Hopefully before I'm to old to see it.

This realtime engine is for architectural visualization, but I felt the rendering quality is so amazing and someone can use it for flightsim?

 

Have you guys seen the DX11 water demo? If not, here it is:

Seems that no one in the U.S. is allowed to see this demo.

DX11 and, for that matter, DX10, was not implemented in Flight simply because the user base at the time of development would not support them. Just a year ago, half the world's PCs were still running Windows XP, and this means necessarily DX9. Even today, fully a third of the world's computers (not counting Macs and workstations of course) are still running Windows XP.

 

Implementing DX10 would have meant cutting out half the potential market from the start. No getting around that.

 

Best regards.

True, but the rate of adaptation among likely users is high and growing higher at a very very rapid clip. At least according to steam.

 

I admit to having no clue about Avsim users, but I have not seen a DX9 card in years, and as you can see, steam users would laugh at the very idea.

Several months ago, I posted links in the XPX forum to working tech demos of true volumetric clouds and also a water tech demo that people could play with. At this point the tech is pretty mature, and at the time I was looking at the XPX implementation. Playing with them again, fiddling with the weather and other parameters, they still seem very efficient and compact.
