October Flight update

More pics, including the 'leaked' picture and two news articles. One about missions and the other a job description for a community and website manager. One of the responsibilities will be helping to plan a beta.

Where are you getting the June date.
I have not seen that mentioned anywhere.
Just curious.

That may be a good thing.
If the Hawaii scenery was done last June, then maybe the rest of the world is almost done..

(speculation of course, nothing more).

I saw it a few months ago on another forum. Later, when I get more time I'll try to find it again.

Edit:(a bit later)
Ok, here is a screenshot with the date on it.

I went through the 10 provided screen shots and although they are nice, they still don't seem to far surpass anything that can't be done with FSX or even FS9.

Exactly. They don't surpass what CAN BE DONE with FSX. Sure FSX can be made to look sort of like Flight, but after you spend a load of $$$ on add-ons. Flight has the look of loads of add-ons out of the box, plus the rewritten engine and new shading technology.

Oh no, here I go sounding like a salesman again.

That doesn't sound so good. At least, FSX preview screenshots were showing things that COULD NOT BE DONE in FS9, even with all the paywares in the world. Here in Flight, the only visible thing that cannot be done in FSX is the new shadow system and, apparently, the new cloud-blending system... quite dissapointing.

No.
It has ONLY a good-looking Hawaii Island, just like FSX had a good looking St-Marteen Island. That's all we can say for now.

plus the rewritten engine and new shading technology.

That's a point, yes. Not so visible in the screenshots, unfortunately. :/

I'm not a member there but I do read through some of the many topics.
  My earlier post HERE means if I already have FSX the way I want it, and all I paid for was GEX, Those screens are only mildly exciting. I have a feeling from all the the discussion from here and there, Flight may not be as cheap as FSX/FS9. Time will tell.  8-)

Well...

..all I can say is...

...I purchased FS' 98, FS 2000, FS 2002, FS2004 and FSX as soon as they were released in England, and I have no doubt I will do exactly the same with "Flight" as soon as its released... ...!

They only cost a few Pounds, and I can readily afford them,

[Keep It Simple]

Perhaps Hawaii screens are being used simply for marketing reasons since most of the target market is already familure with Hawaii/Pearl Harbor area meaning they have at least seen many pics of it. 
Why show screens of of areas most have no idea what it's supppose to look like?

Besides, the real world
