Yes, really, Mark. I didn't claim it is my opinion, or yours, I was just repeating what he told me.
His FSX-upward equivalent is magnificent by comparison, showing a 3D coloured landscape, AI traffic (including on the ground) and even taxiway names. It is such a shame it isn't FS2004 compatible - FS2004 and FSX are technically so similar that there can't be much preventing it being so. But those of us who choose to still live in the Dark Ages (and we all have our reasons) have to accept that less and less add-ons will be available as years progress for our strange pastime. Some add-ons have been killed stone-dead - at least this one still works for those who bought it all those years ago.
Best regards,
John
