Having only just installed FS2004, I was initially a little dissappointed with it -- but am now seeing some good in it. I really don't like the water though -- it looks horrible compared to the water reflections that I got in FS2002.I see that Bill lyons has put out 3 updates -- but in at least one of them he says that it is only for DirectX 9 compliant cards. I believe that a Geforce 4 TI4200 is not a Directx9 card -- so could anybody tell me if it is worth downloading these environment updates at all.Thanks Barry
