Only the FS9 version - but with its VC as you've never seen it before.

Can't say the same about the exterior. Changed the main textures to DXT5 but they're still cr*p - and if you look closely, they're transparent. That's why I think a lot of 'old' FS9 stuff won't be compatible with FSX

Yeah, in the readme they say also something about a similar issue, with the fences of the airport.

Very nice screens by the way :) I have a question now: It was said several times, about VCs in FSX, that the gauges are now very neat and fluid... are those improvements also visible on the FS9 aircrafts ? I don't remember about the Bell, if its gauges were fluid or not, but could you test with another aircraft whose gauges were NOT fluid in FS9 ?

I think fully clickable VCs are going to be a BIG feature in FSX, if not the biggest because although water and traffic are nice, they don't enhance the flying experience of the sim (but before the ex-pat comes down here and kicks my backside for being negative, they do considerably enhance the general experience, of course). Mind you, Gary Summons has had excellent traffic (better than you see in this FSX demo) in his sceneries for some time. Just take a look at his Gatwick and be amazed.

Not bad at all. For the transparent textures check out Wozza's tip. http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=screen;action=display;num=1155323041
It works for me. 8) ;)
