Not sure if anyone has mentioned this but looks like Cloud 9 may have one of the first new payware scenery for FSX. Very impressive pics at http://www.fscloud9.com/php/products.php?lang=EN&id=159Carl

It has just been released today, fully Trial version, as usual.

Current setups can't even cope with default airport scenery. With that in mind, I guess this will be a hard sell.

Runs fine on my Core Duo between 16 and 20 fps average.Fortunately, since the scenery has a fully working Trial version, anyone can freely download it and try it for himself on HIS machine, without having to be mislead by comments of someone that apparently haven't even tried it firsthand.BTW, the new Addon Manager have some easy to use sliders to tweak some FSX.CFG settings, without having to fiddle with manual file editing, and this can be used for all FSX (not just KMCO), even if one eventually decide not to buy it.

Since they have a trail period. I'm going at lest try it before I say it can't be run.:) Why shoot something down even before you try it.Edit virtuali you beat me to that response.:)

Its a keeper Frame rate friendly. I get a 2 to 3 FPS over stock scenery plus its great looking. Lay out is perfect blends right in better looking buildings, grass and trees add a great touch. http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/161299.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/161301.jpgPlus with FSX real weather going on a small storm was brewing so you can tell it is super FPS FriendlyThe photos really are 2 small to do the scenery justice. You need to try it for yourself.

I have already tried Tropical Sim's Nassau for FSX, and it works great, it actually works better than it did in FS9. I will definitely go after Orlando. I bet it will be tops.Lee

Why should the scenery not perform well?Screenshot = 3 aircraft + default textures + custom buildings + no autogen + light weather. That's like yelling "HEY I'M NAKED!!!" My response would be: well, maybe it's because you've got no clothes on! :-lol

I own and really liked the Cloud9 F-104,Phantom and KLAX.But I really HATE their antipiracy software.Took me forever to work out problems with any of the above when I originally installed or reinstalled them.I recently reinstalled FS9 and after running into all the mess associated with reinstalling them, I gave up and just deleted FS9 for good.BYW-I installed the Orlando demo and when I started FSX, got SLAMMED HARD to desktop.Second try was the charm and I did notice a performance hit.Not bad but every little frame counts.

>BYW-I installed the Orlando demo and when I started FSX, got>SLAMMED HARD to desktop.This can happen if some of your Windows log files are corrupted, nothing really wrong, but sometimes, some logfiles in the windowscatroot2 folder are messed up, so the program has problem registering itself as trusted the first time it runs. Here's some background about this problem:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822798/en-usI don't reccommend, however, taking the above described steps if right now your only problem is a failure to run this module just the first time after installation. Those are only needed if the corruption of these files reach a point were you are no longer able to install ananything that use Windows Installer and encrypted files (like Windows Hotfixes).This doesn't have anything to do with the Addon Manager protection rather with the fact that now every FSX module ideally needs to be digitally signed, in order not to trigger the "unknown publisher" alert in Windows. The new Addon Manager is of course digitally signed but, due to a problem with those logs mentioned before, it might fail to run on some systems, just the first time.It's more a Windows annoyance than anything else, not strictly related to FSX or the Addon Manager.

I just purchased this package and I can say that it really out-does the default scenery - especially since it has jetways. Surrounding landscape is great also.As for "nakedness" - nope. In my system I have what one would call "max AI." Every jetway was occupied. Performance - not much different from the default.My recommendation - buy it, you'll like it.fbSystem:Intel 955 Extreme MOBOIntel 3.8GHz CPU4Gb Corsair DDR2 RAMNVidia 7800GTX graphics card - 512MbLiquid cooling by Thermaltake2 250Gb HDD in RAID 1 configOh, and a partridge in a pear tree. :-)

I'm a little biased, but even I was surprised when I first installed it. I really like it.Bart BartholomayDeacontg272
