I don’t have Vista, and to be honest I’ve never been “scared” by moving on, but if everything works fine, why bother spending loads of money to keep up with the latest craze. I prefer to catch up later, that way all the bugs have been ironed out of the software. Vista still has many problems from what I’ve been reading, but so did XP upon it’s release and these were sorted out in time. I don’t “need” a new Operating System and will only get Vista when I get a new computer. I’ve never gone and bought a new OS for the sake of it, I have much better things to spend my money on.
Back to the thread in hand, like many people I’ve bought a lot of money’s worth of addons for FS9 many of which will not work on FSX, and I’m rather fond of them. The UK2000 Scenery team have recently released a statement saying many of their scenery products will not run properly on FSX and a complete rebuild would be the only way of rectifying the problem, a huge task that could take years to complete. I like flying from my local patch, and to lose that would take away a huge amount of the enjoyment for me.
As for water, there are plenty of freeware or payware addons that create stunning water effects for FS9, it’s also perfectly possible to have AI boats too, so there’s nothing new in that really.
It’s all down to what works for individual people, and for me I’m happy with what I’ve got. 🙂
