Actually no! Because i allready know this video very well... as one of my collegues did it... 😄 With whom I am discussing about aviation and its simulation allmost everyday...  Other than that, I am well aware, of the progress Simulation made from way back when till today... as i could see the progression also in Real Full Motion Flight Simulators and that's quite significant. Allthough, there's not only personal Dedication to FS9 which is why i am sticking to it but also the lack of Hardware which would be able to support todays sims...  So this would conclude it for tonight and with that I'll call it a day... 

So to bash and bullcrap against MSFS 2020 is ok? You cant have things both ways, so please inform others to stay on topic. Oh and by the way, I wasn't bashing your beloved simulation, I was merely pointing out that there is a well done YT video that shows the progression of MS flight simulations from the early days until now. Would you like to view the video?

Nah! Please don't start this discussion again... i've had enough of this bashing and bullshitt of which sim is the better and why... I really do not need that in every thread over again and again and again!! Can we please go back to topic which is the FS9 Essentials?  Thank you! 

If that was the case, which it's not, why not just keep using FS2002?   The main concept hasn't changed since FS1.0.   I should find the YT link that beautify shows the progressive nature of FS from the beginning to now. 

Personally my thought is that they brought MSFS 2020 out only for the visual appearance and the minor details which most of them are not visible at high altitude cruise. The main concept didn't changed : Flying experience and the joy is the same.

Yes ... it looks great, something like MSFS 2020. But only for a few seconds. Maybe the reason why MSFS 2020 and 2024 came out.

Yes, that blatant line of demarcation is so distracting, I would rather have less detailed terrain that is consistent.   In a package of Japanese airports I removed the individual photo terrain files and kept the airports themselves.     Beautiful scenery of a very small area of eastern Japan, what's visible here is about 75% of the file;  it stood out like a sore thumb compared to the rest of the area.  

Sorry .. DXT3 ...😆

In my case MyTraffic2006 is too outdated. There is no up-to-date ready to install AI traffic Package for FS 2004 nor for FSX. If you want to stay current but insist on FS 2004 you've to install all the AI traffic manually. All current AI aircraft textures are for P3D and they have to be converted from DDS to BMP ( DXT5 ). It is really time consuming. I'd done it for all of the world and updating it from time to time using AIG Manager for the latest plans via P3Dv.4.5.   Below is an example from Aerosoft's Frankfurt Rhein-Main (EDDF). Same is for Sydney's Kingsford Smith.

Agree, the boarders Issue is another and the Colors issue is a third... 

The problem with photoscenery      

"MyTraffic2006"? Really? Have seen some of its models?   Bernard

Happily, this small update went quickly without issues. Hopefully the next large update on the 9th will address some the bugs in the default 172. It doesn't link 100% with my Logitech/Saitek yoke or my FV Trim Wheel presets. Beam Eye tracker however continues to impress.   Several daily flights in my Piper Tomahawk without a glitch or a stutter, so...Yay. 

Is that a specific package, or are you looking for general ai traffic for Australasia? If the latter, "MyTraffic2006" (now available as a free download) or "Traffic 2005" (readily available second hand on eBay etc.) might serve your purposes.

Have a look at the Crusader! Plenty of information about it, in French.. (thanks Google translate)
