Don't know if I will be doing that as I may need to PAY for an FSX Upgrade Patch of some sort Cry

OK, I give you the benefit of the doubt

Fair enough Doug.

I have been lucky enough to own my own company and invest in the only hobby I enjoy besides photography. What I have spent pales in comparison to lets say a car enthusiast buying a Lamborghini Wink

Just look at is as cybercash! Grin

Now would you like me to post my "Payware Aircraft" list Shocked

That's right, not ALL of the FS9 addons are fully FSX compatible. But some (most ?) are, sceneries or planes. Among those which were not fully compatible, Active Sky has already been updated for FSX, for example

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?

OK, it's your money. What you spend it on is none of my business.

Speaking of which, this was delivered last Friday about 30 minutes before I took the shot. No, it's not mine. Tongue

Well, I can't really say I'm disappointed. My computer is a pretty good set up, I finally got it to run FS9 will all the eye candy full bore, but it's by no means a super gamer. I can keep a fairly decent 25 FPS but only in the lowest resolution. But running this way allows me room for higher textures and scenery and autogen at 'normal'.

The lower resolution might be too big a trade off for most, but at least I can run it at a level I can enjoy the picture at.

As far as complaints, like I said, I can't really critique the game in as much as I don't fly in the areas a lot of people in other countries do so I can't comment on mesh quality and the like. Matter of fact without actually checking I pretty much limit my flights to the west coast and Hawaii areas.

I'm sure M$ will come out with patches and such to make everyone happy, maybe 3rd party developers will pony up with their fair share of after market addons.

If there were anything I would complain about is the way they changed the texture formats for the aircraft. Makes it hard for repainters. On that subject..anyone know if theirs a prog available like dxtbmp that will save the textures back to the file in the correct format?

DXTBmp will do it. The FSX texture format is the same as in CFS3. Make sure you have the latest version.

Thanks, Hagar.

Much appreciated, sir. I'll have to see which version I have.
