    FSX ran perfect on my m15x smooth until i ran FRAPS which reduced my FPS just to make this movie :)

    but this laptop is not bad putting aside all the horrible things that came with it. I am going to try to love my laptop and i am going to try to forget the nightmare.

    Might as well enjoy it now since i cant change what has happened with Austin computers and the dodgy stuff inside my laptop. No point being angry at Austin Computers and Alienware but i can get even and never buy from them again.

    Right now i hope you will enjoy this movie i made using fraps running fsx at 1600x1050 in wide screen mode full screen as well as using TRACK IR.

    TrackIR is a head tracker that smooth your virtual screens as you turn your head there fore leaving your hands free from teh keyboard or joystick whilst flying.

    I highly recommend TrackIR a great master piece :) that will bring you tons of joy for your gaming.

    FRAPS killed my FPS - I tried to set affinity but Vista wont let me - therefore FPS will be bad when recording - with FRAPS FPS=20 - 25 without FPS FPS=25-35
