"INCREDIBLE" attention to detail on the buildings and various edifices. The cities do not look like "common autogen". Needless to say, I'm excited about FSX and just can't wait to get it on my computer and DELETE FS9.

From the shots we've seen, they have yet to improve their autogen textures. Still, 11 months to go.

That last cessna shot (Looking from the rear) is incredible, those rivets and paint look so much more real than what we currently see in FS9. WOW....[h4]Randy J.

Thanks for posting these. Very cool depiction of Mt. Ste. Michele!One thing that looks peculiar....on the fourth shot down, on the right, do the autogen trees look way out of scale with the vehicular traffic on the expressway?

Still,>11 months to go.The interesting question for all of these shots is: Are those sceneries included in the product ot is Microsoft simply showing it off using 3rd party stuff?I must admit that trying to patch a decent virtual world together, is a trial-and-error exercise I could live without (varying payware quality, difficulty making it all work nicely together etc). Personally, I would gladly pay another $100 to get a whole world in one product. That way I could actually fly rather than downloading another little piece of "world" to do it in.

"The interesting question for all of these shots is: Are those>sceneries included in the product ot is Microsoft simply>showing it off using 3rd party stuff?"Ummm... why would we do that? Of course, if we *were* using 3rd party stuff, it'd be in the product, which would mean that it's no longer 3rd party, but first party...Cheers,Jason
