I'm curious to know what your FPS are in Flight? (and with what CPU + graphics card + how much memory) (nevermind, just saw your specs in your sig. Wow, that's quite a system!)
It is semi-true that FSX uses photoreal scenery. What you are actually seeing in most default FSX locations are landclasses. FSX comes with a wide range of landclasses, such as desert, forest, city, etc. These are auto-generated and blended during the development process. The landclasses are used globally, so the textures you see used in San Diego will be the same used in Florida, London, Australia, etc. The landclasses are made of square satellite images and are tile-able. That's why they look so good. Flight uses the same method, with some true (unique) photoscenery thrown in around all of the airstrips/airports. To put it simply, Photoscenery is generally referred to as satellite imagery that is unique to one location. (basically an aerial photo of the location) Landclasses are just general/generic satellite textures used and blended together repeatedly anywhere in the world to try and represent a location. (in many cases, the types of landclasses used in Flight will be fairly close to what the actual satellite imagery would look like because they are blended so well and used correctly.)
I'll gladly say this. The Flight development team definately scored a run with the new water. To bad there isn't a way to port that down to FSX.

Agreed, so far for me that has been it's only saving grace! The coastlines in particular are much better.
I give up. This has to be the most negative community I've ever seen. I guess no one is open for change or willing to see at least one positive thing from something new. I am done here.

Brandon, we're telling the truth not being negative.
You can't just storm off because people don't see your point of view.
It's a fact of life that people don't always agree.
I am open for change for the better just not for the worse.
