FSX Steam Released! (80% off sale?)
3 questions, if I may. Mine will be a dual install...I currently have and use the DVD version. 1. Will the FSX steam desktop icon differ from the old retail version, or will it have to be launched from the root folder if I have FSX x 2? 2. Will Nvidea inspector recognise FSX Steam, in order to apply the VSych half refresh rate setting separately? 3. Will the FTX Global lights work okay if using FSX Steam in DX9 mode? Maybe another quick question...I'm guessing that once FSX Steam is installed, any subsequent uninstalls of the DVD version will necessitate uninstalling FSX Steam also, as IT has to be installed AFTER the DVD version, correct? Cheers, Mike.

MegaSceneryEarth England and Wales
I'm still tempted to buy it, just to keep all my photo scenery 'in house' so to speak. I like the fact that MSE bunches everything into one simple folder, such as 'Belgium', which I guess you could do with the Horizon England/Wales if you knew what you was doing (I probably don't). Any chance of a screenshot to show just how bad these MSE England/Wales coastal areas actually are?

MegaSceneryEarth England and Wales
My main gripe with the Horizon/Playsims product is this: That awful colouration that seems to tarnish great swathes of my East Anglian homeland. If the M.S.E version doesn't suffer from those garish hues, then for me, it'll be worth the purchase just for that! I'm guessing that I can still use the Horizon mesh and Vectors with the M.S.E England and Wales package, which will go a long way in eliminating the coastal issues noted by many users?

MegaSceneryEarth England and Wales
That's a little disappointing. Whilst I have nothing against the Playsims/Horizon VFR, it would have been nice to have everything 'in house'. I have the MSE Netherlands, Belgium as well as a growing collection of NA states. I guess the MSE file size is lower than the Playsims version of England and Wales because it doesn't include the vectors, mesh or 3D objects? One thing I've found when overflying the Playsims/Horizon England, specifically in agricultural areas, is that some of the fields look almost hand tinted, often in garish hues of pink and orange. I'd hope the MSE version is better in that regard? As I'm also using UTX Europe, would that correct the vector issues around water bodies and coastlines do you think?

Photo scenery Belgium 2012 re-uploaded
I missed this AGAIN!! I so want Belgium as a compliment to NL2000 and my UK Photo scenery, but I keep missing the deadlines! Will this be resubmitted anywhere in the foreseeable future?
