In the video below the terrain mesh in the left hand shots is clearly better than the right hand shots. Cloud and sky textures are better on that side too. An there is the annoying glare on the inside of the cockpit windows that is clearly evident in some of the left hand shots. Wink

I agree John, and I don't like the "Cockpit Dashboard" view mode near the end from the video on the left.
Who would want to fly in "cockpit dashboard" mode anyway Roll Eyes

Makes me wanna cry.
I've spent more than a year wondering how my future FS9 machine would have been, all the while flying with FS98.
Then I've spent a year tweaking my new machine for FS9 and now... I'll have to start wondering about how my future FSX machine will be.

Uh, the shots on the left-hand side has better mesh because it's a real-world video. Note the word "real" shown on the top. That explains how the mesh is way better than on the right-hand side. Grin

The one on the left has better FPS than the other one. Wink

P.S. for the slow amongst us ( you know who you are..)..that was more sarcasm.

However, interesting video. I would also note that even the FSX isn't being played to its full potential in that vid as the machines aren't here to do it yet. So in the end, it'll be even better.
