The most beautiful city in Brazil. Okay, except for the favelas.

Very nice! That town was probably my favorite port call from my Navy days- when I'm rich and famous someday, I'd like to have a nice little beachside condo in the LaBlonde or Baja neighborhoods.

Thanks! I hope to visit soon. But I hear armed bodyguards are required for foreigners.

Affording professional body guards is not an issue if one can afford a beach-front condo in Rio...

That is a problem in most of Latin and South America. You can't be rich there without living behind a heavily-armed fortress.

I didn't have any of the problems any of the places we went when I was there in South America in 2004. But then again, common sense prevails anywhere you go, and we blended in pretty well.

Navy Nuke, it would be just my luck to go to Brazil or Columbia and get myself kidnapped. I'll be on the evening news!

One thing these show clearly is that MS Flight can't touch FSX. And never will. Just look at my pics!

IMHO, I think the clouds in your shots do look better than Flight. Otherwise, I think MS Flight looks better in all other regards, hands down.

Can that be debated? Of course. But I think "these clearly show that MS Flight can't touch FSX" is quite an overstatement.

Yeah, I was one of the ones who downloaded Flight for all of half an hour or so before uninstalling it again. I'm hoping that X-Plane can step in to fill the void left by FSX too.

I totally disagree. The clouds are stock FSX. I didn't even use REX 2.0 I too have Flight, and I have to disagree with your opinion. Flight can't touch FSX. Where are the ships? Where is the road traffic? Where are the A.I. planes? Where's Brazil?
