I wonder if the shadows over mountains are baked from the aerial imagery or are they dynamic

It's nice to see MSFS/Asobo leak user Alpha screenshots 🙂 It's a joke, but pretty funny, I think 🙂 Once again nice work MSFS Team!

Based on what we've seen of the lighting engine thus far, I would like to think (hope) that they're dynamic.

Man I want to fly all the planes, but especially that TBM 930 with the G3000! So the snow on the mountain(s), is that what Bing and Azure is providing from satellite? Just curious! Or are my eyes bad and it is NOT snow?

Seeing actual gameplay photos, I just can say that I can't wait to try this sim! looks fantastic even at alpha!

VFR is going to be so much fun this time.

 

Oh, happy holidays you too Asobo/MS

Absolutely incredible screen shots. This looks like the real deal. Take my money.

The last screenshot of the update... is that Silverstone?
 

Silverstone! That's it. 

I really suck with race track names, except for Donnington Park, but only because I've been there.

Really nice screenshots though I want to see more of the UK, particularly Lands End (EGHC).

I wonder if the ATC on the glacier screenshot is from a tutorial/mission, or if it is the real deal...

[andyjohnston.net 617]

Interesting, though I'd also like to see some cities ;)

ATC has been a confirmed feature for a while now. They have said they have the FSX one already ported in.
