If that was in my direction: I wasn't negative at all. I only clarified how X-Plane compares to FS. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. But I gave reasons why I stay with FS. I havbe both, so I'm able to compare. And, I like to do people a favor by writing in the most objective manner I can what both products are. That's my right, as long as I don't be unfair or so.To give positive and negative opinions as well is the intention of message boards like this. That's a place where everyone can write seriously what he thinks about a certain thing, not a place for praise and completely biased comments.Be happy that we're able to express our thoughts freely!Andreas

Hmmm eventually worked out how to download the X-Plane demo (120kbps! wow I like Bittorent;)X-Plane = Smooth as Silk compared to FS2004. But there sadly the comparision ends. Got bored after 20 minutes and went back to my stuttering FS2004;)Adam
