I love detailed scenery, the attraction of flying in real life is taking in the view and feeling alive with all the senses feeling fully awake. FSX gives me the closes thing on a computer to this experiece. My pc struggles on frame rates where as FS9 run like a dream, but having got used to seeing cars on the roads, gorgeous water reflections and crisp ground detail, I have sacrified smooth play for better visuals. I have just ordered a new PC to get the frame rates and visuals, I'm just greedy !!!!!! Yes I would love FSX to run maxed out on a slower pc, but it doesn't, so I had a choice to make and I made it.
