You my friend, need a beer... And a vacation.

Thanks, 3ra Luke.

Wow, someone got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. :-eek This is not an anti-FSX thread, and I don't see how anyone could perceive it as such. Also calling posters insulting names such as "tool" is not commendable behavior.This thread was simply about features that were present in FS9 but are missing in FSX. That's it. How one could arrive at the erroneous conclusion that the underlying purpose of this thread was to bash FSX and glorify FS9 is stupefying.I happen to like FSX, quite a bit in fact. However, I, as many other simmers, feel that some great features present in FS9 were eliminated in FSX and would simply like to express that. Maybe in the hopes that ACES will consider reintroducing them later. It's an exchange of ideas occurring here, giving ACES some feedback on what we would very much like to see incorporated again into FSX. That's all it is, nothing more and nothing less. ;-)

Yeah I probably did overreact but the post wasn't in reference to the OP but to the member having a go at L Adamson, which I really thought was out of line.Apologies for severity of post. Will amend.Update: tried to amend but the editing period had expired. Oh well...James

I really miss the "fixed" spot view, where the view didn't turn with the plane. And where I could adjust the distance from the airplane from the menu, without that stupid zoom thingy.Another thing I miss is that every default plane worked; the lights and the brakes wasn't set to 100%. The brakes are easy to fix though.

All my add-ons.

Missed this thread originally, but since it has recently been revived, and I have just started flying FSX, here are the items which 'jump out' at me:1) FSNav2) EditVoicePack for voice acceleration3) My Reality GPS units4) The way the old FS9 log worked. I really do not like how the log file is handled in FSX.5) Ultimate Terrain for Canada/Alaska/Europe6) The use with TrackIR in FS9. With the FSX camera inclusions, especially within the VC, FSX has really upset the ease of use, and vantage points within the VC with TrackIR. Frustrating to find a good setting.I can handle the lower frame rates, as FSX is so much smoother overall.

I'm fine with FSX itself. The only thing I might miss is some addons that might not make the transition.

all the complaints about how FS8 ran better, faster FPS, and had all the addons ..but then when FS8 came out the issue was the same as people wished for FS7 as it has all the addons, ran faster ...... the circle of life: just change release number and keep the complaints the same.--

>2) EditVoicePack for voice accelerationThere's no need to miss that! There is an FSX version (beta) available that has been working just fine for me for the past few months... ;)

>2) EditVoicePack for voice accelerationWe have that for FSX.
