I just purchased AS2004.5 a few hours ago. Wanted to say thanks for an absolutely awesome product. I can not believe the visual difference in the FS9 visuals. My initial test run was this morning sitting at KGRK (Killeen TX regional airport), which is two miles from where I currently live. AS was on the money compared to looking out my window, complete overcast, rain, low vis, and all. For what it is worth, I want to let you know I heard about your product here on the AVSIM forums and it was your responses to my previous questions, your customer support in general, and

Hi Brad,Thanks for your purchase and your kind words!Yes, the defaults are still a good place to start. Then we suggest:Using FSW clouds from Chris.Lowering your cloud draw distance.Lowering your sight distance.Limit your cloud layers.Most users seem to be able to find a balance somewhere in there.Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004proudsupporter.jpg
