I get where you are coming from.... but... and it's a big but (Insert Sir Mix-a-lot joke here. )....

Let's say I was stinking rich and I chose, for whatever reason, to own a family runabout instead of a sports car. I can say, over and over again, how annoyed I am that all my friends are zipping around at 150mph and yet I can, just about, manage 60mph before I start to hear bits of my engine fall off..... but that was my choice, wasn't it? It would be best if I just either a) accepted responsibility for my choice or b) bit the bullet and bought a Ferrari. What I certainly wouldn't do is expect all my sports car owning mates to drive around at 50mph to make me happy.

As a father I have to make all kinds of difficult budgeting decisions (Well.. not difficult per se as, of course, my son comes first every time.).... I can take him to Legoland or I can take him down the local park and, therefore, actually be able to afford food and nappies for the little chap. I wouldn't expect every other parent on the planet, regardless of their income, to never go to Legoland out of some strange sense of totally unearned loyalty to me.

I've only got an HD 6770 and 4gb of ram so I'd just like to state just how disgusted I am with all the people on this forum who are playing with high/very high graphics settings! Shame on you, people! Shame on you!

All the above said... I have read, understood and assimilated your post Blackdog and I do see that DX9 users are not holding us back..... my above post is addressed to the DX9 users who seem to think it is excusable or acceptable for them to do so.

What has that got to do with piracy?

Windows XP is one of the most pirated pieces of software out there, Luffe. The vast majority of XP systems out there, it is reckoned, are dodgy.... even ones that came with PCs bought from "reputable" hardware salesmen.

I see.. no Radio Comms.. again!!! BlackSix, can you please ask Luthier about an answer regarding the status and his intentions regarding the Radio Comms?!!

At least there will be some work on AI (but I'll hve to see it first, before believing it)

And an advice: dump the DX9 (and 32 bits) support altogether, at least starting with BoM!

Hah, yes true. I'd imagine that pirating gamers/simmers would have the latest dodgy OS anyway, though.

Would those people who have DX9 PCs please upgrade and save us all from this silly fiasco. Thank you.
