If anyone's been following my laments about graphics card and FS9, here's something interesting.

I think that proves your problem is with FS9 rather than your video card.

Haven't tried it enough to compare flight characteristics but the default scenery appears as good as FS9 payware.

Just bear in mind that this is the FSX Demo. It runs perfectly well on my low-end machine which I know full well wouldn't stand a chance with the full release version.

i was just about to say, its just the DEMO.  Not the WHOLE PACKAGE.  the whole package is a TERRIBLE resource hog! almost as bad as IE8!!!!!!  >:( >:(  Now I am thinking of scrapping my FSX Deluxe (bought) version and downloading the Demo Version just because I rarely ever fly FSX anyway, and when I do I wish it would look decent enough to where I could at least just see buildings at my airports and not just baren wasteland when it is supposed to be KSEA, KATL, BOS, JFK, LAX......... ugh... (sigh) :-/ :'(

I think the water in your bottom shot is gorgeous, older. I'm not one of those who has to have every add-on like clouds, water and grazing goats. I think they just slow down the computer and invite trouble...

If nothing else, I can fly around the Netherlands Antilles enjoying the water and such on this demo.
