Edited version of my X vs 9 entry.

Thanks for looking.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Are you an X or a 9? Now that I have both, it's almost like a split personality.

Nine. I can't afford X, not the software, the hardware I would need to run it, or the stress that would come from starting over from scratch. Grin

I got FSX because my 9 went TU. All the horror stories about it seem to be mostly BS and it's not that much different, user wise, from FS9 - had my settings entered and was flying in five minutes. Mostly whistles and bells but that's the American way

. I got the basic version and it was cheaper than FS9, of which I now have two copies. For my purposes, the planes fly - look OK and the default scenery is way better than default 9. No stutters and a steady locked on 28 FPS - and my card's only benchmarking a third of baseline

. Other than a refreshing beverage, what more can a person want?

Yeah, but 9 was a gift from my son a few years ago. Can't get X that cheap. Grin

You need a similar stroke of good fortune - write a note to Santa. You know FSX comes with another stripe - I'm stitching as I type

At the risk of sounding really stupid, I have no idea what you mean by another stripe or stitching as you type. Undecided

As in gaining a promotion - my FSX package assured me this was part of the deal and, you may have noticed, my sense of humor comes from being alone too much

No, didn't notice. But I do relate. No we don't. Yes we do. Get out of my head.
Sorry, just talking amongst ourselves. Grin

My conversations are mainly with my two dogs (Aussie and a Pug). Every once in a while, a recorded message will stir my interest

. Politically, me and the dogs are pretty much on the same page, but every now and then they provide a different point of view - more canine. Certainly keeps me on my toes which gets a little painful at my age.
