Classic American Trains come to FSX
For those of you like me who longed for some realistic trains to set on the tracks, Dan French has finally given us our wish. He has created a library of over 50 classic American late steam era and early diesel era trains including the liveries of the famous Daylight of Southern Pacific and the famed Super Chief Streamliner and the universally used and loved Pullman passenger cars as well as freight cars and a caboose. Thank you Dan, much appreciated, and there is even a LA late era streetcar, these are designed to work on both FS9 and FSX and with some work can be made to run in AI mode, tho we are still doing research and hope to release some add on packages to install them in major cities and ideal locations. With some re skinning they can work for just about any train of any era.

Built in FS9 modelling, they should work in both FS2004 and FSX sceneries. Night lighting included on some engines and passenger cars. By Dan French. A great help and contribution to the sim world. thank you Dan. Chris

"Shade" for FSX
Shade is indeed an interesting concept, i will have to test it myself, but i see it does make anbiance and contextual Contrast changes in levels of hiearchy so that you get more depth in the visuals. I have felt that FX even with FEX and GEX is overly flat, so this may indeed help out a lot, but i was not too impressed with some of the high contract pictures, someone posted some mountain pictures that were overly dark. You always have some inherent light in natural lighting, the stormy weather pics are the most successful so far from what I see. thanks to all for sharing the pics and tests. Best way will be to try it out.

Replacing WOAI with Ultimate Traffic Questions
I purchased a copy of Ultimate Traffic for my install of FS9 but i have about 30 airlines installed with WOAI. I am assuming i should clean house of any other AI before installing UT.... the planes for certain but was not sure what sort of AFCAD WOAI installs..unfortunately i deleted the original installer for most of these WOAI airlines so cant use the built in function. my bad.can anyone advise what to remove from the WOAI files to make room for UT? i will keep digging on my own but wanted to ask for advice here too.
