FSX was welcomed by me, cause it caused the prices for FS9 and it's addons to drop, sometimes significantly, Many people makiong the jump to FSX want to get rid of their FS9 addons. I also run a better system now than I did back then when FS9 was released. So I abandoned my FS2002 installation, and picked up FS9, plus the complete set of addon terrain textures, environmental mods, meshes, planes, planners. Bought all that second hand, for not more than one third of the once original price. Only fully invested in a new TrackIR 4 Pro.

I saved a lot of money, and now run a very much enhanced FS9 for smile price and on a system that easily handley it at full details, making it look better than the FSX default version.

Thank you FSX! See you again in three or four years (if ever)!

I'm happy - not poor. Happy frames, no stuttering, maximum details. Every patch available - no tricks needed, no waiting, no workaround.
