i think for the mose part from what i have read most agree including myself that there is no clear winner. except fore a few hard core fs9 and fsx lovers. i myself agree that right now fsx is an exalent sim for low and slow i have enjoyed many hours in hawaii and many places just flying around. even though my pc is hardly capable of such a game. but on the other hand i love commershal flying. and thats where fs9 comes in. upgrades to if you like to download and customize fs9 is for you so
-low and slow fsx
-fast fs9
-crazy upgrades fs9
-eazy-er on your comp fs9
but given time fsx will slowly acheve the things we love so much in fs9. Like a huge feware base and hardwear will catch up to the game as well.
but right now its not fare to say that anyone is defanitly better thet the other right now for many reasons.

Sorry but I couldn't resist it.

Spell checkers can be very useful but cannot find correctly spelled words used in the wrong context.

Try as I might I've never been able to convince Foz that the word meaning to mislay something (as in one's marbles) or fail to win is spelled lose (pronounced Lou's) & not loose (pronounced as in goose or moose.) This is one of the most common errors on the Internet.

Now  T H A T' S  funny   

Good morning all...

No problem Dave...thanks.      

However this does bring up a question...I will start a new thread though about spell and grammar checkers.

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Doug,
Image you & your beaver skimming the tops of the trees and taking in all that Autumn has to offer!

Doug,

In reference to the Otters: E.H. is speaking of design programs that would allow him to remake the Otter into a 'true' FSX aircraft .  

I've downloaded both Otters, the 'dch3pzl.zip' (original amphibian) and 'Otter_PZL.zip' (updated amphibian and wheeled).  They both work in FSX and look great also, with a couple of exceptions noted below.

FSX-dhc3pzl amphibian out of 4S2-Hood River


Notes: The dhz3pzl is the best flyer of the 2. The Otter_PZL seem very sluggish in repsonse to the control surfaces (I found this to be true in both FS9 and FSX, more so in FSX).  The rudder seems to cause a reverse control effect. Maybe some tweaks to the aircraft.cfg can fix that.

The starter switch does not work properly and requires the use of autostart to fire up.

If you want to try the Otter in FSX:  

*Start fresh by unzipping one of the downloads (I'd suggest the dhc3pzl.zip as it handles better).
*In the unzipped folder move or copy all of the gauge files from the gauge folder to the ac's panel folder. (if you later want to remove the ac from FSX you don't have to hunt down the gauges) You'll also need the 'Cessna208.gau' file from FS2004. If you don't have FS2004 installed get it from  FS2004's CD#2\MSGAME3.cab.
*Move or copy the aircraft to ...\<FSX>\SimObjects\Airplanes\

The first time you load the aircraft you'll get 2 messages about each of the gauges. Click 'Run' on the first message and 'Yes' or 'No' on the second message depending on your preference.

Dave
