>Can you maybe copy over the textures from FS9?How do we try that?

Anyone with FSX able to take a quick to see if the 'Red Gold' Cessna is white too?

I was looking to load a FSX plane similar to the Red 172 in FS9.Found a Skyhawk Red, Gold listed, but does not look to have any Red or Gold. Install glitch or does everyone have this issue?http://www.pbase.com/jackcnd/image/68181603/original.jpgFSX Screenshots: http://www.pbase.com/jackcnd/fsx

>I have found a way to use UTCanada without overlapping>elevations at rivers (a mess really) and overlapping>coastlines too I think>>...>allenWow, if you find a way to get the Fraser River back at Hope BC, that would be great. The roads and mesh are fine in FS-X but shorelines and rivers are really lacking if your used to UT.

In the past the speed of CPU's doubled quickly and graphics cards followed. Are 6GHz cpus coming in the next 12 months or would a faster graphics card make that much of a difference? FS-X seems to need at least a 3 fold improvment in frame rates. I held off upgrading waiting for Vista and FS-X to arrive but now I dont see an upgrade helping in the short term, any suggestions?

I too, prefer FS2004 with addons over FS-X for daytime flying. It's a good point, if the odd sunken airport is worth the trade off for the extra addon mesh detail in FS-X? Guess it depends where you fly. The shots were taken just to show differences, not to promote anything. The default FS-X Canada mesh does look so much better than the default mesh did in FS2004.With FS2004 the Western Canada FSGenesis mesh and Ultimate Terrain made a big difference in visuals and still allowed for running at 1920x1200.Maybe Microsoft is aware of big advances coming in computing power soon, it looks like FS-X will need them.

I've been using the full FS-X deluxe for about a day now and added FSGenesis mesh. Using a ATI x850 card on a 3.5Ghz Northwood, 2 Gigs of ram, 1920x1200. With the old FS2004, FSG Mesh and UT Canada, it was a dream to fly everything maxed out, ... not like that anymore with FS-X.With FS-X the only way to make it flyable is to turn autogen OFF, nothing to do with the FSG mesh, its just FS-X alone with autogen runs the PC to the ground. Too bad, as maxed out autogen on FSX looks great, maybe one day, but not soon as it runs at 5fps at most in busy areas. Even with autogen off, I had to drop the screen resolution. Flying at 1920x1200 was a no-go resulted in blurry textures, and often slow framerates. I needed to drop to 1280x720 or so for consistant 20-30 fps.The default FSX mesh is very good in Canada, and adding the FSGenesis mesh adds a bit of detail, great... but the added mesh also brings up the usual issues, of sunken airports, shoreline issues, etc. Overtime I hope they will be corrected as before. Good news so far on the mesh side. FSGenesis FSX mesh in Canada has little impact I could see on frame rates. You can simply turn FSG mesh on as needed within FSX, no need to restart anymore. Guess it just depends where/how you fly, you can just turn on / off as needed.Compare default FS-X with FSGenesis mesh by looking at the screenshots from Western Canada in the mountains, Banff, Lake Louise. You can also see a FS2004 shot of Banff, and a real photo from the same spot. Be sure to view images full size, click on thumbnail and select ORIGINAL under imageScreenshots! http://www.pbase.com/jackcnd/fsxFS2004 with FSG CC mesh and UT Canada seems ahead of FS-X at least for daytime mountain flying. Just looks better, clearer, more detail, and it runs much faster and you can max out the autogen.In Canada, FSX has decent landclass for some major cities, but lacks elsewhere. At Hope BC, the entire Fraser River is missing! I'm sure some addons will fix those up soon.Hope over time things will improve for FS-X as it does look to have promise if PCs ever catch up.

Have a look at CYHE...Used to be one of my favorite places for a quick flight, from Hope BC to Chilliwack BC, but with FS-X the Fraser River is missing? Can anyone else can confirm that just want to make sure its not some mesh I added...P.S The Mountains look great with 19m mesh!

Bestbuy has the Deluxe at $79 with $10 gift card, FutureShop price matched to $69.I have a feeling its going to cost a lot more over the next few months to get this thing running a decent speeds ...

Thanks :)

How Much HD Space needed for full deluxe install?

Nothing in the NW :(Post some Calgary screenshots if you can...

Great thanks! Looks like deluxe is the way to go for us up north. Now just wait for it to arrive and hope they have the right version in stock.

>More aircraft>Garmin G1000 glass panel>Extra detailed cities>Extra detailed airports>Tower Control option (multiplayer)>SDKAnyone know what the extra detailed cities and airports are, would make my buying choice much easier...

Does the standard or deluxe version include any Canadian cities with higher detail?Anyone find a list of specific differences between versions, I just seen general differences.

Calgary Bestbuy's and Futureshop's didnt get FS-X in as expected today.Same with EB Games and Walmart. Also looks like BB and FS only list the standard as coming in...Anyone find FS-X or FS-X deluxe in Canada, where?
