March 8, 201214 yr Hi allI think that the scenery in FLIGHT is generally quite impressive, despite the poor performance provided by my low end video card.In particular, the waterfalls are well done. But, as far as I can see the waterfalls are the only moving things in the landscape. I was sort of hoping that there might be the odd active volcano with lava fountains and moving lava flows etc but I have not seen anything so far. Should I keep looking or do we have to wait for some more DLC I wonder?
March 8, 201214 yr I flew over one area and you could see the steam coming out and also hear the sounds as well, Look for an aerocache mission called Geologically Active.

March 8, 201214 yr The second hoop course I did had me flying low over lava: I did the challenge at night and could see red hot lava and it was even animated (red stuff 'blobbing up' or however you say that in English).
March 8, 201214 yr Accidently flew over some vulcano acticity today!Here is a shot of how it looks:And here is where it was:
March 8, 201214 yr Fly low over it or land and walk to it and listen to the sounds.Hook Larry Hookins Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of EarthAnd danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
March 9, 201214 yr It would be great if they also modeled "vog" - volcanic fog. I remember this being a problem when I was in HI, my flight back to HNL from Hilo was even delayed because of it. I believe its caused by the gases in the volcanic eruption reacting (or is it interacting?) with the moisture in the air and also the lava flowing into the ocean.

March 9, 201214 yr In term of landscape animation, there is also some smoke from industries stack here and there around honolulu. And the treee that are moving in strong wind.. PierreP3D when its freezing in Quebec....well, that's most of the time...C-GDXL based at CYQB for real flying when its warming up...
March 9, 201214 yr I find the Flight smoke effects strangely primitive. As with some of the clouds, it seems hard to believe they could not have done better. We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically...... To the rest of the Universe atomically.

March 9, 201214 yr Author Found it as last. Better than I expected. Like the way the lava crumbles and tumbles. Helps bring Hawaii to life. Good one MS.
March 9, 201214 yr I landed in the caldera yesterday. Descended right through the lava to a hard surface a few feet below, then took off again.
