The use of GE Pro for texture comparison is a fundamental contradiction in terms.GE PRO deliberately includes a GUI to alter the colour balance, contrsst and brightness of the installed textures, as well as the option to have the textures `matched` to the environment variables.It therefore has no place as a basis for an evaluation of relative merit, and I don't think any scenery developer worth his salt would use the GE Pro textures as a single example of what is `right` or `wrong`. At the very least, you need to include the colour balance, contrast and brightness settings alongside the screenshot. In the other hand, as a real pilot with a thousand hours looking down on real scenery, not your computer generated approximations, I can tell you that ALL of those are entirely accurate. So dont bother.Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Adjust the monitor, not the textures!Allcott

just a quick question: did you try unlimited FPS?

Geof,I think you may be wrong here. It's not a bug in FSX that the FPS counter is reporting a lower than actual FPS value.Rather, we've all been "tricked" for years now with FS9!That FPS counter was reporting HIGHER than actual FPS values ...Sorry - couldn't resist.JerryG

:-lol ! Maybe Aces can issue a quick patch that makes the fps show a constant 60-then everyone will be happy! :-)http://mywebpages.comcast.net/geofa/pages/rxp-pilot.jpg

Well Staffan-if you look at this thread-I have made no personal attacks-in fact I think you would be hard pressed to find that I ever do-I like to discuss based on facts and not get personal. In this thread I have been called a "a really excited user" (was that you or was it someone else-I lose track...) and it has been suggested that I might need a meeting with Freud among others...seems rather silly doesn't it...I agree with you. A famous philosopher said if you have to raise your voice to make a point you don't have much of one...I assume you don't consider the G1000 a system, or the new stec autopilot system improvements? Or did you know about them?http://mywebpages.comcast.net/geofa/pages/rxp-pilot.jpg
