Come on Chris, how can you make a claim like that just by looking at the screenshot?I posted the same link in another thread and I was more impressed with the variable visibility along the horizon. It looks like precipitation is falling from the clouds reducing visibility, but I can't be sure of that from looking at the screenshot.Let's try to be objective about the new release and not make claims we can't prove. That's how hype gets started.

Ouch! Did I say we should not expect major improvements in the graphics section? A M A Z I N G!!! WOW!Just on my way to get some sleep. But just like yesterday, I'll lie awake for some time and think about the new sim. Crazy, isn't it? ;)Bye,VOlker :]

Soooooooo i'm not crazy after all :-) I am having the same problem when trying to view the pics at gamespot also. Kinda weird becasue I can view them fine on my other box... I have been sitting here for the past 45 minutes thinking something was wrong with my rig and trying to fix it.. LOLAlso some of the graphics on the actual gamespot website are not displaying correctly and have a red X on them...I'm still trying to fix it! Any other ideas?

That one's no better - still no pictures. I guess I'll wait for the Avsim preview...Cheers,Gosta.http://hifi.avsim.net/activesky/images/wxrebeta.jpg

Hi Chris,I can see the thumbnails, but they all have a little red 'x' in them, and when I click on them, it just opens a bigger frame with a red 'x' in it.As you can see the pictures, it's probably my security settings, rather than a dead link. Well, the site looks like it's cookie- and pop-up heaven, so I guess I'll just steer clear of it...Cheers,Gosta.http://hifi.avsim.net/activesky/images/wxrebeta.jpg
