thumbs up, microsoft!

:-)to put things in perspective--save for a pair of outdated memory sticks i have not bought a single piece of hardware in two years. i'm playing this on essentially the same machine i put together for fs9 back in 2004. dense autogen with five times the trees of the previous version (and may i say, much nicer trees). breathtaking water. sharp, detailed cockpits. life-like textures in one metre resolution... and baby-smooth frames in the thirties over nothern ontario woods and lakesthat water alone will never cease to inspire awe in yours truly--my video card is a 9500 for chrissake! :-lolsince my hardware remains the same, all this is the result of a software effort on the developers' part. again, thumbs up!ps. off to find that damned baby elephant now! :-lol
