hi All,does anyone know if Dan Downs is still doing the monthly US Sid_Stars update for the PMDG A/C? the latest version i can find in the library (FS2004 Flight Plans path) is cycle1007. thanks in advance for the info.happy flyin, Tim Wheeler

FS was short for Flight Simulator. reference to the "old" name. i'm assuming this was directed at me for it's use in 1 or more of my previous posts.and for the record, my comments about Flight was My opinion only. and i too am Well Aware that it's in early developement. i just don't share the same enthusiasm about it at this point as others do. happy flyin, FM

i'm sorry HughesMDflyer4 but "fighting game" or not has no bearing on what "Flight's" graphics Could look like. imho, that has more to do with the MS bean counters not allowing time for Flight to be rewritten from the ground up to take advantage of the processing power of todays modern CPU and GPU's. and, to me that's a little disappointing to say the least. imho, it should have happened with FSX. and, judging from the Flight screenies i've seen so far i don't think it's happened with Flight either. using the capabilities of todays CPU & GPU's to the fullest i believe Flight would Look a lot better and Perform a lot better than what will ever be possible with "Flight" as it appears now when it's released.also, this mumbo-jumbo about how performance is somehow being affected because Flight and the old FS series is "representing" the whole world is getting a little old to say the least. Flight/FS "Representing" the whole world - Yes. the "whole world being drawn" while making a flt. from "JFK to LAX" in Flight/FS - i don't think so. as bad as i hate to say it, i have yet to see anything in the Flight screen shots that even comes close to what i consider a Huge improvement over FSX...much less Ground-Breaking. also, i don't think nothing much is gonna change between now and release either. but that's just me.happy flyin, FM

very well said hisuleiman. couldn't of said it better myself.happy flyin, FM

finally, a new twist with the same end conclusion.(imho) just an honest opinion here folks.sorry MS. "I" see nothing so far from the "Flight" screenies to get overly excited about. not that much different than what we already have with FSX.give us "Flight" with double or triple the FSX performance With add-ons like the PMDG747X and i'll be impressed. unfortunately, i don't see that happening. because, my guess is that your still using that same Old, Slow, Out-dated, Archaic rendering engine with "Flight" that you've been using with the FS franchise pretty much from the beginning. and, If that's the case then that makes "Flight" that much more ho-hum for Me.happy flyin, FM

again, very well said Mike.happy flyin, FM

i Did Look. there was No Glancing. and to me, the Only "Major" improvement that I see is the Terrain Textures/Mesh. sorry, but My opinion still hasn't changed.happy flyin, FM

i know it's still early in developement. but the one thing that has always bugged me about FSX and previous versions is...look at the last screenshot(#4) from the Jan 2011 screenies. notice how much above the horizon the sun is and yet how dark looking the sky and terrain is. imho, toooooo dark for the sun to be that much above horizon. not very realistic looking to me. from what i've seen so far, i'd have to say that Flight appears to be nothing more than a refreshed FSX. nothing ground-breaking. i do like the better looking terrain textures. happy flyin, FM

hi Vic,are u using FS2Crew with the "FS2Crew" cold and dark panel state? if so, i would say that's your problem. same thing happened to me. i created a cold and dark panel state of my own to use with All the switches in the "FS2Crew" position. problem solved. the same thing happened with the FS9 versions. i reported it to PMDG and Bryan York(FS2Crew) but the problem is still there with the FSX versions.happy flyin, FM

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone. God Bless You All!!!!!happy flyin, Tim Wheeler

Ray,i got the prod. key and RCv4 is up and running now. got it about 0130 this a.m. local time. nearly 12 hrs. after the request was sent. many thanks for the help.happy flyin, FM

thanks for the response Ray. i'm running Win7-x64 and haven't had any probs. before. i'm using the correct format afaik - i used to get rather quick responses if the format was incorrect. haven't gotten one of those in quite awhile. sometimes in the past, it could take a few hours to get the prod. key. where is the "spam" folder that ur referring to? i'm using my ISP(Windstream) for e-mail. again thanks for the help.happy flyin, FM
