Hi, go here http://forums.avsim.com/dcboard.phpThanksChris Willis[link:fsw.simflight.com/FSWMenuFsSim.html]Clouds And Addons For MsFs

Go where, Chris? I believe you meant Hornit's review, but my firewall has blocked it...

Great shots, thanks for the link, Thad!Only disappointment for me: aircrafts and as it seems also buildings still cast sharp shadows during heavy snowfall and heavy rain (and I guess also when the sky is overcast). Yes, I know this can happean in reality, very rarely though!I do not understand, why MS is not able to solve this problem. This can't be too difficult.Wolfgang

Hi, John :-lol yes the Hornit's review, but you have read the spec system and performance" but my firewall has blocked it"It is at your home or works ?ThanksChris Willis[link:fsw.simflight.com/FSWMenuFsSim.html]Clouds And Addons For MsFs

Neither...I travel often, and plug my laptop in to my host's network. Most have firewalls in place....Does Hornit's review include some screenshots, btw? I'm anxious to see the detail level used to maintain such fps...-John

Hi Bruce, I'm going to pass on your comments to JD if it's ok. ;-) We're still beta testing ver 3.1 that has AI awareness. Might be able to sneak this request in. :-) Redding isn't starting to warm up......it's hot already!!! sheeesh As usual Spring turns into Summer over one weekend around here. But, the scenery at Lake Shasta has improved with the weather. lolBest, Rob
