Why do we have that same retro shot quoted and shown four times ? kind of spoils a good thread  :lol:  - how about creating a retro screenshot thread instead  :lol:

alex330 I withouit doubt think the softer, unsharpened second shot look best.

Ya, would be nice if we kept the screenshots related to the topic.

I also think the unsharpened pic looks better.  More natural.

I think we all agree to from now on to keep the screenshots on topic and the thread to be on topic.

Also, what did you guys think of my screenshots?

Thanks Hypofx!
Sweet shots you have there, too! Austria Pro... Maybe I should get my hands on this :lol:
I'm also hoping for more VFR shots like LeadBallon's or Hardcore's ones, they really look like being there! :lol:

It was not specified that the pics must be of terrain....  

OP said:

There is no right or wrong pics to post here. If you think it is close to reality, then post it.

Planes and skies can look close to reality without ground testures.  Not everybody has photo scenery.

No I have not encountered this water - did you make note of the error message?

The only thing I can suggest is you download it again, in case the original is corrupt, and make sure you did download the 2.1 version - older versions are not compatible with SP1 & 2.
