Very yummy indeed, especially that third one

Ice Rich · 22 Feb 2006 at 12:37

Looks good, can you imagine what the modders are going to do with it!

n3crius · 22 Feb 2006 at 13:17

anyone know if it is going to have more online functionality?

Looks like a nice visual improvement compared to FS2004, the release date says "holiday 2006" anyone got a clue when that is?

Christmas

Looks great.

Bet you it will eventually be another Vista only release or the XP version will have cut down gfx.

My X1900XT would die at 1600x1200 with them, probs wont get it for while after, maybe when the 2nd/2rd gen DX10 cards are out and quad cores!

Nah lose the AA and it should be fine. MS if nothing else tend to optimize their code more than most game devs.

Yupp.

Most of the screenshots look too samey and not much different, but that one with the helecopter certainly looks something else

Vinny1511 · 23 Feb 2006 at 08:31

OMG a F/S with good graphics !! What is the world comming too

Looks nice...

Rilot · 23 Feb 2006 at 10:33

I'm wondering what resolution the elevation and terrain data will be. Here's hoping it's as good as some of the terrain addons for the current FS.

OzZie · 23 Feb 2006 at 13:50

76m would look nice :cool:

The graphics are really amazing, considering you need about £150 worth of FS9 enhancements to even get close to that level of detail. The elevation is what really grabs my attention most, as well as the better autogen.

The screenshot thread just cried! twice!

grahamjenks · 23 Feb 2006 at 19:31

Strange that it starts and then dies - is it doing anything special at the point it dies - or is it random?

woops wrong thread ignore this

I've dropping hints to the MSFS dev team about certain things that should be included in FSX. Nice bunch of guys, they actually take the time to listen to you and give you the best answer they can considering they're all under NDA's.

However, for now I'll stick to my FS2004.
