Hi Peter,

Never even considered going to Armenia before. Think that will change with quality freeware such as this on offer.

Thanks for the heads up. :)

That looks great scenery Peter. I've paid for poorer scenery than that so hats off to the team who produced it ;)

Dave,

It might be a team, but from what I've read it might be just one man!! It is a superbly built airport and it has an auto-installer it is absolutely worth downloading it and installing, even if just to sit there at dusk and watch the strobes and the sweeping searchlight beam. The lighting of the concrete is also pretty wonderful and probably unique.

BTW...those shots are all taken with Nvidia driver 260.89 which I strongly recommend.

Tks for that Peter ;)

I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place with my current card.. an nvidia8800GTX 768mb. While it goes like stink, I can't get FS9 to AA with any great degree of success. For FSX, it's great which for me is about as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike :( NVTools (or whatever it's called) and a number of other utilities have been tried but the end result is pretty much the same.. AA remains poor in FS9 and bang-on in FSX. Never mind ;)

I always found that I had to have the AA box ticked in the FS9 menu even with the driver override option enabled. That was on a 9800GTX but is basically the same card. FS9 never liked 16x aa for me as the menu was black where the aeroplane preview should have been :lol:


Addendum. I've just wired a cigarette lighter socket on my bike :lol:

Hi Mark..
Yes, that's how the 8800GTX works for me :( Pity my 6800GTS hasn't got a few more horses or I'd swap it over :|

6800... going back a few years there. Brings back a lot of fond memories :) . I had a GT version back in '04 but I flashed it with an Ultra BIOS to give it more juice and as a result it overclocked to high heaven :lol: . It was THE daddy when previously the best cards at the time was the old faithful Radeon 9800. I had an Athlon XP running at 2200mhz! :lol:
