My First Flight in Flightzone 02...

This scenery is the most realistic scenery that I have ever seen for Flight Simulator 9 and in my opinion, it is way superior to anything ever seen in FSX:-

...5000 feet.

And here straight down.

...Hillsboro. The cars on the road are moving of course.

I have to say that in my honest opinion...This is a real as it will ever get.

Garry,
I don't believe FS9 will ever be surpassed by FSX. I am still buying Aerosoft German scenery for FS9 and as for this Flightzone stuff...I will buy everything anyone makes of that quality. I expect to remain with FS9 though FSX, FSXI and maybe even through FSXII
Furthermore, I get excellent frame rates and performance in this Portland area :dance:

Hi Peter
That looks amazing!!!!
Off Topic: if I remember well you once complained that the only problem with FS9 was the water textures. Is that correct?
If so have you tried a new package from Joao Paz (of Howard 500 project fame) named Jazz Art's water environment (jzwater.zip) at Avsim.com.

Not quite...I said that the only thing I liked about FSX was the water reflections

I do have some excellent water in FS9 now and I'm very pleased with it :dance:
