I've had FSX since it came out and all the predecessors to it. Using Win7 Prof here with tons of add-ons collected over the years. Since I have fully implemented you DX10 Scenery Fixer, my frame rates at 50% better and my simulator has never looked so good nor ran so well. Thank you, Steve, for this wonderful experience.

can't miss another chance myself to thank SteveFX for doing the job of a thousand developers and bringing it all together in his NO.1 FSX TOOL. 

Thanks both

while we're at it, question for you, SteveFx :wink:
 
Is there anything worth experimenting with among these lines in FSX\ShadersHLSL\Common\Common.fxh?
