Woohoo! They look niiiiiice!

Well guys, I think we're actually getting a decent sim this time. Signifigant water improvments are evident...

I like the cliffs that show *layers* instead of the standard FS "granite outcrop".  I wonder if they will be *geologically*/*geographically* accurate?

I wonder how good of system you'll need to get those graphics. still its pretty breath taking compare to FSX

if they do it right you'll be able to play it with the new computers of today i hope 

Since I haven't purchased new hardware (to run MSFS) in a few years I have started a seperate "Flight compter fund" to  which I add few dollars to now and then.

However I also suspect the anything from a "core duo quad" (which I presently have) upwards can run Flight  adequately.

Anyway, the  new SS do indeed look very promising. 

For anyone who doesn't think Flight looks much better than FSX, here is a comparison to prove you wrong. 





The FSX shot was taken with terrain settings maxed out. If you open each  screenshot in a new tab and flip back and fourth between them, you'll  see that different parts of them almost match up. (I did my best at  lining up the FSX shot)

It looks nice. Hopefully they learned from the biggest problems of FSX - an extremely high system requirement to play on any decent setting. And hopefully my graphics card isn't at idle the entire time. In any case, it looks as if I'll be buying a new computer for this. Probably Sandy Bridge overclocked to 5ghz.

You have proved nothing with those shots.

Really ? Where ?  :-?

It's just a different cliff texture, nothing impressive

I wonder if they could smooth the terrain by using tessellation. Could save some CPU load and instead load the GPU which is essentially idling right now. (of course DX11 operating system / hardware is required)
