Yea, I think Tom has it there. Better aircraft shine on the top shot (see: landing light reflection), darker autogen, a darker shot all round (FS9 seems to be a bit washed out), more defined roads.

well i was going to say tommorow, but may as well let the cat out of the bag, since it has already eaten through the bag!!! blink.gif yes you guys are right, now care to guess the difference in frame rates?

Similar? There is a lot less autogen in the first shot, which is why I guessed FSX. You'd have to have less autogen etc in FSX to get the same FPS. laugh.gif

nope quite wrong there, i am down about 30fps on fsx. i am running about 38 to 50fps on fs9 where i am getting 8-15 fps on fsx (has dropped recently, i am exploring why this has happened)

Even worse. TBH I actually prefer the softer look of the second shot. Stick with FS9! tongue.gif

funny you mention that, i prefer the look of shot two as well, not sure why, look more realistic in some ways i think my frame rate hit has been caused by the new e-jets from wilco, so i am removing that and will see what happens

hmmm, seems like the wilco e-jets has done something some where, i have removed it but am still having super low frame rates, might have to clean install fsx i think, it is intresting i installed the E-jets into both fsx and fs9, (correct version for each) and i was struggling to get about 10fps in any view with the e-jets, must be something going on there

I like the second on more smile.gif
Looks like FS9 is getting much better results for you, so you should stay with that.

I would say I prefer the second and at first I almost said the second was FSX.
But then I looked with my eyes open and the small differences began to stick out.
The second is my preferred shot.

I agree, the second is better than the first. I thought Iwas leaving fs9, had it uninstalled for 9 days.... Welcome back fs9 to the computer for the umptenth time.
