Okay totally understand. i'll think about it for a while and see what I

I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong here: we now have so many
different options, but getting snow by method 2 or 3 results in deciduous
trees in full leaf with snow coverage on the ground. Not an impossible
scenario, but bare trees are more likely. Is this a bug?
It's actually... pretty

Hi Curt,
Thanks for the reply.
I believe Fred intentionally chose to use
the same registry key from one version to the next.
Ok, that's understandable... my last install was

But then not sure why not choose just C:\PF\FlightGear

with just two more weeks to go till the release, we'd better get our release
