I think what people are failing to realize is that the NGX and DC-9 are in whole new leagues. You are comparing an all glass cockpit to an all "steam" cockpit. Sitting at FlyTampa Tampa I am getting 25-30 fps in the vc. People also are not counting in the fact that it has been out only 12 days. I think the whole modeling is nice and the way it functions is nice. I get slightly blurry textures at 4096 but still readable to me. The aircraft has been for the most part hassle free. I am in the process of learning the flow of things and the whole VOR nav but am getting there. I personally like the sounds and think the modeling outside is great. The extra livery packs add to it in the grand scheme of things. I read on the support forums that there is a patch scheduled for withing the next couple of weeks. As a side note the extra color variations from Sara look really nice. I have never been a huge fan of the bluish colors.
