FS2004, Worth the Price?
I'm more of a geography buff than an aviation ace so I get more enjoyment out
of the scenery realism than the different types of aircraft I may be flying. In your opinion, are the scenery enhancements in FS2004 worth plunking down another 50 bucks to stay current with the state of the art? I'm running FS2002 now with the add-on terrain mesh scenery enhancement for North American. Jerry in LAS |

I see FS2002/4 as much as an atlas as a sim too. and on balance, I think the
upgrade is worth it. There are a great many small improvements in roads and coastlines and landmarks. There has been a lot of work put in to make the landscapes more realistic. Using the Lago toolkit, you can very quickly transfer all your addons and mesh from 2002, so I wd say go ahead and enjoy a better experience with fs9. One more thing, if you use two or three screens the modes available are many more, and so screen definition is infinitely better now.

I think its very much worth it. I've been playing fs2002 for a while.
Fs2004 was a nice upgrade. Works great on my XP 2400, 512 megs of ram and my Geforce 4 MX 440. (entire system cost me 500 bucks, so its not the highest end equipment by any means) Graphics are tweaked out, new aircraft & scenerios are nice and the interface cleanup is great. FS2002 took longer to startup & build textures for me. -byron "Jaybee727" wrote in message ...

I think FS2004 is the most advanced piece of entertainment/learning software
on the PC today. Certainly no other program has as much development time behind it. I have a hard time putting my joystick away these days. "Jaybee727" wrote in message ...

You're right, I do need to get out more!
Maybe you just need to get *it* out a little less. ;-) WS |
