Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted January 30, 2009 Aerosoft Share Posted January 30, 2009 We are sure there will be some comments and some problems regarding frame rates over the new Manhattan scenery. Note that the system requirements are stiff. We rather give realistic requirements so people with moderate machines are not disappointed. System requirements:Microsoft Flight Simulator X (with SP2 or Acceleration)Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 (fully updated, Windows XP and 7 recommended)Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 CPU (Core 2 Quad or equivalent advised)2 GB RAM (4 GB advised)Direct X 9 compatible 512 MB Graphics CardDirect X compatible Sound cardDownload-Size: 320 MBInstallations-Size: 500 MBThe images attached below are done on settings that more dense than advised in the manual, on a Core I7, cheapest version, 3 Gb of ram, NVidia 8800 GTS, FSX SP2 on DX10 on Windows Vista. Now I don't call this a cheap system but at something like 750 Euro hardly a high end machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSXaddict 18 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I'm trying to buy ManhattanX but on the U.S. website, when I click to go to the product page, I get this error:404 Not FoundThe requested URL /aerosoft.com/cgi-local/us/iboshop.cgi was not found on this server. Apache Server at www.aerosoft-shop.com Port 80EDIT:I was able to get to the ManhattanX product page from the main shop page, far right Scenery table. But the main "product page" link is not working, well for me at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen something in it, FSX wise, that you like over Vista? And I guess you are suggesting we wait for the RTM version rather than beta!RegardsSimon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's in fact far better. At least as stable, even in beta stage, smoother and faster on any hardware, far less demanding on hardware (I got it running on a puny EEE netbook). I'm, using it now and when the RTM comes around I'll spend a day moving to that version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pwheeler 0 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I would just like to say that on my system I actually get a small fps increase with Manhattan X over having UTX render Manhattan with autogen and scenery complexity set to normal.Great piece of work!

I'm considering moving from my current 32bit XP forward to 64bit.Bill M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when the official release is available I will use the 64 bits version as I intend this to be my main OS for the next three years and certainly will have 8 Gb or more memory.

I run it on the advised setting and get always between 25 and 45 fps. There is nothing that can be done to make it faster other then removing a lot of objects and if we do that we could have used the FS2004 version a lot easier. I will attach two images, one showing over 50fps, the other over 38 fps. And this is on a machine that you can buy under $850. I will make the images gif and not jpg so you can see it has good quality and there is no simplification. Now if you can confirm that you use the settings and the tips in the manual and tell us you hardware (SLI actually makes FSX slower in our experience, I prefer a $125 graphics card myself for FSX) we'll try to help you get good fps. But if your system works well in other conditions there is something in your setup that breaks down when it is pushed over a certain limit. We see this rather often on Vista machines (and that's why we advice XP or Windows 7 beta) and it is a well documented but very nasty affair.But see the images and you'll understand it is not the scenery but the scenery in combination with your system that causes the problem.

apollo69 0 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 the recommended settings helped me out wit 1 or 2 more fps so no real improvement. when switching to DX10 preview things get much better and i come to fps between 20-35, but .... i have that rooftop flickering everywhere which is also described in another thread above ... too bad :-( really incredible nice scenery but not running on my system (intel core quad 3.2 , 8800ultra sli, 4 gb ram, vista ultimate 32 sp1). thank you for your communication and maybe i can wait for an update that will help me out ?! best regards :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
