amazing job! -
Prepar3d 2.0 looks so much better between the two video's.

Google is probably the only company that could afford the code from Microsoft, combine Flight with Google Earth, add Sketch up 3D models and make the planet look truly lifelike. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Google-can-save-flight-simming/391373234250032?ref=hl if you think that it is a good idea, tell me so on the facebbok page, i know people who dont think it is a good dont need an invatation to say that , lol.

Years ago I asked Ray to make a small airport for me because i didnt know the first thing about it. He told me I would have more fun making them on my own and he was 100% right. I learned how to use a lot of great freeware that allowed me to make stock FSX airports look more like the real thing. He was also one who was always willing to give his time when i had questions. Thank you Ray. Kyle

I have used FSGenesis for years and thought it made a world of difference. But i have to say FSGlobal looks good as well.

So MS comes out with flight saying it is a way to introduce more people to the world of flying. What if they take the best of FSX and Flight and make it into FS11 for the more serious flight sim audience? Flight could still be there to bring in the casual flyer who is looking for for fun missions and what not, and as those people learn and want more out of it, they can them move onto FS11. You could have the two products side by side, one as a free download and the other as a download or boxed store version like FSX was.It could happen, I dont know if it would or not, but it could.Kyle

The KSEA area is tough on a lot of computers and some of your components are probably not helping ( W#indows 32bit will only use 2 Gb of RAM even though you have 4 GB for example)The PNW scenery manual has suggestions for the levels to use based on your computer specs and so lowering the autogen a little may help. But also try flying out of Bowerman, Orbx just released amazing free airport scenery for the airport and it seems to be pretty easy on the frame rates and looks stunning.

REX was trying to get cloud shadows to work but for now has placed it in a "to do" pile.http://realenvironmentxtreme.com/forum/index.php?topic=15409.0

Hey Phil, nice to see you around but too bad you still have to defend a decision MS made 5 years ago. No wonder developers dont like talking about stuff sometimes.

Trying to get beck to the OP, the thing that would make me switch right away would be that MS releases a good product that works well for my system from day one and as my system gets better or as add on's are released that may require more power then my computer and flight can grow together. There seems to be strong opinions about what Flight will be, what is will do, what it cant do, and such. I hope that Flight is not backwards comparable scenery wise. I do admit I was glad that FSX was able to use FS9 AI models but that had its negative side as well, textures dont work in DX10 preview mode, some propellers showed as black discs, and the day of the week issue needed to be adjusted. not big deal things but I am sure there will be a version of WOAI for Flight someday, just like there will be tons of free addons for scenery.

true mad dog but VOX doesnt handle AI traffic as far I was told and Radar Contact is months behind version 5 which was going to add VFR to it. If REX is making an ATC addon and it has moved ahead of both of these competitors, then I'll buy it.Kyle -
Ethan, the reason you see the people walking in loops is because with FSX, you can only have them do a 60 second walking routine, then they repeat it. It is just the way FSX is made.Kyle

An option to use satellite imagery
c152flyboy replied to tronied's topic in Microsoft FLIGHT Archive
I think that flight simulator's in general will someday go this route but I dont see it happening with MS Flight or X-plane 10. When you look at Google buildings in 3D with textures and from any angle or height, it does look very impressive and I can imagine, as bandwidth gets faster and HD space get cheaper, that this could be a possibility for most. Of course if you look at how big one photo scenery airport can be, into the mid double digit MB size, try doing that for the planet and see how may 100's of TB's of HD space you would need.Now if you want satellite scenery for the whole USA today there is a company that will send it to you on a USB 3.0 external HD for about $150 right now but there is no autogen with that so no 3D objects. -

if it is an ATC product from REX, i will be sure to buy it. It is something that FSX lacks and REX makes a great product.kyle -
one thing that would be important to know is what type of aircraft you are flying and also if you are flying in VFR or IFR conditions. lets look at a basic high performance single engine aircraft in VFR conditions for this example. when you are downwind from the landing and abeam the runways numbers, you would do your first notch of flaps and lower the landing gear. turning base you would use your 2nd notch of flaps and check to make sure your gear is down, and turning final you would use your 3rd notch of flaps and again check your landing gear is in the down position. this is a very simplified version but that is the just of it. If you were flying in IFR condition and flying an ILS approach, a general thought would be 1st notch of flaps over the outer marker, 2nd over the middle and 3rd as you exit into VFR conditions while the gear would come down at the outer marker i think. ( it has been a real long time since i shot an actual IFR ILS approach ) If you are flying a B737 this is obviously going to be different.Kyle
