November 4, 201114 yr Great review. I am a bit disspointed by the one and only "detailed" airport (KSEA).I would have expected a couple so that we can hop for fun from the start but this will do OK as long as we can get some more later.Good read!
November 4, 201114 yr I am excited to get back into the XP world as I left it last Feb. The MU shots make me dearly miss that bird. Cannot wait for the new XP and new MU2. Now lets just hope our computers can handle all these new toys and it comes out in time for XMAS! i7 950 OC 4ghz - GTX 570 Superclocked - X58 Sabertooth - 1 TB HD - 12gb RAM - Saitek Flight yoke, throttle quadrants, rudder pedals.

November 4, 201114 yr Commercial Member Very informative. I do have a question though about a comment that Tom made regarding lights. Tom stated that the new lights in XP10 do not cast shadows, however, in this screen capture, I think I see a shadow of the doorknob on the left. Just wondering about that. By the way, this title looks great from what I have seen and I really appreciate the development teams effots. REX AccuSeason Developer REX Simulations
November 4, 201114 yr From another post, some don't care that a truck casts shadows so I wonder if they are going to care if a doorknob casts a shadow.I wonder if all the ants running around on the ground are going to cast shadows as well?
November 4, 201114 yr One default airport using the new technology? Huh?I guess I'm more confused then ever. So are the shots of the lego brick airport models that are so impressive, etc. just hypothetical pieces that 3rd party developers can use?They won't be used in how the base sims builds default airports?
November 4, 201114 yr I wonder if all the ants running around on the ground are going to cast shadows as well?No shadows, but each ant will make use of a full fledged Locomotion Model based on Blade Element Theory. "Society has become so fake that the truth actually bothers people".

November 4, 201114 yr Author Damn, I was hoping they had good AI too! Simmo W, Melbourne, Ozhttp://www.youtube.com/user/id5556
November 4, 201114 yr Darn it all. Well, I hope Flight has the ants because I have already requested cats and dogs.
