Looks like fsx with better physics, a few improve ground textures, and better shadows to me... Undecided

Looks amazing!!! The aircraft lighting and shadowing looks like it has been perfected...finally!!! The airport grass/dirt texture looks almost photoreal. The airport buildings look like they have better textures themselves. Can't wait to see more!

Cool

Not only is the scenery amazing, but those gauges look like they came right out of the A2A/Accu-Sim P-47.

Well... Undecided...

If this is advertising a new MS Flight Simulator product, the length of the demonstration is rather on the economical side!... Shocked....!

During its few seconds of run-time, I was desperately trying to detect any difference between this new program, and my enhanced copy of FS 2004.
I'm afraid it didn't last long enough for me to come to any definite conclusion... Sad...!
For a new product, I though it demanded a much longer demonstration to illustrate any benefit over the present MS Flight Simulators.
Rather disappointing, I thought... Roll Eyes...!

Paul....FS 2004/FSX... Cool...!

Ah yes, wonderful Microsoft, and their policy of, "You must have our version of the software, to enjoy the privilege of watching the extremely short video."   Roll Eyes

I've resisted silverlight for years, but had to install it, just because I'm a sucker for new FS news.  Grin  Wink

It looked like FSX if I put Dave Eckert's freeware Stearman into it......rather disappointing.   Undecided

The textures on the tarmac still look as if they've been stuck on top of the surface instead of keeping the texture of the ground below it, but it's early days.

I'll give the shadowing a good rating, but the rest of the vid just seems like they have slapped some new tech onto FSX, with an updated "learn mode".  Cheap, if you ask me. Wink
