Goodbye FSX hello old friend FS2004

[CBreuer]

Hey guys,

you are all speaking out of my mind! :P
I have also bought a new computer (Dual Core) about half a year ago and I never really thought of buying FSX, so I also stick with FS9 for probably a long time to come.
If you have a look at the recently released sceneries for FS9 (especially in teh freeware sector) there is no need to move on (on my side). Last week we had a very good MP Session again and for all airports we had excellent sceneries available (SOCA, TBPB and SVMI).

I think it will take a considerable time for FSX to get such great sceneries for free in that quality, but on the other hand I can not really compare it. But if you look at Avsim every day how much files are still uploaded for FS9, bearing in mind, that FSX is almost out for 2 (two) years that is amazing and almost speakes for itself.

Ok, for all you out there flying FSX since almost the first day, I don't want to make front against you. There will be most likely sceneries, aircrafts and whatever released in the future and these will be really great and of course they will be demanding to your hardware, but hardware is also making progress, so one day you and maybe even I will be in the position to fly FSX with everything maxed out... never say never! :D

There are mainly two reasons why I have not bought FSX:
1. Every new version ran on my previous system (although you have to upgrade as usual), but FSX was a disaster. I only had the demo installed once. It was a disaster on my system and it was not the badest at this time and I really expected more...
2. I had so much add-ons, especailly payware, that I didn't want to miss again. And I wasn't in the mood for buying them all again for FSX, which among the graphics didn't have any improvement. Who needs eye-candy stuff if the flight dynamics are almost the (bad) same? Me not!

Well, let me count, I think these were already my 10 cents worth. :D
