Actually, I have designed a web site. Many years ago. After I was diagnosed with Leukaemia. Kind of an educational web site. So I do know what I'm talking about. When did I criticize it? Again, I said it looks like concept art. I fail to see why this is so hard to understand. It's my opinion. Just like you have an opinion on x plane and it's screenshots. Surely you're not saying you can have an opinion and I can't? Unless you're just looking for a debate. If you interpret "concept art" to mean "it sux", then that is an issue you have to deal with yourself.Making it a personal attack? In future, you might want to think before you post.I don't recall being concerned about anything. You are.Umm, you can't find that 737 in X Plane 10. As you said earlier, what does that have to do with anything?

No personal attack whatsoever. Feel free to call my ignorance on medieval weaponry.And you you realise that people can actually go back and read your posts?

ummm, what?!?!

And you you realise that people can actually go back and read your posts?

ok?

Sure. And violate the trust that was imposed on me.I don't think so, BenMove forward.

-You get in an argument with someone and then you create excuses when your reasoning is questioned.Excuses.... Excuses.....

What has that got to do with anything?Have you ever designed a website? Do you have any idea what you're talking about?Given that dozens of better quality scenery screenshots have been released by Microsoft, and several pictures of exactly the same plane, what expectations are going to be broken? The background image is of a worse quality than any other screenshot which has been released, and is entirely intentional. I'm not sure how you can compare the above image to that on the Flight website. I guess it just confirms your ignorance.Since you're so concerned, can you tell me where I can find this plane in XP10?;

Yup. Nailed it.

pray tell us your story of the "magic screenie"?as one who was there, and actually designed and delivered the D3D10 update for FSX, I can count myself as an authority who can weigh in on the veracity of what you state.and let me again state that when discussing the "magic screenies" it is unseemly to "forget" the studio issued an apology for releasing them when we released information on the D3D10 update. acting like we just put those concept shots out there and never talked to it after that is flat out false.

You're right....NOW TIME FOR SOME

This is true. Overall, ACES and the Flight Sim franchise has had a stellar reputation for almost 30 years. To think people would forget all that over 1 error is unreasonable.Again, MS didnt release this Flight image as a screenshot, so dont take it as one. Just like the 737 photo image is not an XP10 screenshot.http://iblueyonder.wordpress.com/2007/10/03/the-final-word-on-fsx-and-dx10/That has a general overview of the "magic screenshot" drama plus Phil's blog post about it. Lets move on.

So... did the page and a half of argument solve anything, or was this another puerile attempt for some to jam their so called "inside knowledge" down the throats of others?Sounds like the damned debate about Tim Tebow... Bottom line... QUIT CRYING ABOUT IT, fire up the Sim, and go FLY!

Bottom line... QUIT CRYING ABOUT IT, fire up the Sim, and go FLY!

We could have a tea-party in Redmond? You in?

Where can I buy THAT sim? The night lighting looks better than I have ever seen in a sim.

...it's called XPX, Jim.

You're right....NOW TIME FOR SOME

What's wrong here?Do you have a fetish for tea or something?

You know the feeling.How does “Microsoft Flight” differ from “Flight Simulator?” Why the new name? What’s changed? A:Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Wow, XPX has landmarks as part of the default cities?

Nah... More or less to supress
