February 18, 201115 yr Hey guys,Microsoft has posted this new webisode of "Flight" to their showcase. I don't know if it'll be on the actual Flight website itself, but nevertheless, enjoy!http://www.microsoft.com/showcase/en/us/details/098672e6-98fc-43b6-92f5-b424696e40ccPersonally I love the new mountain scenery but I want to start seeing more than just scenery, such as atmosphere, airliners, etc.What are your thoughts?

February 18, 201115 yr I know Microsoft & Google aren't the best of friends but, would it be too much to ask that they set up a MSFlight Youtube channel? Either that or develop a Silverlight plug-in for Android? Really don't want to head downstairs at 4:50am (GMT) :(Edit: I'll let you know my thoughts after some well needed kip. (not that there's much point, nearly daytime here in Blighty)
February 18, 201115 yr Looks like FSX to me, same autogen popping! This is obviously an updated FSX and not a new engine. Matthew S
February 18, 201115 yr Commercial Member Saw this video a few days ago.I think Flight is looking great...the water, trees and their shadows, ground textures, aircraft shadowing...it's all awesome! :(@MatthewS: Flight is in development...I'm sure they are working on the scenery engine still.

February 18, 201115 yr Looks awesome to me. I'm really looking forward to this. My CH products yoke and pedals are at the ready!
February 18, 201115 yr Looks great, dense auto-gen, realistic textures, they seem to be taking their time with development which is good. I do have one complaint thoug, who chose the music! it's casiorific.
February 18, 201115 yr What are your thoughts?I like what I see. great terrain. wonderful water. looks promising Phil Leaven i5 10600KF, 32 GB 3200 RAM, ASUS 4070 12GB EVO, Asus ROG Z490-H, 2 WD Black NVME for each Win11 (500GB) and MSFS (1TB), Rolling Cache 16GB, Photogrammetry always OFF, Live Weather and Live Traffic always ON, Res 2560x1440 on 27"
February 18, 201115 yr After 5 years I'll just take it for the fact it was compiled with dx11 and windows 7 in mind. I can't wait to see the disappointed face on XP users.
February 18, 201115 yr Looking good, but I'm growing a little weary of Hawaii. Need to see some urban areas, or maybe rural areas that FSX decided were deserts.

February 18, 201115 yr I can't wait to see the disappointed face on XP users.I've read this several times and am curious. Are you saying it will make you happy for folks to be disappointed? Perhaps I did not read this right, and if so, I apologize. I hope Flight will run on XP even if I don't get all the bells and whistles. I look forward to this as to all of them.My first was some twenty five years back and over the years each release has brought me something new. My current computer is doing just fine for normal uses and runs FSX with many sliders way to the right. If it gets me some improvement and I can crank up the weather (now I really get low FPS with heavy weather) I will be happy.PhillPS - I may have fifteen years or only a couple of years left, so yes I hope it's released soon. :(

Why would you want see fellow simmers disappointed.Very strange.Andy
February 18, 201115 yr I agree with you Phil. Why would you want see fellow simmers disappointed.Very strange.AndyI think maybe what veeray was digging at is that software development (in this case FLIGHT) is often held back by the need to be backwards compatible.Bryan.

I say I'm going to enjoy it because when it comes time I'm sure people will come up with the wild and clever complaints on why their 10 year OS should run the latest Windows titles.
