Hi,First let me sy that I'm a long time simmer and a bit of a minimalist. Over the years, I've been very selective in my choice of addons in order to achieve the best performance I can out the PC that's in use at the time. I'm very happy with what I have currently running and here's my list of addons:Aircraft:Aeroworx B200Dreamfleet B58PSS 777LRWeather:FEFSMeteoMisc:Squawkbox 3FSAutostartI'm now looking into purchasing some scenery enhancements, particularily GE or GE Pro to improve the overall ground environment, but I'm not sure as to which would be the most appropriate. Cost is not a factor, but performance is. In lieu of the fact that FSX will be coming out sooner than later, should I be considering GE or GE Pro at this point? Should go with just GE, splurge for GE Pro, or just wait?Thanks in adavance,Lawrie

If it improved textures that you're after you could try the free demo seasons from other products like:FScene (South America Summer)http://www.fscene.com/BirdsEyeView also had a free trail but I see its gone nowhttp://www.flightsim-bevs.comYou could also try the freeware Vista Australis http://vistaoz.org/about.htmlWhen you are sure you realy want a texture add-on I would probably go for GE. I never understood the complicated interface you see in GE Pro (judging from the review/tutorial screens I never bought the product).
