Title: Microsoft Flight is coming
Post by: MrRiplEy[H] 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.

This page requires Flash Player version 10.1.52 or higher.

Post by: eagl on August 22, 2010, 03:23:01 PM: 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.

I know, I'm a cynic. :D
