Good work Brandon, since FSx as the DX10 demo will it be possible for you to take the same FSX shots with DX10 and bloom enable just to compare with Flight?Thank you.

Thank you for the comparison shots!Question: Can you please identify where the sky color in Screenshot 6 for FSX came from? (Ref: waimeacanyon_sunset_fsx.jpg)The colors are beautiful and I'd like to duplicate them if possible.

And the Baytower Vans RV-7 in the fourth shot right?

Oh, right, that too.

In my experiences, the DX10 preview BARELY makes any visual difference except for solid, jagged cockpit shadows and slightly different water color, which wouldn't affect any of the shots very much except for the one of the Maule VC. And for bloom, well, the only shot it would affect is #6. I've already got REX re-installed into FSX, so undoing that and turning DX10 on, restarting FSX, and loading the flights again is too much work for such slight visual changes.

show us how slight they are.....

show us how slight they are.....

As subtle and slight as to what a burgundy wine would be to a clarat !Or from an Angling perspective a Bull Shark to a Zambeezi shark !

Say what?

Say what?

Slight... as in subtle, negligible, minor, not a factor.If that isn't sufficient, perhaps you should offer compensation to Brandon so he can essentially re-configure his Sim, just for some simulated screenshots of a Simulator that isn't even on the market yet...Maybe it's better to wait until the ACTUAL Sim is released and running on someone's system before attempting to compare screenshots to the identical shots in FSX; apples to apples, you know.JFC...

Outguessing MS is half the fun! :Big Grin:Cheers,- jahman.

Superb work as usual Brandon! Thanks for your efforts - I know how time consuming making those shots are!The cockpits are by far the greatest improvement. Also, the ocean looks better and the scale of the trees seems to be better. On the negative side, landclass seems to be indentical too FSX...

Say what?

Basically they are the same. Which was Brandons whole point. The wine bit might have confused you. But Alain really. A seasoned, grizzled,experianced old 'sea salt' like you who feels as much as home with a fishing line tied round his big toe, as he would with a joystick in his hand....I thought you would have worked the shark comparison out.

Hahaha, I did get it...I'm just trying to generate traffic on Avsim's forum......lol..about the wine, I prefer a good Margaux, Chateau Giscours it is, my favorate.Since you seems to like fishing I'll post some pics. of shark fishing soon, I just need to digg them up from the bottom of the pile.By the way I think there is a good difference between FSX DX9 and DX10, here is a small vid. I made farting around with FSX in DX10, nothing fancy..

Nothing different from my FSX setup using DX9 from what I can tell.

So I'm sure you'll be OK with Flight DX9 on XP.

I don't run Windows XP, so I don't have to worry about that.
