May FSX and Flight Comparison Screenshots
hisuleiman replied to HughesMDflyer4's topic in Microsoft FLIGHT Archive
Which of my responses was silly? By the way, you've agreed with my assessment that yours was (silly). Seems like you could only attack me rather than my words. If I were wrong, I would be corrected. Curious how that doesn't happen here..And also, who really thinks MS Flight looks worse than FSX out of the box? Don't think anyone believes that. Find me just one person.I guess you speak for everyone then? + don't care what anyone thinks; these are my opinions.Don't really know what I've said wrong in my post. -
May FSX and Flight Comparison Screenshots
hisuleiman replied to HughesMDflyer4's topic in Microsoft FLIGHT Archive
2006 vs. 2011--that's all. What a really silly statement. Replace "Flight" with "Madden": comparing the two, I would agree that [Madden 11] looks better out of the box [than Madden 06]. You cannot credit a new game for having better graphics than its predecessor made many years ago. Tired of responding to those type of comments. What should be compared is MS Flight vs. the possible capability in 2011. There are significant improvements but even more can be done/it does not match up to its potential (especially for the possibilities available today). Honestly, it looks like a game made in '08.MS Flight is not, by any means, bad; on the contrary, it's looking pretty good. I'm anxiously waiting for it (can't wait). I'll be one of the first to buy it. Really looking forward to better frames, no crashes/bugs, and 3rd party software. All I'm pointing out is it doesn't look "great;" there are areas that lack. Many really good ideas I've read will not be incorporated. It isn't some 'new-generation marvel' with the complete flight experience and environment as we had hoped, but it's a good step-up.MS Flight will likely hover around an 8.0 and will attract a mild audience of gamers. -
If you're asking, you're asking for too much. Good idea though.

Microsoft Flight - UK Release Nov 2011
hisuleiman replied to Mohawk200x's topic in Microsoft FLIGHT Archive
Highly doubt it'll be released this year. "Reasonable sources" can be wrong. The Devs themselves can be wrong. Pushing a release date back is not exactly far-fetched...especially at this game's early stage.Could be wrong (hope I am). -
Sure it looks "amazing" compared to a game made in 2006. Scenery looks average.Touché. But the "Windows 98 colors" statement was more of a joke. You missed the gist--the sentence before it."Nothing really new here" wasn't directed at the entire album, but just picture 5.

Looks good, not exceptional. 1: 7/10. Aircraft looks really good. Scenery looks average.2: 7.5/10. Building looks nice.3: 7.5/10. Impressed and not so impressed. The (further) skyscrapers tended to be bland rectangular prisms rather than believable buildings (almost as if their card driver crashed). Looks like they created a palette based on the colors from a Windows 98 desktop. However, the medium and smaller buildings really impressed me.4: 8.5/10. Everything looks pretty good.5: 8/10. Looks good. Nothing really new here. Still room to improve.

Good thought. Don't count on it though.

Is it me or do they look like re runs
hisuleiman replied to frankla's topic in Microsoft FLIGHT Archive
You people are absolutely ridiculous--and that's based on internet standards. OK, so Frankla's post was addressing Microsoft, came across on the whining side, and fed into your groundless stereotype that all we do is complain. But have you ever thought that maybe the actual substance of his post was legitimate before you bashed him?Even if his post wasn't, how about showing some respect?Frankla, I understand your point. IMHO I don't mind "re-runs" of Hawaii for now. As long as each batch of monthly pictures reveals more and more of MS Flight, which it arguably has been doing. Wouldn't waste any energy dwelling on this though. Stay patient and in due time we will see it all.JSkorna, you've been consistently disrespectful to anyone that doesn't share your opinion. -
I am most impressed with MS Flight
hisuleiman replied to SpiritFlyer's topic in Microsoft FLIGHT Archive
My apologies, I meant to say: it hardly had anything to do with one particular individual (in this context, the OP), but a general attitude. Half of the statement could apply to the OP--confident bandwagon of excitement--but I haven't observed him in a constant state of denial (or "doubtlessness") of all criticism, like I have of other members.Anyways, I didn't come back here to argue back-and-forth.I was actually trying to portray a positive, optimistic message; a former pessimist is now being more open-minded than he ever has . -

hisuleiman replied to SpiritFlyer's topic in Microsoft FLIGHT Archive
Some of you might remember me from my legitimate criticisms--whether you agreed or not--of MS Flight on a different thread. I've since decided to be generous, go against my instinct and experience, be open-minded, and give this game a chance to blossom.I cannot be sure that MS Flight will be disappointing (in the least) and you cannot be sure that MS Flight will be satisfactory (in the least). Therefore I will not be a cheerleader or basher, and I'll judge the game when the final product is released.But I expect you all to do the same. That means: be respectful to other people's concerns and criticisms. That means: answer questions with an open mind instead of an open &@($*. That means: drop the trash talk and sarcasm. Or maybe I'm just naive. Everyone has doubts. I don't buy the whole 'confident bandwagon of excitement and doubtlessness,' especially for hardcore simmers that are passionate about this subject. -
April Fools' Day Announcements Please

