My wow moment was flying on k-bay. Having lived there, I flew by my old house and the hangars. I do wish I had a better performing computer to experience the lighting and shading. I hope my next wow moment is hovering in a helicopter or flying a twin engine aircraft

Been a while but my first WOW!! moment lasted atleast a couple weeks... I was madly in love with Flight. The aircraft, the scenery, and especially the feeling of flight and the weather environment,which in my view well surpasses that of FSX. Bought everything, apart from the cockpitless aircraft and actually enjoyed myself more than i did with FS9 or FSX.

 

My deluxe WOW!! moment came during the 'Mobile Observatory' Mission in the RV-6. Struggling thru the murk to get above the deck, trying to keep the plane flying and level. I had never seen such an amazingly realistic rendition of clouds and rags of mist whizzing by the canopy in my whole 20 years as a simpilot. I was so overwhelmed and occupied by the feeling of flying an aeroplane that i didn't get to see ' the rare event ' but i didn't care. This extraordinairy MSFlight experience was more than enough 'rare event' for me. ( i did the mission over again and this time *did* get to see it.. )

 

For a while now my interest in Flight has died down, mainly because of the, to me, meaningless warbirds without a cockpit. I'm waiting with bated breath for Alaska and can only hope that the MSFlight devs come to their senses and give us an all singing and dancing Beaver and/or Otter to explore and enjoy it. I'm sure plenty of WOW!! moments will then come my way again.

 

Cheers,

I guess my wow moment is a work in progress. Being an avid gamer, I am used to cutting edge and state of the art visuals. Those visuals rarely make it to flight sims. God knows why, but they just don't. Hearing about a new sim, I was eager to see if Microsoft would build on its established legacy while taking the opportunity to visually blow our socks off.

 

I remain impressed by the potential. Flight pushes an absolutely enormous amount of polygons and does it very smoothly. The flight models are good, the planes are well done, and the lighting can be stunning. Still, what impresses me the most at this early stage is the of number polygons being pushed and what all that horsepower might one day be made to do.

 

I dream of flying over New York at night at 30 stutterless fps.

 

Flight fully realizing that latent potential will be the real "Wow" moment for me.

Have yet to have one. It's ok... it can be fun, sometimes. But... sorry, no 'wow' for me at this time.
