One man's poor is another man's fantastic!

Strange but true--you get the full gamut of reactions to FS9. I am truly amazed at how fantastic the version runs on my machine. I am running the dreaded Radeon 9700 Pro, which has never caused me the slightest grief, on the dreaded Granite Bay board with alledged AGP8x troubles (it runs fine always on AGP8x on my machine), and FS9 is just plain solid and smooth *almost* wherever--big and little airports, weather, maxed autogen, 38m mesh, the whole shot. M$ must have done all their work on a machine just like this one as it is just plain great. Don't like the ugly water reflections at times, and I can't wait till night lighting is improved, but otherwise I am extremely happy with this release. Aircraft are so much nicer to handle. It's running the Eaglesoft 400A just great too. I think I have stumbled on to the perfect tweaks for this particular setup.Good luck out there!Noel

I have one question for you, do you have the menu flashing like us 9800 users, and do your views take a long time to load...like over a second. Im curious,seems this is an issue with my card. long load times for the 2D pits and the views.Hornit
