January 30, 200917 yr Thanks for the heads up! I had a look at the product page (http://www.aerosoft.com/cgi-local/re/iboshop.cgi?showd,,10812) and it looks good. My only gripe is the parks, really. Almost no 3D trees, just textures. Other than that it does look like Manhattan with 1000's of buildings.Looking forward to a review of this! :( /Jonas ----------------------------------------------------- i7 920 @ 3.6 GHz; 6Gb DDR3; Windows 7 Ultimate x64; Sim disk=300Gb 10,000rpm (VelociRaptor); OS disk=300Gb 7,200rpm Radeon HD 4870 X2; Audigy 2 ZS; Dual monitors=24" Dell Widescreen (TFT) & 19" BenQ (TFT) FSX Acceleration

I'm interested to see how it holds up now with FSX.

My GPU is a Sapphire HD4870X2 and the HD is a WD Raptor, but other than that it exaclty the same!Well, looking forward to see how the "X" version performs.Cheers/Jonas ----------------------------------------------------- i7 920 @ 3.6 GHz; 6Gb DDR3; Windows 7 Ultimate x64; Sim disk=300Gb 10,000rpm (VelociRaptor); OS disk=300Gb 7,200rpm Radeon HD 4870 X2; Audigy 2 ZS; Dual monitors=24" Dell Widescreen (TFT) & 19" BenQ (TFT) FSX Acceleration

However, they show specific settings in the manual and recommended system specs. Do not purchase with a system less than what they recommend and I would highly recommend you set the configuration settings exactly as they have in the manual and name the configuration "Manhattan". I now get around 22 FPS with my Dell XPS720H2C (Duo core X6800 CPU) but, with my normal configuration settings I had been using, it brought my system down to its knees and barely got above 5 FPS. I can't believe all the buildings rendered in this latest version!Best regards,Jim
