FS9 for me!! Having been away for awhile, I finally got the balls to build my own system. FS9 now performs the way I've always dreamed & still looks great. Like Ed said, FSX looks to cartoonish to me. RegardsAdam

Staffan,exactly the same for me. Installed FSX when I purchased PMDGMD11 and absolutely love to take the airplane out for a spin. However, once the FS9 version is released FSX will be untouched again (although this time I suppose still on the hard disc).

I have many FSX screenshots that look photo-real, and the same with FS9. Examples are MegaScenery Hawaii for FSX, and FlightScenery Portland for FS9. Both are excellent products and really add to the immersion factor.L.Adamson

I think you should run both if you can. I have spent several evenings lately enjoying FS9 as well as some flights in FSX. I prefer the higher FPS of FS9 and I still get fairly comparable graphics. OK, I like FSX's graphics better, but smooth wins much of the time. The ATR keeps me pretty busy and I hate low-FPS approaches.Dolph

>regards>>EdMe too - but also would like to have breaking distances affected by rain/snow/ice etc. I believe this is simulated within the PT TU154m - as I do get into a little trouble sometimes on wet days ;-) - but don't know why I don't hear other people asking for this.

Over 10 years here and AVSIM is still my favourite FS site :-)

For example I can treat the engine in any way without problem. And the plane just suddenly crash in case of overspeed.
