iMac i5(27") FSX Water LandingFlight Simulator X

[DreadedLeopard]

your piloting skills need work. besides that nice computer.

[myztic123]

Do you have an addon to make the graphics look good? I downloaded the FSX demo and it looked awful at the highest settings. But on Youtube FSX looks really good most of the time.

[sfdguy1]

need FLAPS

[DontClickMyChannel13]

is there noticeable diff wen playing between the 3.1 GHz and 2.7GHz model

[sgafa411]

Please do not become a pilot!!

Just kidding :)

[cyriln]

Good machine for video and creation, and u film ur screen with a small camera.

Well...

[DontClickMyChannel13]

what frame rate will this imac run at max setting

[Mati694330]

It's a simple landing but this called "allah landing"

[AceDoubleG]

Can You Tell Me Your Settings Cause I Just Done The Bootcamp And Installed Windows 7 And On That FSX!

[DontClickMyChannel13]

@AceDoubleG wen u do bootcamp do u have to reinstall the mac programing and does the mac come with a disk and if not how much will it cost

[samsomiller]

@DontClickMyChannel13 Nope, no reinstall required!

20-50fps

[javierriveraurruela]

Hey i'm thinking to buy a imac! the 21 inches one. The cheapest one that costs $1200.

Will it run FSX smoothly?? at maximum graphics .. its a good mac? is it a gaming mac ?

HELP!

[DexSwart]

@javierriveraurruela iMacs are absolutely brilliant! They use the new AMD Radeon HD 6750M graphics, which are brilliant! It'll run FSX ultra smoothly. Although you'll have to BootCamp it, it'll still be very easy.

They're definitely a gaming computer, with 4 GB of RAM and quad core processors.

All Macs are amazing, but if you do get a new Mac, get one with a Magic Trackpad.

There is also a new operating system out for Mac (OS X Lion), which is ultra easy to use.

:)

[samsomiller]

@javierriveraurruela The new ones do!

[herrjonna2007]

@javierriveraurruela Mac is never for gaming in general...

My six year old pc is faster than that... :P

[m200mw]

looks like poop, prolly bcause its mac

[AceDoubleG]

Okay Iv got a iMac Iv got bootcamp but I haven't installed vista cause I don't know what cd it is! Can someone tell me?

[m200mw]

@AceDoubleG ya... throw your pos mac away, DONT buy vista, build a computer with good parts from tiger direct, with the remaining money, buy windows 7 64-bit.... and run any game at max settings

[samsomiller]

@m200mw this computer cost me $800

[Slaa55Ma]

i play on my imac but sometimes it freezes...any idea why or how to stop?

[m200mw]

@Slaa55Ma throw the piece of shit away...

[DavidJames96]

is the quality much better on the iMac? are you using boot camp? please reply!

[joshomezza]

does it lag

[paras60372]

wtf

[F1guy1]

does it let u add any add-ons?

[F1guy1]

what was your memory card 4gb or 8??

[F1guy1]

what was your graphics card 4gb or 8??

[samsomiller]

@F1guy1 4gb of memory installed. idk if ill ever install more, 4gb seems plenty..

[Mr360tube]

if u use fraps does the frame rate go down should i buy an imac or make my own pc for fax and other high graphics games

[samsomiller]

@airbus198 ill remember that next time i do this.



[drumology2001]

Hey there! I am thinking about getting a 27" iMac, and I'm wondering what graphics card you're using in this video - is it a 512MB or 1GB model? (This may be a stupid question - sorry if it is.)

[samsomiller]

@drumology2001 its the 512mb card! I believe its ATI Radeon HD 4850.. works pretty good!

[drumology2001]

@samsomiller Wow - that's awesome! Thanks for the reply. (Nice landing, BTW!) ;)

To round out my questioning: this is a quad core i5, right? (Or is it the dual core?) And how much RAM is installed here?

[samsomiller]

@drumology2001 yep! quad core i5 its about a year old now.

[dimsilva]

And what about the MODS and other third party airplanes? It works?

[havichin]

fsx on a mac? microsoft game in mac? how did you it?

[Mr360tube]

@havichin its called dual boot

[B767rules]

OMG HAHAHA I laughed so much at the landing :D

[ReezyHD]

lol what the fuck you did with ur plane ? x)

[HokieFanatic1]

which windows did you use? windows 7???

[samsomiller]

@HokieFanatic1 the most basic version of XP

[ipodkid822]

did u use boot camp to run windows????

[samsomiller]

@ipodkid822 yep!

[ipodkid822]

@samsomiller did u use windows 7? Because i think my mac is good my specks are 2.3GHZ i7 4 gig memory and 512 gigabits of memory with a NVIDIA GeForce 1gb graphics please reply back if its good enough for fsx

[Slaa55Ma]

How do you make it full screen? I have an the same computer but its not he whole screen. Thanks.

[samsomiller]

@Slaa55Ma full screen? I think its ALT

[SimcoJ3]

Hahahha landing was great :) i laughed for 5 min hHAHAH

[samsomiller]

@SimcoJ3 haha yea thanks!

[ilil100]

lmao you made me laugh so much when the plane pretty much got fucked !

[samsomiller]

@ilil100 yea i suck at flying haha

[FiLoArBi]

The trim!

[Sakal799]

Hi could you please check your frame rate when flying around using the settings in the description with FRAPS. You can download the trial version. Thanks.

[warnock881]

the music reminds me of a watertank ad

[iphonik4]

Hi! I have the newer iMac i5, RAM 4 GB (2,8Ghz and ATI HD 5750 instead of 4850) pls I have a problem with low FPS on high settings, could you pls tell me your settings??? I am running on 32bit system and maybe that is the problem 'cause it uses "only" 2,99GB. Thanx!!

[samsomiller]

@iphonik4 What OS are you running? I have XP 32 bit. My settings are maxed out, Im getting 20fps average.

[iphonik4]

@samsomiller I am running on W7 :(

[Sakal799]

@iphonik4 The reason the fps is so high with max settings is because he is in the country. I had high settings and in the city the fps was low but when you fly into the country the fps shoots up to about 70. In the city it was below 30. This was when I was doing the charter mission with the water plane.

[iphonik4]

@Sakal799 Oh! I see :) Now I am running on Win7 professional 64bit and it gets better :) Thx

[samsomiller]

@Sakal799 yep i noticed this too

[samjohnson66]

If you had some spare time could you do a video of a higher density area like NYC. Id be really interested to know how this performs in a city with AI traffic all around. Maybe a video of a 747-400 approaching JFK with all settings maxed? also, if you hit ctrl+shift+z the frame rate will appear in the upper left corner. Thanks!

[samsomiller]

@samjohnson66 Hey yea I can do that for you. I'll do that sometime soon, maybe tomorrow.

[mhshah7]

Hi! I have the same Imac i5 as yours, same graphic card. And FSX on my system sucks, i use windows 7. It doesnt even run smoothly on HIGH settings. Plz advice! thanx

[samsomiller]

@mhshah7 well the only difference is that Im using windows xp. It SHOULD work great on these newer OS's but i guess not. Hmm well good luck. Sorry!

[bluefunkybassman]

@mhshah7 - are you using FSX with Windows 7 under Bootcamp, or in Parallels or something? I think only Bootcamp will give proper performance....

[schweingut1]

does it works on imac 27 i3?

[samsomiller]

@schweingut1 Yes it will work. Only difference is, this is quad core. It will run great on that machine!

[95666]

thats cool looking!
