Saw this over on the FIghterOps forums.  It's a video of a Bell 206 flying around an oil platform, showing off mostly the new water textures, rotor wash, and other really cool stuff.

Excellent find!

I like the rotorwash and those nice smoke effects. Excellent!

wow
the textures on the rig platform and the water are incredible.

great thats cool notice the reflections on the water and the moving craines and the smoke.  :D

wow I thought FSx would look good but not that good those textures are very nice, it looks more like a big budget FPS then flight simulator.  Definatly a huge step forward in graphics, the waters better than css!

Great find Mobius!  


Looks mighty good.

Anybody have a change of undershorts??

I don't want to know why.

WOW that looks INCREDIBLE!  Most previews have featured helis, maybe they fixed the crappy dynamics!

Woah  :o

[Serpent_6]

That looks amazing

The new graphix are cool but i want some news about new realistic flight dynamics.

If you had told me that was real footage of a heli landing on an oil rig, i would have believed you.  The only thing that gives it away is the panning.

I agree........ for serious simmers it is about more than "eye candy".  Yes the graphics look like a great improvement......... but what "functional stuff" have they changed?

And to actually get those graphics along with decent framerates........ what kind of machine will be necessary?  (Certainly nmot the "minimum specification" they will post on the box.   )


best,
