Dear FS8:
You have been with me for this last 2 years, you brougth hours and hours of fun and dedicated flight.
I remember the first time i fly with you, you were installed in my old pc (PII) were fs98 was installed, besides your now grown cousin cfs2.
You were the first sim (you´re not a game) i installed on my new pc , and you have never let me down.
Now the sun sets in your horizon, a new breed have arrived and it´s time for you to rest. Be sure that you´ll never be forgotten, and that the space in my HD that you once ocupied is now filled with your new-born brother fs9.
Farewell FS2k2 Pro. and thanks for all the fun you gave me

sincerely yours:

Prowler.

PS: So far your cousin cfs2 keeps soldiering on, it´s a damn good sim!

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

I know what you mean - two days ago I dumped FS2002 after a lot of soul-searching (i.e. do I run the two side by side ?) There's only so many free hours in the day and having seen the step up to FS9 I made the decision - although having said that so far I have found it "a small step" rather than the somewhat exaggerated hype I have been reading. The big bonus to me has been the quality of some of the add-0n aircraft downloads, the default stuff will probably soon join my FS2002.

However, each to his own ... as a famous person once said...

FS9 was a big dissapointment, I like it but It lacks detail in my favorite airport KLNA and it's water effect leaves much to be desired.

AMD Athlon 64 3700+&&GeForce FX5200 256Mb&&1GB DDR400 DC&&Seagate 500Gb SATA-300 HDD&&Windows XP Professional X64 Edition&&&&That's right, I'm now using an AMD! I decided to give them another try and they kicked the pants off of my P4 3.4!

I'm one of the holdouts for FS10 and a computer upgrade Grin

but I've noticed that some FS9 stuff will run in 2002 and I pick the eyes out of what's around. FS2002 is only getting better for me!!

Cheers

I couldn't agree more, Colin. Yes, there are some nice models out there - but then don't you spend most of the time in the cockpit?

I prefer to fly passenger jets and things like opening exits, baggage doors etc etc leave me a little cold. There are also some great older FS2k2 and FS2000 planes in my collection that I don't want to dump, and I don't think would run in FS9. The scenery is generally fine (I have many scenery upgrades and terrain mesh additions for my favourite flight areas) so I have few grumbles there.

So yes, until I upgrade my PC (which is likely to be around when FS10 hits the shops!) I'll stay with FS2k2.