Charlie Sheen has taken the reigns of development. All aircraft will be fueled with tiger blood.Engines will be cigarettes.Pilot models will be rock stars from Mars. #winningduh -
Thank you for ridiculing an honest discussion. I'm also glad you found this debate amusing. Sometimes people just don't mature with age..Anyways, there are decent, respectable points on both sides. Guess we can just hope for the best, eh?

My god man! No one is saying MS Flight should be Crysis! Ultra high settings on Crysis and the game could hardly break playable frame-rates on the greatest of PCs; it's as extreme of an example as you can get. Games of the like focus on the most minuscule of details which would be utterly and completely unnecessary in a large-scale environment such as flight simulator. Why does it have to be either MS Flight or Crysis in your mind? If you can't recognize how low quality (/disappointing) a lot of the game aspects are, the potential it has/its need for more improvements, and that these more improvements won't turn your fps into Metro 2033 on very high settings, than nothing in the world can convince you otherwise. Basically, the terrain, effects, textures, etc. we see in MS Flight will be as good as they can offer. Really?

Before I begin, I'd like to thank all of you for your opinions and keeping this debate civilized. It's pretty shocking, and awesome, that I haven't been raged out of the forums yet (guess I've been on Rivals for too long). I honestly and sincerely hope that MS Flight turns out to be a fantastic game. I would still have FSX installed if it weren't for the inefficiency and the numerous bugs/crashes. Ended up spending more time searching, installing, and uninstalling programs than I did actually flying. But based on what I've seen of Flight, and my own experience following video games, the revamp that we were hoping for doesn't seem to be the case. I'm not the type to convince myself to like something that clearly lacks appeal. Assuming they're there, why is this so significant? Why do we keep dwelling on these soft shadows? It's like marketing a new smartphone for its internet capability. Soft shadows should be a given. Good on you for being appreciative of this but as a potential customer willing to drop $50 on their product, I expect more than peanuts. Yes, as I've mentioned earlier, the game is early in its development and still has room for improvement. But I wouldn't say it's far from definitive. Usually public screenshots like these are a pretty accurate representation of the final product. Or else, why would they release them to the public? Why would the developers release material that could possibly alienate its audience or at best stir doubt? They are trying to impress you! Actually, it may be misleading in the opposite respect. Plus, I've never seen a game that looked drastically more impressive than its early, in-game screenshots released to the public. As for your third paragraph, I couldn't have said it better than FlyinMisfit; that this argument has no bearing on what the graphics could look like. You would be right in stating that there are improvements in every aspect (MS Flight default vs. FSX default). No one, myself included, was ever really disagreeing with you there. I don't think you quite get it though. After witnessing massive graphical improvements and countless brilliant ideas shared around the community since 2006, many of us were foaming at the mouth in anticipation for this game. The game was also marketed in a way that played into our hopes and expectations--a new, revamped flying experience. MS Flight is not any of that; for lack of a better phrase, this was not the change we can believe in. This is more of the same with some peanuts.I'm actually getting a little tired hearing the excuse: it's better than FSX default. I sure as hell hope it is! FSX was made five years ago! I'll reiterate: this ocean does not impress me. If you want a decent ocean model look at Silent Hunter V (2010) (first to come to mind--could be better ones out there). Of course it does not need to be as intense. This couldn't be improved with a simple add-on on FSX? I believe, because you've been accustomed to the add-on business, you forgot the purpose of add-ons. Add-ons provide subtle improvements to the game (e.g. diverse ATC voices, not revamped ground textures cause the default ones are horrid). I shouldn't have to rely on them for a fulfilling flying experience. FYI a "wider audience" most definitely includes the gamers, who frowned upon FSX due to its terrible graphics. Improvements can certainly be made without resulting in another FSX fiasco. I've repeated this several times: we don't need to be as crazy. Anyway, users would have the option to edit the video settings. Is it acceptable that the graphics suffer greatly because they're representing the entire world? Actually, in some ways, yes. You obviously cannot create a planet-sized Crysis 2 or Battlefield 3 environment. But the graphics are simply not up to par with its possible potential. It was pretty obvious to me at first glance.
