Strategic Retreat, I know that you say that Flight could be good, but you never really have said anything "good" about it. Is there anything at all that you think could happen that is good? If not, why not just switch to X-Plane. You seem to be holding your past experiences with Microsoft against Flight for some odd reason. I really don't see why a flight simulator enthusiast could be so sad about a new expansion to a series that lasted 28 years. Undecided

What on Earth (or Pluto) is MOOT?

"Moot" is a topic which gets debated on. I'm not sure if that's the same moot they're referring to though.

Whatever form of compression you can use on an image stored on a disk, for this to be used by a software, said image MUST be decompressed first in memory... or you believe perhaps that when opening a pic on Photoshop you in memory have the compressed image verbatim to the file on disk? Would be useful, but at the moment, it doesn't work like that, at least not for JPG. Cool

I don't hear them, and anyway, it was just a suggestion. I found switching from water effects x1 High to water effects to x2 High water effects encountered a frame rate loss of about 10-15.

Not a good reason to take away the possibility to choose, though. Tongue

I actually found 800x600 quite acceptible. I find acceptible/good visuals with a frame rate of 35-80 ten times better than wonderfull visuals with a frame rate of 2-5.

No one forbids you to use 1024x768 though, right? The fall of performances using 1024x768 is minimal compared to 800x600 AND the amount of Antialias filtering (if you elect not to get your eyes burned out in their sockets by the horrid aliasing of the unfiltered oblique lines) needed to have a smooth image at 1024x768 is WAY lower than lesser resolutions (4X at 1024x768 can be enough, but is too grainy on 800x600). Huh

Well, the Google translator has yet to fail me (differently from other similar services on the net), and its translations are available in 64 different languages. It is and remains extremely useful when adventuring on a language you have no complete mastery on. The only problems MAY stem when trying to get translation from languages using an exotic char set like the Chinese or Japanese... Wink

i've been hearing alot about 800x600 being bad, but really, what's so bad about this?

Really. It's not that bad to me. That's why I prefer FS9.

I was, of course, speaking about translation of single words. We're still WELL far away from a simultaneous translation software THAT WORKS... or at least I haven't heard about such a miracle software yet... especially one that allows correct translations of complete phrases between and across multiple languages.

I wish you a nice trip in that parallel dimension (if they are real and if it exist) or an even nicer trip with the ACME Time Machine, if said reality will exist somewhere in the next centuries on this timeline, then. Grin

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

Anyway... Back on topic.
The reason I voted yes was that It's all about maximizing profit. If you buy a new Comp for that you also get new software. If you get new M$ software, They get more money solution? Linux I guess. And Windows 8 is coming So another $300 out of some poor souls pocket

Speak for yourself, please. If YOU buy a new PC... the actual hardware I own is more than enough for me. Flight will NOT work on it? Pity. It means Flight will not be bought by me. Tongue

Tongue

And as about OS... it's a while now that I've stopped chasing the vastly expensive and unsatisfied point of view of the "new at all costs", and if I do not need it, I won't use it even if it's given me totally for free.

Sometimes, speaking of this and that new software, it's generally forgot that the so called "new hardware" must be paid by the end user... who pays for the new software too... in a system that grants said end user the great whole of ZERO satisfaction, and only pushes said user to fork more, and more, And More, AND MORE dough for something else... BUT almost never something MORE...

M$ has a last chance to redeem themselves in my eyes. And they have already tackled this task with the wrong foot down, striving in their task to denaturalize the very philosophy of FS, first rejecting the notion that is a simulator, then attempting to build a X-box-like close market around it they want to make us believe it's the best thing even before sliced bread...

FOR THEM!!! ONLY!!!!!

A last chance IT REMAINS. It's not like there aren't alternatives around, after all. And if they continue to go on bull headed on this unfortunate course of action... Smiley
