Saaaaweeeeeeeeeeettttttttttt!!! One of the biggest irks I've had with Flight sim is complete lack of detail to cities and roads. Downloading scenery packs such as Holger Sandmann's rocky mountain scenery's really make this evident. Glad they're gonna do it right this time! I was previously not planning on buying FSX, as it didn't look like that big of a step up from FS2004. But if they can pull this off, it's definatly a deal maker for me!
