Something just hit me. Oh, its that kid outside with his baseball again. I'll be right back...

5 mins later...

Oh right, in movies, things are blurred because of the exposure time, i'd like to see motion blurs in video games. Like FS. Not that FS is a game, but you know what I mean.

They were some games that tried in the past to offer such an effect...but as far as I remember the result wasn't very convincing... I'm thinking about an old arcade racing game...MadTrax maybe... I don't remember Tongue

But who knows, might be worth the try, I would be glad to see the result again with today's technology...

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?

Actually, striker may be on to something. If you look at the upcoming game Farcry [or is it Farcry?] it features motion blur to allow for more realistic frames. If the game becomes a success with such a feature, imagine the implications the motion blur with have on the FS series. Heck, imagine CFS4 with motion blur [assuming that M$ is even bothering to consider making CFS4].

Followed the link.

Looks like another FS9 to me, but with 'flour' bombs ???

Good of MS to release screenshots, but is anyone aware a press statement regarding FSX flight dynamics, or as common with other 'sims' do we have to correct these ourselves ?

If anyone knows if MS made comment on dynamics, I'd be grateful for the link.

You have no idea how much I want to tear that statement apart.

Take a look at the shots and "try" to look at me in the eye and tell me if it really does look like FS9. Wink

Your post is titled: 'FSX user interface' is it not ?

The example given in your link of FSX's user interface does look strikingly similar to the style of FS9.

There is no problem with my statement, it is factual.

As for some info on FSX air dynamics I am simply asking a fair question, I apologise if this does not meet with your approval.

That's what you were refering to? Oh, ok. Never mind. Grin

In that case, it looks like M$ has run out of ideas for the look. Either that, or maybe they want to maintain a sense of tradition with their simulator. Besides, the look of the user interface was not what I was talking about on my thread's initial post. I was refering to the "display options" that the user interface has listed.

Has anyone yet twigged at the flour bombs? If you have the option to drop bags of flour, how long before the effects and models are changed for proper weaponry. Grin

Actually, in NFS Underground - Most Wanted, when you hit the nitrous, there is a sort-of motion blur, but more like fx just making it seem like motion blur. Its a start tho.

by, da way. The moment I heard about FSX having flour-bombs, I immediatly thought, 'REAL BOMB'.
The sounds, and explosion, will be the easy part to change, but it may take a while until we can find, and replace the flourbag model.

2-3 weeks max Wink

&&FS Water Configurator+ has new modifications in the works, plus DirectX 10, Service Pack&&1, and Radeon HD 3+ Series support.
