Cool shots, but...who needs moving elephants in a flight sim?
(Just the opinion of an heavy iron pilot)

Those who play with FSX, it seems.

I can understand where you're coming from but sometimes you just want to go low-level VFR (for me I go low-level VFR in a 737 ;D) and its nice to have extras like that.  ;)

Nice! - regarding your compression problems.... the first pic I checked had only 25 kb - but as you posted 6 pictures, each could have about 80 kb...- you have a 500kb limit. If you'd tuned them to each be as close to 80 as possible, they would almost certainly be clearer. ;)

Me! Go easy on me, I'm only 34..... Many freeware and payware add-ons feature birds, killer whales and the like as well as moving traffic near airports for the low-and-slow pilots who dislike the lifeless sterility of the sim. Microsoft quite rightly concluded that many people would like such things as default. They also seem to have improved many other things (and messed some other things up ::))

Uh... krigl... its not on a slider. I have NO idea as to what controls it. I think it might have something to do with the "advanced animations" checkbox.

As in the demo, AI aircraft, airport traffic, road traffic and water/sea traffic are all controlled by separate sliders, so you 'purists' can turn any or all of them off and go back to beating yourselves with birch twigs and wearing very itchy underpants.

Same goes for wildife - they are switched on and off by advanced animations.

That or don't buy FSX at all. Doing so not only you'll save the little money of the sim, but you'll not have to fork the not little money you'll need to upgrade your rig up to the standard the shoddy coding of the new sim imposes.
