Agreed, if you want to fly heavy metal at over 40fps you Must use FS9. I am in the aviation simulator field, and I can tell you FIDELITY is everything. I have used Vatsim, active sky, and it is only doable on my rig in FS9.

      I too tried FSX and I am sorry to point out. It is just very inefficient, performance wise. Frame rate is everything and affects response from the PC in multiple ways. Anyhow I have also bough captain sim addons all the way back to the L39. I humbly request further FS2004 releases in the near future.
