What I mean is that even in cloudy skies (full overcast), the sun would still "shine" on the aircraft therefore creating shadows etc.

I am currently in a full overcast at JFK however I still see the sun's reflection on the aircraft and all other objects around. Is there an option to remove the sun's reflection on objects during overcasts?

At night, the ai and my aircraft have black textures. During the day, dusk, or dawn, the textures show up. Any way to fix this?

While playing FS9 in windowed mode, the AA setting I chose from Catalyst Control Center doesn't affect FS9. However, the changes appear in full screen. Is there a way to enable the AA setting from CCC in windowed mode?

Since this would be my main computer, I read that the i7 would be a better choice (I also use Photoshop and Dreamweaver) as it would benefit me better. Concerning the GPU, both processors come with an ATI 5650 w/ 1GB dedicated ram so the GPU isn't a main concern. Since FS9 does take advantage of turbo-boost, will I be able use FS9 w/ high quality add-ons (REX, PMDG 747 etc) at full settings w/o any problems or stutters on the i7?

I am in the process of buying a new laptop and I would also like it to be able to play flight simulator 2004 with high settings. Since I heard FS9 is only single-threaded, will there be a significant difference in fps between an i5 580m (clocked at 2.66ghz with turbo boost up to 3.33ghz) and an i7 720qm (clocked at 1.6ghz with turbo boost up to 2.8 ghz). Will FS9 even take advantage of turbo-boost?

Amazing pics! What is the difference between forced and enhanced AA? Which one has better IQ?

i have to slightly disagree with you. certainly most of the buildings were not constructed well. however, there were a few created by the best of french and american architects (which also collapsed). an example is the Citibank headquarters in haiti. Earthquakes are very very very very rare in Haiti. buildings were not built to support these strong quakes.

hello,planes do land at night at the airport. the runway lights work as they are powered by generators. navaids do not work requiring pilots to land completely by sight.

Yes it is. make sure you type AISmooth as one word and not two.Fabrice

Hi,Do you know where I can find Nick's guide. Ive used the search function but can't seem to find it.ThanksFabrice

Hi,I use PFE (Proflight Emulator) and I think its the best ATC out there. I think it beats RC by far. http://www.aerosoft.com/cgi-local/us/ibosh...i?showd,,D10535Fabrice
