Check out these videos about FSX on gamespot.com.http://www.gamespot.com/pc/sim/microsoftfl...torx/media.html

Developer Product Manager mentions Clouds Shadows !!!!! Yeah!

Cloud shadows? Did someone say cloud shadows!?As a 'hardcore eye-candy devotee', that would be nice.

On the longer video, you can see lotsof birds flying around the ship and fish jumping out of the water ......I just wish they would show video instead of the guys talking! They should can that music on these interviews ... I can barely hear the guy talk

He did say cloud shadows, they also mentioned multi-threading and double-core CPUs. However none of this was stated in such a way as that this was going for sure to happen in FSX - merely they are "looking" at them. But for me the most important thing I heard was that the "PC gaming was not dead".Michael J.http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/pmdg_744F.jpghttp://sales.hifisim.com/pub-download/asv6-banner-beta.jpg

From a reply by a developer after I mentioned cloud shadows elsewhere, it might have been that he was just talking about Direct X 10 in general .

"fish jumping out of the water ....."WOW that was unexpected for Flight Sim but congratulations for a REALLY NICE TOUCH! I can't tell from the video if they are dolphins or not.Carmine http://forums.avsim.net/images/wave.gifhttp://img155.imageshack.us/img155/7118/phoenixtp8mg.jpg

Anyone spot the car driving down the road...I hope it was or my eyes are going screwy...

Did I say "cloud shadows"? Oops. Must have been delerious after a week in Vegas.

Dolphins, actually.

No need for the optometrist. Cars, trucks, boats...

Yeah, I gotta go back and listen to what I said. Something that's possible but not for sure.

Does it mean the old prohibition on Microsft's stuff posting on this forum is gone (I am not complaining)? Sorry if this is a very naive question.Michael J.http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/pmdg_744F.jpghttp://sales.hifisim.com/pub-download/asv6-banner-beta.jpg

LOL, tdragger, you're having too much fun with this! You guys deserve it, though. The new sim (even as young as it is) looks terrific.Good on ya, :-beerchug GregP.S. Was over at Steve's blog a bit earlier... tell him that town isn't called "Lost Wages" for nothin'.

:)Where abouts are these dolphins? I downloaded the 60MB video and watched closely but I don't see them. I can see the cars and birds..John.
