    So anyone tried the combination: Vista SP1 RC1+SP2 for FSX?

    I currently don't have FSX installed. I'd like to hear if anyone's seeing any difference in fps, and if blurry texture problem have disappeared?

    Thanks :)

    You shouldn't see any difference between SP1 and SP2 in performance as it basically is adding things from Acceleration into the default FSX like DirectX10 Preview and Multiplayer support with Acceleration Owners. As for the blurries that has been discussed to great lengths from the devolopers and basically it comes down to a lack of resource and FS trying to keep a consistent framerate.

    Also issues have been reported with Nvidia cards locking up with SP2

    LOL :)

    I still have blurries, guess you can't completely avoid the blurries in FSX :confused:

    And they have no plans for futures service packs, disappointing. I think they could optimize the game much more, so that not only Octo-core 4GHz are able to run it flawless
