Hi Guys

Been flying this all day.

4 chippies at once including my hand flown one and still reasonable frames.
new 3d gauges make a big difference to smoothness and allow more models at once. :smile:

Made Thorney Is AF2 to fit the FSX Horizon Generation X scenery & 3 chipmunks doing their stuff.

Won't be flying FS9 much again (still making models to work in it though) :wink:

Regards
Rick

Screenie is too big will sort out in the morning. :doh:

so you say you don't have a dream system rick? if so my hopes of FSX (and that scenery package) are still true - now dash them for me :P

Hi Hinch

No it's midrange or lower & no rocketship
but Runs FS9 all sliders maxed at 40 to 60 fps

3.0 ghz P4
ASUS P4P800E-Deluxe
2 gb DDR400
ATI X800 pro

on the uk photo scenery 1 meter with 5 meter mesh
autogen on normal but only the odd bit i get 20 to 50 fps.
20 fps in fsx looks like 30 fps in fs9 to me.

traffic is all set to 25% including cars & ships etc.

it's fun to watch the traffic on the M27 as i turn onto finals for some T&G's
at Thorney Island.

Regards
Rick

That looks awesome. Tbh the only thing I really like about FSX is the new reflections and night sky textures.

Thats a great shot, does FSX permit clouds to cast shadows on the ground?
