Pankaj Not much into MSFS, I'm afraid. The latest I've used MSFS is FS9. FlightGear is better than FS9, but I've heard about very realistic simming in FSX. -FGP Back to top whoispankaj Member Joined: 20 Apr 2007 Posts: 29 Posted: Mon Mar 03, 2008 9:05 pm    Post subject: Yeah FSX looks a lot better than FS9. I tried it at max settings and woww the whole scenery was tooo good during the dusk..But still a lot more to improve on the weather radar front and slopy runways..Have u tried the commercial addons like PMDG 737/747 , Level D 767 , Active sKY in FS9??

Pankaj Er.. maybe we should take flight simming to a separate thread.. Anyways.. I've tried 737, but that was several years ago. I've not been using MS flight simulator for a couple of years now. Do they also have world scenery? I remember FS9 had some Indian cities like Mumbai, but the terrain looked nowhere like Mumbai. The terrain data in flight gear is really good -- especially the latest version 0.9.10. I'm able to for instance, visually navigate from VAPO to VABB and can recognize several hills in the vicinity of VABB like the ones in Mulund and Ghatkopar.

I am Alvin and I live in Hong Kong. I found this is the most updated and informative India subcontinent aviation forum. Thanks for the moderators for creating such an amazing website. My greatest research interest is flight schedules of major airports around the world. At this moment, I am working on a comprehensive list of a couple of airports such as ICN, HKG, BKK, SIN, etc. I would be very interested to compose DEL and BOM airport schedules for the fellows here. I would need much of your information in local India! My pleasure to everyone here!!!
