Most passengers don't give a hoot about flying! Most would be pilots like window seats. As for me, I fly a piper warrior in RW and to me the view is the main thing! Besides night flying is so beautiful at low altitute in a light GA aircraft!

No doubt you work for ACES, given your level of insight.The reality is you have NO IDEA how FSX will perform. If it continues the trend FS8 and FS9 have then it will perform very well.Also you show your ignorance by saying "eye candy this, eye candy that". Why is it that I know a lot more about the sim than what the screenies show? I've been reading about it and am informed, and I can therefore abstain from looking like an idiot.James

It all depends of what you want to do with FS... A few years back I've flown the PSS Airbus for a few months and looked at NOTHING but a dull grey cockpit... and I loved it! After that I flew other biggies from PMDG and Level-D. I almost never ever left the cockpit. I couldn't care less about ground detail and textures.Last year I stopped flying the heavies and I've been flying the DF Beech A36 ever since then. Since my change (and also after buying Active Camera) I'm constantly looking outside. After that I bought some add-ons to make things more realistic outside... So I do really love all the new eye candy! (I will even buy a Vista/DX10 computer as soon as that one is available.) So... it all depends on what you want to do with FS. ;)

>There is nothing wrong at all with the scale.ya, good one...I should not have noticed that the top of the truck cab in the foreground in the FSX shot is at the pax window level in the foreground airliner.that matches beautifully with the next real life pic down which shows that the top of the truck cab barely hit at mid engine nacelle.... how oh how could I have seen that, thanks for setting me straight.

Yawn!I'll say it again - there is nothing wrong at all with the scale.http://www.geocities.com/ronliz.geo/SW3.jpghttp://www.takingflight.us/gallery/albums/...02/DSCF0235.JPGGet over it.

I see an airliner and I see a truck but as the two are not together how can you tell that the truck is at window height?
