Rather, the reason that I think only Hawaii is being shown is the team is building a simulation engine, some parts from old code, some from new, and some from refactored code and are using Hawaii as the test environment as it has most of the features that other parts of the world would contain. Once they achieve target performance with the different engine components built, then the rest of the world would fill in, which would include landclass, mesh, autogen vegitation and structures, static structures, etc. The team is likely already working on many of those pieces for other parts of the globe and once the performance is optimal in the test environment then everything else would get put together and we should start to see images accordingly.

At long last someone makes a sensible comment about the reason why Hawaii is the only area being shown.

JETS! They need to show jets and more planes, along with scenery OTHER THEN HAWAII

I bet you all 1 teabag we will get more than Hawaii in the next update.Thanksgiving is a special time of year, albeit I'm not American. And special times deserve special updates.

I'll take your bet, and I'll raise you a teaspoon of coffee they'll stick with Hawaii. I expect they'll want to maintain their present focus, and I doubt you'll see much else before RTM.

I would expect that they do a webisode this month, as they seem to follow an every-4-month pattern.I'm not sure why not to expect an update, as they've had them each month since September. They promised another update for October, we got one, so November should see an update.

Well, you have 21 calendar days to wait (or 15 business days), including the Thanksgiving Holiday, which will be a three day weekend.Please do not hold your breath, hold bill payments or refrain from feeding your children while waiting for the next Update... that would be pretty messy.When (or if) the Update shows up on the MS Flight website, then you will know that one was released.Alan

Ummm...OK. Not really sure what the point of that was. I'm not an idiot.

Never thought, or by extension insinuated that you were, Brandon.Everyone has either complained about excessive speculation or the propensity of "tea" posts, so I thought I wouldstate some general facts that could not be considered either as speculation or having to do with tea.Alan.

Those aren't new.

Frack, a dodgy link to a site that talks about them being new! sorry guys, I thought they looked too similar! Good, I'm sure they'll wow us soon, maybe the 15th..

Now that's enough of this, sometimes I wonder about this forum when I start seeing facts being posted.

There is an old saying "Better to keep your mouth shut and be thught a fool than to open it and prove you are one."

Bet you wish you had spelt that correctly now you fool!
