The question has already been posted, and the answer as well: the result is nothing like FSX. Some users on other forums were dissapointed.

I am but 1 person.  while it did DRASTICALLY change the height of mountain peaks, and depths of valleys. It also changes weather, some effects to include Contrails (which look like junk smoke making the plane look as though it is on fire just without the flames), new cloud textures, resize the sun and moon, reshape the shorelines.   Overall i would say that it DOES make the scenery much much better, but the biggest downfall on my computer, is the Framerates.  I can NOT fly in 3-8 FPS!!!!

to uninstall it, you have to go through disks 3 and 4 and recollect all scenery files.  Disk 2 - for Weather and Uires, Disk 1 for Effects and then put them back into your FS9 folder.   ............. for all the trouble, may as well RE-INSTALL  >:(

if you do decide to download and install it...... 1) make sure you install it to a TEMP folder outside of FSim.

2) BACK UP the folders that it wants to change (so that you dont have to go through the disks to FIX it back to the way it was) {which i did not do ... me = dummy}
