Wow, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed Zach. There was no FSX V FS9 comparison, there was mention that there is no comparison of AES and GSX for FS9 as GSX is not available for FS9, how is that BS comparisons???There were no smart Alec comments and if you are so irritated then don't post here anymore! I on the other hand was genuinely confused by the GSX mentions related to uninstalling AES in FS9 and actually went to see if FSDT had released for FS9 and I missed it!So relax, get off your high horse and don't create an FS9 v FSX BS issue where there was none! The only poor attitude in here is yours right now and if you are so irritated by people "getting confused" maybe you need to take a step back from the forums for a while.The only person who got bent out of shape was you...

-----------------------------------------------------Actually, it was I that made the first reference to GSX within this thread. I did not though, comment about it as though it was also a runner-up, and available for FS9. Rather, I was posting that because of the way GSX...RUNS...and how it handles 'services', I much better liked its approach, rather than the manual entry of data for .cfg files that AES requires. If AES ran the way that GSX (for FSX...) runs...then AES would have been purchased and retained. That was the only reference for GSX...just the way that particular program worked as 'run and forget'.Mitch

Yes Mitch, I understand you made the first reference but regardless Zach's post was not commensurate to the rest of the thread and IMHO was uncalled for...Now to your point.If you are going to use FS9 you have two options. AES or nothing. So comparing it to GSX is irrelevant as it will never exist in the FS9 world. NO BS FS9 v FSX comparisons there just apples-apples. So now that we can dismiss GSX entirely lets again look at FS9. Configuring an aircraft for AES takes all of 30 seconds. Not to mention most a/c already have intelliscene.cfg files available for download or some even come with the AES files included. So if you are really not willing to put the tiniest bit of effort into configuring the few aircraft that you fly to reap the benefits of AES then I don't know what else to tell you other than HUGE mistake... What separates AES is the very specific procedures at each gate at each airport. Those are all configured by the author Oliver so literally the only thing you have to do is download or configure the doors on your AC and you get all the benefits of AES.You are doing yourself a huge disservice again just MHO. I could understand dismissing AES because of the pricing model opposed to the fact it take the tiniest bit of effort LOL... I have not "Thought" about AES since the last new aircraft I bought for FS9 so to me it is run and forget...Just my .02I will not get into the AES V GSX debate as that horse has been beat to death in the FSX, FSDT and Aerosoft forums and as you can't use it in FS9 discussing it here is really pointless (again, just my humble opinion) I will comment on your decision to uninstall AES though, I personally think that is just silly :)
