October 20, 200619 yr After I pushed back from the gate and was ready to taxi I noted a pickup truck off to the left backing up...and the brake lights came on when it stopped! They went out, and the truck drove off.Pretty cool, but frankly I'll mostly be flying FS9 for awhile. Too many scenery steps backward for me. At least I got in on the Circuit City deal and payed 50 bucks for the deluxe version. At $70 I think I'd be kinda irritated! Robert Best Regards,Robert Kerr 3D Modeler & Texture Artist
