Microsoft Flight is coming
« on: August 22, 2010, 03:13:37 AM »
To all you FSX lovers, this is going to be the next big thing probably: http://www.microsoft.com/games/flight/

There's a teaser video and if that's ingame we're looking at photorealistic flight.

I thought they did away with their whole flight department some time back?

Oh wow. I can run FSX maxed but I don't know about that one. Looks like a pc killer.

Looks like they're coming back Ghost. They are also making an online version of Age of Empire

Yea, the trailer vid sort of sucked.  Why the tilted viewport?  Made me feel like I was flying with one of my less talented students who forgot all about that rudder trim thing.

Nah not really, the sea is nice but there's little other detail to render than the water and the biplane.
