"What you see on these forums and similar forums is a small percentage of the overall FS market."I see the same 3-5 people posting on every thread, starting new threadsand ripping away. Then add in the problem posts that got fixed and addin the problem posts that got fixed and the poster never returned to saysay he was fixed. Plus the ever popular, "I sure am glad I didn't buyFSX" posters. "Acceleration provides some performance improvement - not substantial or earth shattering - but noticable."The graphics, on MY system, are now just plain outstanding."That is my experience. Many will discount it. Tough I really don't care about the FS9 Only mindset any more."For awhile, the FS9 ludites went away after it was announced FSX was the best selling FS Microsoft ever launched. Now they are back.I see a lot of rips that should read, (but don't) "I paid too much foran 88XX video card and DX10 didn't make it seem any cheaper."

>For awhile, the FS9 ludites went away after it was announced>FSX was the >best selling FS Microsoft ever launched. Now they are back.I enjoy flying in FSX with reduced capabilities. However, I disagree there is linkage between "best selling ever" and user satisfaction and expectations. At least give the marketing department some credit. :) Bob...
