[quote]As of last night, my FS9 found its way into the digital Nirvana.
After assembling, testing and uploading the last, final version of my 737 panel, I decided to move on entirely and kick my FS9 off the disk - after having saved some add-ons on disk first. You may never know...
So, FS9, you've been a good boy. Tons of fun, hours of tweaking, always on ther verge of perfection, but never 100% of what I wanted. But you did your job. You did it well, and since I got my new PC, you did it fast. Lots of freeware delighted my flying experience. With you, I learned to hate 2D panels and sparse autogen and you were the base for Ultimate Terrain, which shifted the feeling of "being there" into incredible regions.
Sure, you had your drawbacks, especially in terms of terrain detail, but for the time you've been released in, you were the benchmark for a good looking civilian flight sim.
But it's time to move on after all. Your younger brother simply has the looks and the challenges I need from a modern flight simulator.
Let me be a pioneer in this world of rejection, even if this meant killing you to save you from the sorrow of waytching me use something else.
Forgive me, FS9 and dust away in peace.
