• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

This raises a point not so far mentioned.

Using photo real scenery with terrain extended textures selected,the sim takes several minutes to load a flight, sometimes as much as 5 minutes and with no appreciable difference, so it is not worth selecting

Using default scenery selecting terrain extended textures does not alter the time taken to load by very much, but does make a difference to the quality of the scenery.
