FSX / FSX Steam Edition *MAX Settings Side by Side*

This is a side by side comparison on the VAS usage and frame rates between FSX and FSX Steam Edition in DX9. I would normally not use these settings to fly but wanted to stress the platforms to their limits. Spent the holiday putting this together so hope you enjoy if you were looking for more definite answers to all the claims.\r
