Is that "can't run" as in "can't get playable framrates?" If so, nice to see I'm not alone ;D

Liking the shots James, very cool 8)

You got it. :)

Aye. :)

That would be one of Mr. Lyon's wonderful creations. Scenery included. ;) Payware turned freeware. Can't beat it! :) Do a search for cub4free.zip at avsim. :)

Oh thanks for the nice words, everyone :)

Nice shots, by the way James, I don't think any of us can get playable FPS at max/near max settings. ;)

Same here. :(

I can scarcely get decent frames in FS9, I'm not even gonna try to mess with FSX.

As for the shots, I like them a lot, especially #3.

Great shots there! I did an FS9 hop from London to Madeira today and reminded myself how great FS9 can look. (This was at FL360 of course!)

Must get that Cub + scenery - looks great.

We should all form our own little group of "people who can't run FSX so are enjoying FS9 in the meantime"  ;D

I was flying in hawaii again today, it was bootiful.  Oh, and go to the studio V to see an amzing screenshot I took in FS9

I add my sad voice to the mournful choir.
There's but one real cure for human stupidity. It's called DEATH.

At the moment mourning the assassination of sarcasm and irony for the good of the "higher".
