So you guys get the picture, I snagged these with my old A8V 939 and an x800xt card.. the system is overclocked and there are stutters with these settings but it does pretty good...

I will post more here as I get time

That water looks great

Nice water indeed, a reflection too, cool... I presume it will look better in game...and on an optimised machine....

I don't know... the tropical sun light is quite well rendered there, I think...

What's all this I hear about Service pack 2 being in place before FSX will work... ... ...!

Does that mean that for all those, like me, who still are quite happy with SP1, will not be able to purchase FSX... ...!

...and I really dont want, or need, Microsoft to keep poking me in the ribs to download yet another massive up-date file on my 56k Dial-Up Modem... ...!

So......

Is SP2 REALLY NECESSARY/ESSENTIAL FOR FSX TO RUN... ...?

Paul....OEM Win XP Pro. SP1.... ...!
