Wow. I had a feeling it might be involved but this is really involved. :-) I was just curious as it looks just like the real thing I'm running here except, as I said earlier, the side bar and gadgets are different.It looks superb though. Now if someone can package all that in one installer that would be really something.

>No way...that's Vista...not XPSorry Ryan, but it's Windows XP skinned to look like Vista.If you have any RC version of Vista, you'll know the System Properties & Clock are not as such.Here's my #2 PC with the AeroGlass Smoke Theme:http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/163632.jpg

Thanks for all of the replys, I am building a gaming system and have about $2000 for the budget, I have the monitor, keyboard and mouse already and am getting the case and power supply for christmas, so the budget goes t the rest. I guess I will stick with XP and only go to XPpro if it has something that is needed for gaming. Nothing else will run on this system.

Thats the onewhere the Morman Tabernacle Choir will be singing"Nearer my God to thee" as you take off. Virtual peoplewill be waving goodbye, and if you dont close the doorthe birdies will fly out of the screen and peck yournose right off. You should be able to manage 29 fpswith the sliders half way.On the down side. They still will be using the sameabsolutely horrible auto pilot/auto throttle that they'vebeen using since FS5. There still wont be an FMC for theheavy jets and theyll still handle like a single enginedstunt plane. But you cant have everything.:D :D :D
