I agree Dave, Stansted isn't somewhere I ever fly to or from. Just hope they bring out Manchester Extreme soon.

I can't load it anyway as my Graphics card is not expected till sometime tomorrow at the earliest as everyone is out of X1950 XTX's it seems

& it won't load with this borrowed NV6200 rubbish.

FS9 runs at 11 fps with this card

.

Regards
Rick

I always think that the UK2000 scenerys look the same... every one of them "look" identical just arranged in a different order... hmm. I'd appreciate a cloud9 airport theme for the UK

These new Xtreame versions are rather good I think. Better then Heatrow pro at any rate imo.

I see your point Callum but I don't think it's avoidable really. Look at Steve Anderson's UK Airfields and they have a 'samey' look. OSS sceneries, the same. Even our very own Toby's sceneries display a 'I think I know who made this' look about them. With hours spent getting textures just right, no one in their right mind would use 'em once for one project and never again

Thing is with Gary Summons.. he's covered England and Wales so if you have them all, the similarities will be more prominent

Dave, no but it does look pretty much like Stansted I know and er... love (I think). It's a considerable improvement on the standard Stansted (try saying that 100 times quickly).

Rick, I read your comments on Nvidia in the Classic Brit forum with interest - I had always thought that the cone effect lights were to do with the sim. Looks like my next card will be an ATI one. Let us know what difference your new card makes to FSX (if any). BTW I upgraded to a 4000+ AMD processor (from 3200+) last week and I think I eaked out an additional 3 FPS in FSX; thankfully the new processor was less than 50 quid.

Regards,
Chris
