as you can see I've used FSX for a change as well. frame rates were pretty fluid all the way - about an average of 20 - 40 fps.

If you don't mind me asking, what does the scenery actually add? Roads?, Coastlines?, Landclass textures? It appears rather default looking to me, but then again, I havn't actually seen any screenies of default FSX Japan.

Neither have I, and I requested the shots, so thanks for putting those up towerguy. I understand that add-on is landclass textures? If so, I want to get FSX right away-The shots look a bit dry for Japan (shot in autumn?) but the coastline and rivers are definitely far more accurate than default FS 9. There is no FS9 topo add-on, and just about every major airport is near a river or coastline-its a lot like NZ terrain-wise. so you got to have decent topo.

Come to think of it those may just possibly be default textures-IIRC Microsoft might not classify Japan as Asia for lc textures. Better not to fly in autumn/winter maybe....Either way, FSX data set looks very accurate, especially the rivers-nice!
