just from what i've read on here and a few other forums from other flight sim users, was enough to scare me away from the program, and not bother with it.
actually if ya invest in a good graphics video card, and play with the Default Settings time wise, sunset / dawn/ etc. you'll get some fairly amazing shots,, just with default,, with a really good graphics card !!
I have installed some of the Freeware stuff from Orbx,, to enhance the grass, sky, sun, etc.. other than a few Payware Airports, and Freeware airports,, My FSX Gold/ Acceleration is simple,,
the simpler it is the more I like it,,, I learned if I start adding all the Supposed programs into the sim, some work just fine on their own,, with no other programs to choke on'.....
others don't mingle/ mix well with other programs,,, for whatever reason
and I HATE problems !!!
I WANNA FLY,,,,,, NOT FIX & TINKER !!!
Bout like trying to shove a box of crackers in your mouth,, drink milk, and slug a big Mug of Whisky down all at the same time - something ain't gonna Mix well,, and even IF it does go down,,,, somethings gonna find it way back up,, and in a Big Mess !!!
Guess what - you'll get to fix and clean up the mess !
Remember to actually FLY sometime,,, thats why we have these thingy's called Flight Simulators !!
I'm keepin mine Simple - " K.I.S.S." / Keep It Simple Stupid !!
Start mixin too many of the programs all together even tho they Might say their for whatever sim,,, doesn't mean they'll really work well in Conjuction with another program or Programs
Milk & Beer & Whisky , just don't go all that good together,,,, excuse me, while I go throw up
