You know... Freeware here in the download section is a treasure chest.I came across Princess Juliana. thanks to some recent posts here I went and got it. and I love it. http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?DLID=...hor=&CatID=rootSimply fantastic.And then I came across this payware for this airport too.http://secure.simmarket.com/product_info.p...roducts_id=1106I can't believe that they would charge $20 for this crap (look at those screen shots of default buildings and default runways) while you have such a great freeware.One more ..Customer beware thing.

Deblond Chrsitian's TNCM is amazing but is VERY fps heavy.Have you seen his other stuff? It's also amazing and some of it is really good on the frames.

I think you are being a bit harse Manny, the FSB version of Juliana came out awhile back, before the freeware version. I have a few of their sceneries and they are not bad at all and they have done most of the caribbean. For a few dollars more you can get the pack that the Juliana scenery is in which includes 3-4 more airports.While I enjoy Delblond Christian's sceneries, I find the Juliana scenery to hard on the frames for normal use.Will you say the same if another comes out with an even better version of Juliana?I do agree they are charging to much for it though.Regards, MichaelKDFWhttp://www.calvirair.com/mcpics/mcdcvabanner.jpgCalVirAir International

I'v fallen (and to continue to) for this many, many times. But, then again, you know what they say: A fool and his money are soon parted. ricardo

Gentlemen,Christian Delblond's scenery is very nice - it just requires a little effort on our part in order to make it easier on the frame rates.I have converted all textures to DXT1 and now get excellent peformance with all his work. Please see:http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...ing_type=searchIn fact, I convert all textures for all airplanes and scenery right after downloading them and before installing. My FS runs much better than most people's as a result, although admittedly this does require us to do some work.Best regards.Luis

This site is exceptional and a great help for me - saved me a LOT of money.http://walhalla.mine.nu/fs2004.php

Great site Reggie. Thanks.

Luis is right. The famous "Blurries" has been traced to exactly this. There are about gizillion forms of bmps and FS9 trying to load about 6 different kinds of bmps will keep some of the default textures from loading. We had some of this at Miami, Jacksonville, St. Petersburg, Sarasota and Tampa with the FREEflow Florida scenery. The "cure" was to convert all the textures that we were adding to a DXT format. This included all the AI aircraft and ships as well as the building textures.Joe W.http://home.comcast.net/~raptor67/Joe_W/Joe_sig.jpg
