I just got FSX. It's a nice sim indeed, ground textures are a great deal more detailed than in FS9. I am still experimenting with settings in the sim. I have a question re: the clouds. Is there is a good freeware program for improving the clouds in FSX? The FS9 clouds on my other sims are a great deal more detailed than what is in FSX. Something else that came to my attention during a night flight last night in the Basler was the way the land seems to be sliding over the surface of the water when viewed from above in the moonlight. That is, it doesn't sit still when viewed from above but moves forward ever so slightly over the water (when looking at lakes or rivers, for example) as the aircraft flies in the same direction. Is there a fix for this?
