Hummmmmmmm...........
Maybe I was expecting a LOT out of a new version............... but to me those official shots don't look all that different from what I already see in fs2004 with the addition of some payware landclass, textures, and roads and such.
Will this new version be a step up or a leap up?
The one shot there that is intriguing visually is the one with the seaplane... with the seeming water reflections of the plane. But the background images like the ship don't seem to reflect...... just the plane.
If the flock of brids in the background are each flying independently....... that would be pretty interesting.
Guess we'll see in about a year............
best,

PS: Wonder how many posts will be in this forum BEFORE the program is released?
I have to aggree with JBaymore. The only thing that really caught my eye was the birds, just adds a nice bit of atmosphere. As for the rest, i've seen as good, if not better, in our own screenshot section.
From what I saw in the video, there's nothing really new in FS10 other than new Directx 10 features. FS has been using the same engine since FS2002 (born from CFS 2) for almost 5 years now. When I heard FS10 was coming out I was expecting they would of started on a new engine by then.
All I see in the screenshots is nothing that FS9 doesn't already have. Think of FS10 as the best 3rd party programs on the market, mashed into one with new Directx 10 effects. Traffic, moving jetways, birds, land mesh, you can all those right now and make it into FS10, just without the new Directx10 settings like reflections, sun glare, lighting, etc.
Am I the only one that noticed the roads? Those new roads can soon bring a whole new level of realism for those of us who are stuck to the ground every now and then. .
