My body almost transferred itself to the floor after reading your second line.

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That screenshot is not official and even if it was, it simply shows some brightened colors, nothing more.

Jamie gave a link DIRECTLY to the image which was uploaded to the MS Flight website image directory. How is that not official? Are you blind?!LINK>>> https://www.microsoft.com/games/flight/img/page-bkgd-home_holiday_preview.jpg <<<LINK

People are such skeptics there like"NOOOOOOOO ITS NOT MICROSOFT!!!!!! NOOOOOOOO NOOOOO YOU'RE WRONG I KNOW EVERYTHING!!!!!!

Yeah it's official, an official embarrassment, my one year old nephew could do better.

THAT IS, is if he was under the influence of tea?? Eh?

The fact that people are even considering this an unaltered in-game screenshot illustrates the absolute insanity that the entire MS Flight "discussions" have turned into.Ooh - it's a image on Microsoft's site - IT MUST BE FROM THE GAME!Ooh - they're only showing Hawaii - IT MUST BE FULLY SET IN HAWAII!Ooh - they're integrating Live for Windows - IT MUST BE ONLINE ONLY!!Ooh - they removed the word simulator - IT MUST BE A "GAME" ONLY!!You're nuts. You're all nuts.

You're nuts. You're all nuts.

Not totally nuts, but the kind of nuts you might eat while drinking tea.

I think people DO need to realise that this is a splash screen - it is not a screenshot on the Flight website - it is actually covered in text. To get it in the form posted in this thread several times you have to go to the page source and find the image manually.Most likely the background is intentionally edited for stylistic purposes. If you have a detailed photo as a background then whatever you put in front of it is going to clash.

Ehehe you seem a lost man in the desert believing god will bring you an oasis plenty of fresh water and covers against the hot sun.It is called " hallucination " by excessive exposure to MS marketing mantras. You know the feeling

The 'joke,' is nothing to do with his opinion - it's in his berating of those who dare to post anything but a shining assessment of XP10's demo, then the hypocrisy to do exactly the opposite in regards to MS Flight based on a website splash page.

You obviously haven't read all my posts. The ones where I have criticisms of X Plane. And the ones where I commend others on their HONEST criticisms of X Plane. I have also seen that you have relentlessly criticized X Plane, but I have not seen any criticisms from you about Flight. Yet I make a few posts about a "picture" of Flight that looks like concept art, which it does (I never said it was crap) and you blow a head gasket.And you call ME hypocritical?Hilarious.
