Eating up free space, I wish my puny hard drive had that much to spare, I would buy Megascenery in a hot minute.
I love eye candy and will put up with stuttering just to have it.

About the space issue .... I don't know if it's the Global 2005 that you got or the Global 2005 SE ..... but for people concerned about space, the SE version let's you choose only the areas that you want.... so saves on HD space for places like Coventry that your never going to want to fly to ... hehe ... no offence to anyone from Coventry.

I wonder if FS10 will be on DVDs like X-Plane already is? Hmm, I seem to remember having this question about CDs versus floppy disks once upon a time, and I still have my original Windows installation floppies to prove it, haha.

TTT? Are you copying this? Same memories I bet. Wink

I don't feel any frame rate difference.......
12 GB sounds scary, but it only loads where you are flying over...
