In word...WOW....I just set up CYYZ (Toronto Pearson) in the Weather Generator section for BLIZZARD...and that's exactly what I got! The weather graphics (heavy snow) was very, very life-like. I loved the change in the animation of the snow as I rolled down the runway, with a great rendering of a driven snow-flake.Good go, guys....This is one great program that at the 512x512x32 cloud texture, even in a blinding snowstorm that you don't break out of until 12,000 feet...my FPS only dipped to around 14 to 17 in the heavy storm depiction. As soon as I broke out into much less intense cloud-scape (although still quite heavy) my frames shot up to 29.8 (30 locked) and stayed there.I look forward to checking out all the features and options of this new version, and with that in mind....CHEERS!Mitch R.Pentium 4 3.4 GHz (Prescott Core)ATI X800XT 256 meg'er (ATI's 5.6 driver suite)1 Gig of 533 MHz RAM

Is there anything that you DON'T like?Aside from that, shouldn't all of the ASV rantings, being that it is payware, be relegated to it's own forum? I was under the impression that advertising was frowned upon in this forum. Not that I think that there is a double standard here...Hope that helps.

Hi Edam...There surely is things that I don't like...but as far as AS2004.5, and now AS(5) are concerned, and what they do to add to the life-like environment of virtual flight within FS9...there has been ***NOTHING*** that I do not like. BTW, I am a PAYING customer on both accounts of purchase, lol.But if this makes you feel better....ah...uhm......er...ok...here is something I do not like: My CD player inside my Dakota R/T does not play MP3 files!!!! GAWD....but do I not like THAT!!!!!!(All said with tongue-in-cheek) :)Cheers!Mitch'er
