I think you should post a comment on the product page at simmarket as part of your review of the product.No developer, wants bad reviews on their product page and if they then try to help you out ,update your review. :(

I also, have that bird. It took about a week before they did respond to one of my e-mails about a month ago.Don't get down on payware .Just because one company has troubles doesn't mean they all are bad.I have had many good responses from several developers big and small.After all, they are people just like you with problems too. :(

I own the i7 980x with all the bells and ,blah,blah ,you know what I mean. Ok, my point is fsx does run nice in default areas and in some payware that is very unpopulated @ max settings.It just bloggles my mind when I see these fsx screenshots with no shadows and other features shut off.Or on youtube ,fsx videos that have to be made by slowing down the sim rate just to display a descent frame rate to make a sim video look smooth.On the other hand Great addons for fs9 that are still being released to this date that run at a realistic frame rate on most systems . Like you I can not give up on so many addons for fs2004 that I have spent my money on .Everytime, when I have reinstall FSX it ends up removed from my system days later.I have so many addon on airports for fs9 it would take months just to make a round trip to them all.Fs9 will probably always have a place on my hard drive.By the way check out avsimrus.com for some excellent free fs2004 addon airports. :(

I am very mpressed ! This aircraft has little effect on frames .What a great release . :( :( :(

I respect them for not just taking our money and running .I hope it all works out for all of us. :(

GREAT NEWS!!! I mean the Best news I have heard all day :( Just give me the pay now button :(

:( iFLY gets my vote and I own both....

Depends, :( Do you mean reflection as maybe the "envmap" file is producing this effect?If so, try another Environment Mapping Texture for Aircraft Reflection file!

I own other sims but only use fs9 on my system. Far from dead to me .Thanks for posting the great news! :(

:( Thanks for all the replies Guys!Well, I have the i7 980x overclocked @3.9 Ghz with 6 gbs ddr3 ram on a windows 7 64 bit system os on a SSD hard drive. When I posted this topic my thoughts were thinking maybe I had the wrong cpu for fs9 from my bad experience with current system. Just yesterday, I found out two reasons why I had such low frame rates.What I did was install fs2004 from the cd then preformed the first start up then restarted my system then ran the update 9.1 from my desktop.In the past, I use to install fs2004 then before restarting the system running the update.In the past the update said it did install. I don't know if this was a real reason but, now my system runs so much more smooth.Also, I plan on backing up everything, so if I ever install something that slows the sim down I can pin point the issue.Now my sim is very smooth and such a joy to use. It is like having a new sim.Also,as others mendtioned fs2004 does not take advantage of new GPU's features.Which by accident I found out by testing 3d settings.Currently ,I own the ATI 6870 1gb card.Before, I use to set all the settings to max in the control panel .Although, this is another reason my system slowed down.Working a card harder when something is not even taking advantage of the power.After testing with lower settings I get better frame rates with the same image quality as setting everything to max.Now I have Anti-Aliasing set to 8x with filter set to standard, before 24x samples with filter set to edge-detectAnisotropic Filtering set to 16xCatalyst A.I set to Quality before is was set to high Quality with enable surface format optimization cheked.Wait for vertical refresh set to 3/4 Quality before 100%Anti-Aliasing mode set 100%Open GL settingschecked to enableI was using windows xp 32 bit before now I notice even when opening textures or scenery folders things appear faster.There are so many factors that make a sim run well but one thing is for sure when you get that baby working right its like a whole new experience .So when ever you do get your system going right back up everything so when problems start to occur you will not be scratching your head. :(

So you are saying the i7 980x then? If money was not the issue...

This sim has been around for years and still to this day, do not know this answer maybe.IS it single core,dual core or whatever the cpu does anybody know?Please, anybody with AMD or intel even if you don't know the correct answer please share your knowledge about your own experience with the sim. Please give information on your current CPU.Please do not answer with comments like "I get 200 frames per second when looking at just the sky in a default sim setup". I want to know what is the best cpu for a maxed out(with all quality addons being used) fs9 set up.Example= FSDT KDFW will 100% traffic.It is so hard to find good information on what works for this sim. I hope this topic will help myself and many others out there that are ready to buy ,build or who are just wondering what is the truth.Thanks in adavnce! :(

180 frames per second ? Wow that is amazing ! Is that default fs9 (everything) or what?

I was looking around their web page "AI Optimizer support" area and the only topic was welcome.Has anybody here used this product yet?Since most WOAI freeware files used low lod, maybe this product would not help out much? Any clues anyone?

I agree totally with this statement.I had the newest nvidia 580 and sent it back .Then I bought the cheaper ati 6870 and started smiling again.Atleast for fs2004 it was better I don't even have fsx(system hog) on my hard drive.

Get this you can't beat the hardware/price.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834214160

My mistake you are correct sorry about that answer .In that case ,yes Wilco pub.

Ifly 737, is my choice hands, feet, whatever, down. :(

Snap shot v4 it's free and works wonderfully!You can find it here at avsim. :(

The textures might not be the same in placement due to landclass.So it depends on what landclass the developer used when he took the shots.In the product it does not state land class added so that will have a different effect on each system sim.The textures do look nice. As for the roads I am pretty sure there is a file or files that could be removed from the default sim to get rid of that unrealistic look.

I also wanted that bird and like the first post stated it is no where to be found... :(

This will run fsx and fs9 pretty well .Also,it is the best bang for your buck right now as far as laptops go. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834214052

It is a shame when someone wants to help others out and some people have nothing better to do then complain.... :( Thanks for the comments to all the other gentlemen. :(

I tested it with AVG anti virus no problems at all.

Hi guys,I did some research and found this little freeware program at tomshardware that you can use to set fs9 exe. or any other programs affinity. Maybe, some tech head, can give some feed back on what the best setting for fs9 or maybe other tips for getting the most out of todays hardware.The link @ tomshardware was dead ,so I found another link for the download. ----> http://www.xdowns.com/soft/download.asp?softid=19069I have tested it on win7 64 bit and xp pro 32 bit both worked fine.
