It's not certain until confirmed. Microsoft have a history of playing tricks on simmers.

Your eyes are not lying to you. Whats in the videos and pictures are not 2D sprites. Period. It's just not.

Thanks for that, from now on I will refrain from taking you seriously.

Exactly. I mean, volumetric clouds are common in open world games these days. Some of our members need to free themselves from the shackles of the past. The Barcelona vid is more than enough for anyone to see that the clouds are volumetric.

I think there is a coded message also: trees can sway in the wind and potentially fall over.

Now let's all go crazy speculating on the game engine some more. 🙂

Microsoft playing tricks on simmers ? But I hope so ! I don't expect less !

This is what simulation is all about 😂 ! Smoke and mirrors, illusions, make believe.

I don't have time to explain the notorious DX10 screenshot, but yes there were tricks believe me.

Thought you'd mention that. Yeah that wasn't a trick, its called a target render and never a guarantee. In any case they never got to do anything with DX10 since the team got dissolved. MS has been showing us media of MSFS warts and all. If they were really trying trick us do you really thing they'd have those weird looking photogrammatry trees in the trailers and screenshots? Come on now.

I think it's best to just ignore the trolls at this point. I've already been told to go learn the basics of flight sim even though I've been simming for 11 years. It's just not worth arguing with the negative people. Elitism seems to overrule any form of logic and mature discussion here.

This thread is quickly getting further and further off topic. IMO we should try to get back on topic before it gets closed.

Please rein it in. Back on topic. We are not discussing artist renderings or any of the other comments that aren't about sloped runways. 

Thank you.

Being the OP, I think that it has run its course as MS has answered and could be closed. Not much else to say on the topic IMHO.

Sadly I have to agree. Topic locked due to being answered by Microsoft. 

Thank you.
