I was interested to read Trev Morrison's message here a month ago that FS2004 will not use .BGL files, instead MS is building a whole new type of scenery altogether. I'm surprised to learn here that CFS3 apparently isn't so advanced. CFS3 or Strike Fighters (very little to do with missles, mainly gunnery)? Probably CFS for me because pretty much can use the same CH map for the flightcontrols. == WHK ==

I just was at the MS CFS3 Insider page, and anyone worrying about ground texture quality, snow on airfields etc needs to get over there quick! Ground texture is the best seen in any flight sim to date, especially at close range. Plus, being MS there will be masses of add-ons for all kinds of stuff.All from me Georgethetee
