Moar FSX! 
Went down from 16x AA to 8x AA and it's a noticeable difference imo. I thought it'd improve my framerates but AA isn't the culprit. It's the scenery (buidlings) that's dropping my framerates so I'm guessing my CPU is bottlenecking?
Cathay Pacific Boeing 777-300ER
A really wonky Sukhoi SU-35 Flanker add-on that flew like a paper aeroplane. I got it up to 77,000ft before it stalled. 77,000ft is almost SR-71 territory.
The SU-35 didn't have a cockpit view so you get to see the world instead.

I bought JC2 in the sales,as you know i had it on PS3 but my PSN + ran out and i had restored my PS3 so did not have chance to re-download it again.
Looks much better on PC though,i like the explosions,Shame the game play mechanics are a bit clunky in places.
Yeah Justin, scenery is the big framerate killer in all the Microsoft flight sims. Unless you're running a killer GPU you need to turn it down.
Do you have a flight control system you use? Or just a regular controller?

Yeah my friends play it on the Xbox 360 and it looks a lot better on the PC. Even they have commented they think it looks better on the PC.
I know some aspects of gameplay are a bit of a let down, for example the handling of cars and the physics of the cars in general are quite bad, but it's still good fun. It makes blowing stuff up really satisfying. There are some great mods available too!
Umm on the Xbox 360 controller I use I just hold down the left or right trigger (I forget which now), not sure about how you do it on the keyboard. I imagine it's the same key which is used as the accelerator when driving a car?

Yeah, I am pretty sure you don't need to start the engine, just hold the accelerate key.

I thought my laptop would have been more than enough to run it all on very high since FSX came out in 2006.
I'm using an Xbox 360 controller. Not really the best to play FSX with.
They're different from a car to aircraft.
Car is W to go forward. Aircraft is Shift to throttle up (rise in helis or accelerate in planes) while control does the opposite. WASD are used to control the aircraft. On planes you can free use the mouse as a camera but on helis it's part of the turning mechanic.
I've gotten addicted to JC2 and neglected my homework 2 nights now because of it.
Hahaha when I first got the game I got hooked too.

cpu and ram is really slow, doesnt compliment the hd 7850 at all. Should be getting a lot more performance in some games but cant due to the crappy cpu.
