Some city shots....

[JSpahn]

The ground textures look great from altitude ....but thats not unlike MSFS....in shot two the autogen was set to insane at which point I got 2 frames a second....In the third shot I set it to a more reasonable setting for my PC....The last shot highlights what I think are really good default night textures

WOW! Especially those last two! 8-)
The night lighting shots looks great, I really like the representation of busy streets and freeways.
And the water looks spectacularly real in the fourth one.

The autogen goes on forever in the second one. 8-)

This is not a bad looking sim at all, I would say my minds definitely made up now, I'm getting this one. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

A question about the bird strike feature, does that only show in VC/panel view, or will it appear in exterior views also, and can it affect engine performance if it hits there?

Im sure the same applies to jets........

Dude how realistic did that look?

It doesn't show up on the AC model & Im not sure about the VC.....


Ohhh I almost forgot...most of the 2d panels don not..DO NOT support widescreen monitors....Figured I should mention this ....what happens is the panel sits in the middle of the screen and you can see scenery on the edges ...another bummer....

[ShaneG_old]

HOLY S#$%!! That's really what it looks like in game?

SOLD!

[SubZer0]

man... those last two shots are spectacular. the night shot reminds me of GEXn at night.. it looks that good

Birds are pointless and reduce visibility....

Great shots, also thats not the in-game ATC in the video is it? :-/

Also is it possible to belly-land aircraft, not like in MSFS where they "hop" aorund on the ground?

Maybe so, but still, you gotta admit they looked awfully real in that video. 8-)
And if you're going after some realism, you gotta have the birds.
