(which is good when you have to answer the phone or whatever) I have my off/on switch mapped to my hotas so when I'm on a long haul I can just turn it off and lean back in the chair, then turn it on again when it is time to land etc.No stiff necks here ;-)

Track IR3 you have to buy the addon to it to enable the 6DOF if I recall correctly.

On the My computer menu or explorer select 'tools' then 'folder options' then the view tab and make sure 'show hidden files and folders' radial button is selected.

Your post sole pupose is nothing but rabble rousing and angry mob stirring...absolutely pointlessYou obviously have a thing with avsim, why don't you email Tom directly since that appears to be where all your energy in this email is focused.

>Great! Having real objective data will help validate those>vague claims.If the bits are the same for the 2nd Demo as the retail version; then I can't seem to see why everyone's fps have tanked on the retail. I think maybe folks should stop adding all the stuff from fs9 and just try and enjoy the sim as is default settings.Also try the the Autogen tweak that PC12 posted.No I'm not a a really excited user per say; but I can appreciate what has been put into FSX. I will still fly FS9; and when the 17th gets here I'll buy the Deluxe version of FSX to fly along side.

>By the way, in case you missed it, you can save out config>settings to a file and then just post/send the file, rather>than post the contents. That's one of the reasons we added>this feature. Like I said before TD, if we would just take the time to explore FSX we would discover all of the jewels you guys have put into FSX. Believe me FSX is a significant change other than just graphical from fS9, but alas some can't see the forest for the trees; or is it see the trees for the forest ;)

The reviewer should have been clearer with his statement.TrackIR would be an indispensible tool; but is not necessary for FSXPesonally I can not fly in FS9 without it, well I can but you know what I mean :) For GA and low and slow bush flying it is a must. For Big Iron, I use it but do more of that type of flying in the 2D cockpit.I really suggest that all simmers give this device a try; your flying will never be the same, adds total immersion to a really dangerous approach.

What I found very interesting in the 2nd demo (don't have the retail yet) was the clouds reflected off of the water, and the rain on the tarmac was pretty awesome. There is a lot that you guys at ACES have done with FSX that will pleasently supprise quite a few fellow users if they just take the time to explore. The sunrises are simply awesome!!! and the relective windows, all these little nuauces make FSX worth it in my opinion.

Peter, I have to agree with you...When I fired up the latest demo I just left the settings where they defaulted to...which was higher then I expected. I tweaked a few things down and man this is a nice experience. I will be buying the full version, and flying it along side fs9

Why don't you try it with the default settings, that were set after the installation? You guys go run and immediately jack stuff up and then start complaining. ACEs told us that low to med settings were fs9's max. So why do you insist on cranking this thing up well past that?

>Hey guys,>>Lets keep this thread on topic please.>>Thanks,>ThadI concur...lets stay on topic.

The point of this responce???

They hurt themselves, buy not communicating their business requirements in a timely manner throughout their company.All companies have policies and procedures, once they put a product on the shelf for sale, the customer is not bound by any restraint whether to buy or not.

If Best Buy stores did not keep their business agreement; it is not our fault because we are talking about it here on this forum.If they would had honored their part of the agreement they would not have this problem. It is their fault not the community's

I don't think so.Tom...just so that I'm clear on who you are referring to.Is it Justin's comments? or the author of the free mesh?Keep in mind I don't know anything about either of these people;I was just trying understand your comments, after reading Justin's comments.

Tim, I'm giving honor where honor is due; and you have some really outstanding work here with REP. :)I normally only include payware in my sig, but made this exception because I believe it ranks right up there with the rest of payware.

Yes, select the backup button to backup your current textures before selecting the install button for the new REP textures.

I did do a search, and read all the REP related threads; but there was not anything pertaining to what I asked in this post.Thanks for your reply, because it got me to thinking...and I figured out what and where to copy everything manually.I must say that Timest has really outdone himself with this freeware product. Especially the reflections and environment maps and sun effects. I spent most of my time looking at the reflections of the sky/clouds and ground on the metalic prop spinner in the Milton Shupe AC520 with the Pegasus skin.I will say to the shagrin of others, that I'd pay for this product if it wasn't free. :-)Well done!

Timest??? are you out there?I would really appreciate some help here.Thanks

Timest, nice job on this wonderful utility!I'm trying to install it, and have succeeded; butwhen I run the executable I get the applicationwindow and can make selections. But when I try toclick on the backup textures button or the install texturesbutton; nothing happens they don't click or anything. I canteven exit out of the program apart from using task manager.But I can make selections all day.Can you briefly tell me (or anyone who knows how)where and what tocopy from the REP directory to the fs9/world/textures etc?I really want to enjoy this great work; and I'm techie enough to put everything where it goes manually.Thanks alot in advanceRunning XP SP2....I thought this was a dot.net related problem...but I'm running the latest.
