sky looks good.
sea looks good, but fake
plane looks fake
ground textures are nothing special.



looks good, but not REAL.

From "what you hear" is over six months old.  FSX and Vista go well as both now support multi core CPU's. I'm running  E8400 @ 4Ghz and only experience frame drops at major airports all settings are on high or maxed out. Flying offline I have to drop AI traffic to 50%.  Full DX10 support isn't far away, hopefully they will add multi GPU support with it.

Okay, I'll take your word for it. Our IT guy told me that.

Looks pretty

Needs F-16s and MiG-29s going at it with that level of realism around them.   ;)

Mix an arena setup like Aces High, toss in Falcon 4 Allied Force performance details and that level of fraphics...wooot.

We really do seem to be reaching a point visually at least of almost photo realism. I don't quite understand the negativity. Whatever way you want to look at it we have come a long way in graphics in recent years. For one second in the video with the sequence showing the view from the twin. I thought it was real.

Sim can never truly capture the reality of flying. Diving down in my skydive Cessna from FL90 after a drop with my ears popping could never be properly simulated, nor the heartstopping moment I hit the downdraft on short finals. But it could simulate it visually at least.

 :roflDon't fancy it much myself either, that' why I fly the plane. I'd probably do a tandem jump one day though. I still can't get used to seeing people jump out of my plane and then meeting them again on the ground smiling. I kinda feel they ought to be dead or something. Nor can I get used to big guys hanging off the wingstrut looking happy and then letting go.

But the flying is good and scenery reminds me of some of the AH terrains (or should that be the other way around.)  :cool: Plus the Cessna 182 handles like an La7 when it's empty.

If a flight sim ever matches the fun you get from that kind of flying. I'll buy it.
