Sould be out tomorrow at Flightsim store site.I have read the Manual (available as a "heads-up" D/L) and it will be great test for the i7/gtx 200 series rigs. 7cm photoscenery areas etc. Orbx state that things like AI should be set to 16%. Well worth a look at on the Orbx site.I am fortunate enough to have the i7 975 EX and a GTX285 2G OC combi and so far I can only reinforce the delight expressed in the posts started by Sesquashtoo on his experience with a similar combi.I would be interested to see the performances people who buy the product experience as it does appear to be a step beyond the current addons.My comments are purely based on reading the manual.

I own everything from Orbx and this will be my next addition. They are truly the best when it comes to scenery IMO. I look foward to this.

Interesting, I might have to pass on this now. While I crave that kind of detail (I run other phtosceneries at max res with no hit) and was looking forward to this, I wouldn't figure this texture resolution would make that much of a difference, or are there other factors that cause the hit?Looking forward to some feedback from those that pre ordered.

Nice let us know how it is when you get a chance.

My comment from the ORBX forums cut and pasted : For me so far everything seems great - I have horsepower though an I7 965 @ 4Ghz, Vista64 with 6GB. I did almost an hours worth of touch in goes in the Carenado Mooney (regular resolution not the ORBX one), I began looking for people walking or dogs running on some of the roads while on short final to 30R - nothing short of spectacular. I did have an odd BSOD about an interupt problem with one processor, but, I consider it a fluke at this point, I also started trying the D3D mod for bloom effects mentioned elsewhere here (meaning the ORBX forums) today.Joe
