I guess so, this evening I already had multiple people on MSN complaining to me that the performance is so bad and that they are not happy with how it runs on their PC. Do they expect me to have a magic solution for that?

I guess we have to see if this complaining goes away once they have tuned their settings properly or not. Although I must admit that the performance of FsX is not great (especially not on my 3 year old PC), I never understand why people can't understand that more features and more cool stuff also means that the performance will be lowered a bit if you run it on the same hardware. It has always been like that with new versions of FS.
