The textures are superb on metro 2033, I love the weapons and little things like having to check the watch to see how long the gas mask filters will last. Also the magneto for charging the torch.
Not played much yet but feels a little slow in places with everything on high, 4x AA @1680x1050
might tweak the settings a little bit.
Those screenys of it are stunning

lol, just lol.
Metro looks great though! Can't wait to get it when it comes down in price a little.
are there any things like weapon jams?
And does the stealth work or are the enemies able to see you in the darkest corner (without night vision) instantly?
Also is ammo suitably scarce?
Ie you've only got a couple of mags and alwayus having to use it carefully.
Never 400+ rounds of ammo 5 different guns al with 500 ammo and ammo every 5 feet?
I really wan ta good hardcore shooter that punishes Doom style play
Yeah character models still hold up pretty well although combat is feeling a little outdated by today's standards. Some of the environments also look pretty bad in places too but this is a Quake 3 engine variant AFAIK. I'll get some more pictures posted later.

I was going to ask you about the performance tweaking and what terrain textures you were using as I could put up a pic of REX 2.0 with GEX/UTX Europe at 1920x1080 ultra settings right now and I can guarantee that your pics still look better!!!
I'm the same, I do like to (try) and fly things properly (I bought PMDG's J41) but the visuals are cool and you don't see those sitting on the ground pre-flight checking for hours on end, so its good to just get in and get flyin, particularly the military aircraft - have you checked out the C-130 (which includes the AC-130) here: http://www.justflight.com/product.asp?pid=313
Definately wouldn't mind knowing what addons your using, I am sorely missing some decent air ports!
BTW also using Traffic X and no idea what density to set it at! (40% atm).
Wow the earthsimulations scenery is amazing, wish I had seen that before I bought UTX/GEX Europe!

but it was ingame at 1920x1080 with max settings dx11...Right, don't forget to make sure you pick up the tweak tips from that link I posted, most of my tweaks I got from there. Pay special attention to texture_bandwidth_mult (I tend to have it at 400 for photoreal sceneries) & lod_radius (default is at 4.50000 mine is at 9.50000, you will need to experiment).
In a nutshell differences between GEX/UTX vs Photoreal scenery(1m per pixel or better): GEX/UTX- takes up less HD install space, less resource intense, cover large areas, different season looks, but has 'generic' look to it, no real ground detail for the area concerned. Photoreal, ground detail is taken from satellite images, if done properly (some photoreal can be very poorly done, beware!) the conversion to FSX landscape can be truely breathtaking (as seen by many of my screenshots), does take up loads and loads more HD space due to the fact you are storing highly detailed image files, also means takes up more resources when running it through FSX, espcially physical memory, more then likely will start to get problems with blurries, depending on HD access speed etc. Has only 1 look to it, ie no seasonal changes cause you are really looking at a static image taken from a satellite, you might need a proper MESH loaded for the area concerned as the default FSX mesh my not look right especially close up. Thats as brief of an explanation as I can make it.
If you are after good airport addons, I can recommend Manchester Xtreme by UK2000, I recently got it and it is very good, their other airports are very good too. Aerosoft do many great European airports but the best would have to be Alderney by Earth Simulation and their latest airport/scenery, Isles of Scillies, this is simply mind blowing. It is about to be released and I HIGHLY recommend you get it, you will not be disappointed. Will have some screenshots of this great new scenery by ES within the next few weeks.
Again, AI usage is covered in that tweak link I gave. I tend to have mine either off or at 100%, but that is mainly for small airports or if I want to take screenshots, as it does hit the FPS pretty hard.
As for the C-130 package, I already got it and it is superb:
I hope the info I wrote will help.
I thought some of the textures looked awful, for example snow textures on the ground.

Tried to get some action shots so i set fraps to take a screenie every 60 seconds as every 10 made the game feel jerky. Didnt get many good shots, lots of walls and menus.
@1920x1200 (resized to 1200x750) DX10 medium settings with 2xAA 8xAF HBAO off and bloom off.
Really like that last shot, catches the feeling of the game. Exerything around you exploding and your just legging it!
