I want to say a few things 2
first things first: Its good to hear that you are not asking for a torrent link. (that makes me happy

)
And a few quotes. (I do not want to start a fpsc X9/10 war or something)
I just want to point some things out.
Quote: "Now days with all free updates and custom shaders you can make your fpsc 9 look better than fpsc 10 does."
That is NOT a fact. I think thats not true because fpsc X10 usus Pixelshader 4.0, and X9 usus PS 2 and 3 (or even below ?) Yes it is TRUE that fpsc X9 has more shadders at the moment but that doesn't mean that the games actually look better. this is just my view. And I respect yours to.
Quote: "9 got more custom content. There are 60 model packs for fpsc but only few of them works with x10."
This is NOT true. You can convert every modelpack to X10. If you know what you're doing. You can make every single piece of custom content fpsc X10 ready.
Quote: "custom shaders that don't work in 10."
You can convert those shader to Pixelshader 4. So you can make them work. (It has been done before)
---------------------
Raxmux is right about the fact that Fpsc X10 is not beeing supported by the game creators anymore. But it is supported by the fpsc X10 community. maybe you have heard of mystic mod ? (first mod for fpsc X10)
@Raxmux
I don't want to insult you. (never wanted to) I just wanted to point some things out.

I respect your view over X10 2.
--------------------
Okay, now one more thing. I personally think you should buy X10 because:
1. If you buy X10 you get X9 for free !
2. The fpsc X10 community is very nice (I personally think that they are nicer then the X9 community users )
3. one BIG feature of X10 that X9 doesn't have is that you can have as many characters as you want. here, check this out.

well... I think thats it for now. Again, I'm NOT trying to start a fpsc X9/10 war. I'm just pointing out my view. If anyone does not agree with me. Then I have no problem with that. Lets just keep it friendly.
Cheers
