Over at another forum, someone said that the first Flight newsletter was sent out the day the screenshots were posted. I am subscribed, but I have not received one.Has anyone else who is subscribed not received one yet?

That is correct, there wasn't really much to it however. Here is a screenshot for those who didn't get it:

I never got any notice of the screen shots either even though I am registered/subscribed.

I have been subscribed, but never received this email notice...

Was that the entire newsletter? Where are these new postings to be found on the flight website, can you post some links?edit: ignore... i see the new "news" posting.

Still no newsletter or insider info from the dev. team. Two months and counting...

Microsoft news from the development team says "One topic that has been voiced is the concern over online game play. We understand some people are worried that featuring Microsoft Flight on Games for Windows – LIVE will require you to always be connected online to play. Not true. Rest assured that you can play offline if you choose. We hope that you will find the connected experience to be more enjoyable and immersive. But to be clear, the choice will be all yours."For someone who's flight sim computer is not hooked up to the internet (that would be me), this is great news!!Also the new pictures look fantastic! If they can get the whole world looking like this I wouldn't be needing Orbx or GEX.Regards, Mike Mann

They've just added new screenshots to the website. Those look very good, especially the airport shot!http://www.microsoft.com/games/flight/

Hi guys,I've merged all the topics about today's (very good ) news.Please use it for MS annoucement and new pictures.Thx!

Also the new pictures look fantastic! If they can get the whole world looking like this I wouldn't be needing Orbx or GEX.

Until you see how a company like Orbx vastly improves the Flight environment. New platform, new possibilities :( But I have to agree; these shots from Flight look very good!

Hm, I can't say I am overwhelmed by the new January screenshots... Actually, the autogentrees, which stick out way too obvious, don't impress me at all. Ok, it's better than FSX default... but it doesn't surpass anything I've got right now...

The lighting effects on the new pics are great. :smile:It's great that they addressed the issue about the net not being being nessary to run Flight. However, the still have not addressed add-ons/freeware/a SDK etc and IMO, are advoiding it.So, I just e-mailed them about the issue outlining my/our concerns about it.Anyone want to give odds about an actual reply? :(

What concerns me about the latest screenshots are that they have an overall cartoonish look, rather than a photographic look...
