Are you running both versions without any scenery addons that doesn't affect New York? If you have New York scenery addons installed, take those out and then make a comparison. If you only have default scenery, then I guess you'll have to wait until someone improves the scenery with an addon. Besides, us addon developers are always gonna be one step ahead of Microsoft no matter how hard Microsoft tries to catch up. Grin

Even if you have just the default sceneries in both FS9 and FSX, at the SAME settings, the FSX scenery will not give you the same performance.

Basically, the FSX scenery is much more "detailed" (in the basic complexity of the underlying mesh) so that (the following is a philosophical comparison, not a detailed and factually accurate comparison) a "medium" setting in FSX would be a "high" setting in FS9...

In other words, you aren't comparing apples to apples here

Let's not forget that FS9 has a detailed satilite image for the NY City area .
I find this preferable to the generic autogen and textures in FSX even though they might be higher res.

FSX not having satilite images for major areas in is a step backwards IMO.

Home airports are KMGJ and KSWF in Orange County, NY&&Stop by and say hello.

Joe D , I agree with you, It definately is a step backwards.

Nick, John and I are talking about the whole NY City area, not just the island of Manhatten.
The NY City area contains many distinctice roadways, marshes etc that are sorely missing in the gerneric FSX NYC area.

In FS9, the NYC area looked great with the salite pic even coupled with third party add ons like UT and BEV

The NYC area area is much, much more than a few high rise building on an island. Wink

Sadly, there are other major areas in FSX that suffered the same fate with the absense of satalite pics that were present in FS9.

Sorry... I guess I read the title of the thread and original post wrong.

The Difference is that not everyone has a high def computer and that we cant all play it like that. My point is that FS9 had great scenery for NYC and even other cities but in FSX, the default is far from even looking like the city. (IT HAS FRKIN THREE BUIDLINGS IN FSX USING THE DEFAULT SCENERY IN NYC!!!!!!) Sad

They dont even have the Crysler Building last i checked!!! I ditched X, im going back to FS9. For a windows XP computer like mine, FS9 is a much better quality game.

If NY is one of the 'High Details' cities of FS9, then it has a separate directory in the scenery folder of FS9.
Maybe you cloud try to import and declare that scenery in FSX and post the results here ?

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?

I think this forum needs a new section. Let's call it, "Ways that FS9 is better than FSX".. because the the effort put forth to come up with them is becoming a creativite art form, worthy of it's own section.

I think that would also keep people from going to the FS2004 section and posting about why they no longer run it. Roll Eyes
