Forgive my writing style as it's fairly early here and my eyes are not what they used to be at this time. What I find upsetting ('and gets my back up') Orbx, is the way you treat customers who give you general constructive criticism in your forums. Users who have parted with their dollars for your software deserve some respect and I don't really see that in some of the return comments on your forum. What does it say about the fact that I (like many I have seen in forums) don't feel comfortable posting constructive criticisms in your forums? As soon as they mention anything like it, they are verbally abused. Maybe you have illusions of grandeur my friend. You have a software company; I have medals. Abomination? I mentioned I was disappointed with the product. Anyway, I look forward to your response, but my night flight is over for tonight. Happy flying my fellow simmers. Rod

Hello fellow flyers, My grandson recently purchased Global for me by a company called Orbx and I must say I am very disappointed with this product. I did not tell him this of course at it would have upset him to see that I was disappointed, but of all the flight simulation accessories I have had for Flight Simulator, this one was the most expensive and also the most disappointing. Ground textures seem to be highly off in many areas, especially in the southwest. My wife, who I met in Vietnam during the war commented also on how little Global's version of Vietnam resembled the real one Now, even though I am not a youngster, I am not a computer monkey, so I have visited the forums where the product originated from. I was thinking of posting some constructive criticism regarding this product but holy cow; if you open your mouth you are hailed with a load of abuse and kicked out of the forum. I wasn't going to have any of that cockamamie crap, so I left. I have now removed this product and gone back to what I had before, which are two products called Ultimate Terrain and Ground environment, which have served me well (also gifts). In terms of the Global product and my grandson; well I won't tell him and I won't use them. I posted in here, because I feel that it is a safe place to mention this. All the best fellow flyers Rod

Thanks for the reply. A the moment I use Active Sky 6 and their lowest level clouds; but I'll try the 24bit instead of the dxt. Cheers

Hi fellow FSX users, Just want to say that I love Flight Simulator. I have had every version since Flight Sim 5 right up to FSX and it's just an amazing product. It's taken me to many places, which in reality would cost a fortune, but from I what I have seen in the X-Plane forums here, there seems to be an opinion that X-Plane will become the default sim over X-Plane. What do you guys think? From what they are saying, they seem to pretty sure of themselves, but there still doesn't seem to be many add-ons available for it, even though it is hyped up beyond belief. Cheers Roger

Hi guys, What are the best clouds you can download in terms of frame-rates? I still find that the default clouds slow my system. Cheers

Hi guys, Where is the best place to buy mesh for FSX? Thanks
