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....

The textures and colors tend to be too bright in FSX... makes it look a bit cartoonish for my taste

I don't know... the tropical sun light is quite well rendered there, I think...
Anyway, no doubt some addons like FS Sky Wolrd will offer some additionnal day/dawn/dusk light, just like for FS9

That's what I like to see...
Some sensible shots taken at ground level or near ground level, instead of daft shots taken at 50,000 feet AGL in a clear blue sky where amazing ground textures are a totally wasted... ...!

What we need are some low-level Bush Pilots showing off a few pics......!

By the way....
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... ...!

SP2 often creates more problems than it cures, particularly during Multiplayer flights...!

...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.... ...!

Yes... and count on it that most recent games will need SP2

...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... ...!

Then order the CD...

People say that about FS9... and it's true And I like it like that  :D

Not real, hyperreal...better than life. Maybe.....
