I am completely happy with my version of Microsoft Flight Simulator X.  What I don't understand, is why people keep pestering CaptainSim to make a product for FS9 when CaptainSim said NO.  No means no.  And like I said before, I may not get 40+ fps, but the 15-20fps I do get are extremely smooth.  Why should CaptainSim go backwards? I hope you understand, Robert

Robert, I don't believe you speak for or represent Captain Sim or it affiliates....Don't try so hard!

As for the other comments, 15-20 FPS is not completely smooth....According to many sources the human eye can detect stutters and jitters up to 30 FPS!!! So how many of you avid FSX users are getting that number? And if you are then your sliders are set so far back the game probably looks like FS2004 anyways...Not to mention if you have any weather enhancing programs, ground mesh and terrain... I have an extreme overclocked E8500 with 2 9800Gts cards liquid and air cooled and can't get more that 35 FPS (with all the sliders up) no additional Ai or scenery and with default aircraft!!!! Now imagine I added some hundreds of thousands of Ai flights over 700 airport scenery's, Mesh addons, etc, etc, etc....5 FPS would probably be the result.....

It's not that I want to start something here between FSX and FS9 users...I really don't care. I just wanted to know whether or not CS was going to develop a FS9 version of their new products? There is no crime in that...I think....
