Microsoft have just released the same view in nice weather... Actually this one doesn't look as realistic... 😁

I meant SDK

I keep getting confused between SDK, THC, CBD....

It's not only the elevators, the rudder looks odd too, but the left aileron and both flaps are really bad, which is strange because the fuselage seems to be very realistic. 

Comparing the TMB wing and tail trailing edges with their 208 trailing edges, I don't think the TBM model is finished.

It looks like the shot has a slight bit of fisheye to me - one of shots or videos from a few weeks back looked the same. Almost like a virtual GoPro effect.

That is excellent!

I think we're gonna like the new sim.

True, but the water looks much more realistic in the sim 🙂

You are not far off. We prefer to see the world through the Hollywood lenses than our own eyes 😏

But honestly... I'd rather see greens (grass and bushes) along runways,  taxiways or dirtstrips. We are not expecting the new Elder Scrolls episode here  but a flight simulator. I doubt that I will ever walk on the Rue de la Croix Paqueray but I know that I will take off from Granville LFRF which is about 8 nm to the North.

Maybe the time has come to focus the scenery teasers a little more on aviation ?

I couldn't disagree with that more.  Flying around along the ground is one of my favorite things to do.   To me that's the best way to experience flight.

I couldn't enlarge it, but looks real to me.
