Terrifc shots - thanks for sharing.

Very atmospheric and action packed shots!

Terrific! Very funny!

Very well done! The frame rates are impressive - must be a great graphics card ;-) Serioulsy, very atmospheric landing shot at dusk!

Gorgeous shots - just like real life. Thanks for Posting!

Great feedback Tom, thanks!

Thanks. I agree - a more powerful PC would help Flight. I get it - no argument there. But, it's still puzzling to me that Flight runs so poorly when all it's settings are stripped down (compared to FSX).Jerry G.

I've been away from FS9 and FSX for several years. I downloaded and played with Flight. It's fun for what it is. I've read most of the posts here as well as the Flight FaceBook page - so I'll not go into the pros/cons of Flight.What I found very strange though, is that for some reason, Flight performs worse on my PC compared to FSX. I have a fairly old system:Dell Dimension 8400, Pentium 4 (3.4GHZ), 3GB RAMNvidia GeForce 6800 - 256MB Graphics.I've not really "tuned" FSX much (no special scenery, not many changes to the .cfg file, etc.). I'll spare you all the detailed settings, but here's what I have:FSXGlobal Textures - Very High, Lens Flare and Advanced Animations OnAircraft - 3D Virtual Cockpit and other settings set to HighScenery - most options set from Medium to High (I know there are specific values, but I'm not listing them here - just giving you the general data). Scenary Complexity set the Extremely Dense and Autogen is Normal.Traffic - most sliders at 25%FlightAll Medium except for Shadow Quality set to Low (anything higher causes stuttering)As you can see, with my PC, I can't run most sliders to max in FSX.But, comparing the smoothness (I don't have any 3rd party FPS S/W to guage Flight's FPS), while I get a consistent 25-30FPS (on average) in FSX, I don't see the same level of graphics in Flight for the comparable smoothness. Also, it looks like the anti-aliasing in FSX is much better compared to Flight. Granted, the stock Kona aiport in both FSX and Flight is dull, but I get a better looking sim in FSX than Flight (autogen helps!). I did NOT expect this. I expected better scenary in Flight due to the small area provided and better performance.Now, I do realize these are different games with many different settings (graphics, scenery, AI, etc.), but with FSX having arguably much more data it's processing during the sim (AI, ATC, dynamic weather, Autogen, GPS, etc.) how can it perform better than Flight? I've read that Flight utilizes the graphics card much more than the CPU, but still, with all the factors above, Flight should look and perform better than FSX, but for me it doesn't.What are others seeing?Jerry G.

Thanks all!I actually decided to call Microsoft. They walked me though a re-download from the xbox.com site. We did need to manually extract and run Setup. He provided me a product key and I was all set.Still not happy that both the Flight (URL) and Xbox (URL) installers failed during the install.Jerry G.

After the downloading, I get this error -Failed to extract CAB C:\Documents and Settings\...\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\GFWLive\Downloads\4d5308d2e0000001.cab [Code:0x8007000d]I manually removed the C:\Documents and Settings\...\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\GFWLive folder. I did this so I could do a fresh install. Somehow, the Flight installer still thinks that folder exists and since it can't find the .cab file - it just fails. How do I tell Flight it's not installed? What's the Registry entry?Any clues?

Thanks for sharing!

Some well composed shots - thanks for sharing!
