Just found this announcement from MS for DirectX 11.2. In the video the demo looks to me very similar to MSFlight. I searched for more pictures and videos and this led me to my assumption.

What do you think ?

 

 

 

 

 

 

I see a rather dull tech demo with some weird space-glider and slightly lazy ground textures. Nothing that looks remotely like a new flight simulator.

 

Although the water is quite nice...

yeah great water

 

although the constant circling of the view around the aircraft is enough to make u go giddy

The sky and water environment does in fact look like MS Flight. I do not know about the scenery though. They may not be creating a new version of MS Flight. They may have just used THE MS Flight for the demo.

It says in the video that it is made by a Belgium company, so there is nothing in there related to Flight or a future version of Flight.

The guy says it's build by a Belgium game company, so no it's not Flight 2.0 neither is it FS XI. Besides that it's a demo. I remember the promising demo's of both X and FS2004. It means nothing.

The demo is by Graphine, a European company....NOT Microsoft, and it's specifically aimed at the future of DirectX allowing computers to graphically display massive amounts of graphic data (in this instance over 32GB) using some kind of tiled or tiling architecture.  As the MS guy said in the first video, it will eventually allow even more photo-realistic graphics for gaming.

It actually looks like the virtual texture tech developed by iD for RAGE. I watched the video with the slightly jaded appreciation of a person (who has seen it all before) seeing a huckster diligently plying his trade of selling old fish for fresh.  ^_^
