No extras Nigel, just standard XP with times set accordingly to provide nice lighting.

I think we should all get together and campaign for Mrs HJ to let you have both. No point in having a new PC if you've hardly got anything to fly is there :lol: :welldone:

Going to have to tread gently on this forum Chris, you could end up being hand-bagged by the missus if she sees your post! :lol:

Only kidding.

Bought it, installed it and quite like it. I was a little concerned because Carenado aircraft have a reputation as frame rate killers. First impressions were that the FPS were fine, even with all those HD textures, so just to make sure I flew the same flight under the same conditions with both of my 340s.

To my surprise I got better frames with Carenado than with the LES one, which is NOT what I was expecting *-)

Systems wise it seems pretty good too, not quite as deep as LES, but deep enough for government work. It's only version 1.0 and the devs seem to be active on the support forums, so it will only get better.
