I would rather have the 1GB one. I should be dropping in tomorrow to order it, should be here by the end of the week, and then I can most likely start using my new baby on the weekend!

I really wouldn't get either one of those. You can get a 4870 for $130 at that shop.http://www.canadacomputers.com//index.php?do=ShowProduct&cmd=pd&pid=018943&cid=VDC.243.272 that's a good bit better then a GTS 250. It's going to give you more room to crank up the graphic's in FSX. I'm pretty sure anybody will agree it's a better choice to get a better card for less than to pay more for a lesser card. Even better you can get a 4770 for $112 http://www.canadacomputers.com//index.php?do=ShowProduct&cmd=pd&pid=023378&cid=VDC.243.272 still better then a GTS 250. Plus it has the new ATI Eyefinity and DX11 either one of those cards is a better choice then the GTS 250.

Nvidia has nothing that ATI doesn't beside physx and it's better for folding. When buying a graphics card brand is that last thing to think about. Get what you can for the money you are paying.
