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 Cheesy

WOW! Especially those last two! Shocked Cool
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. Cheesy Cool

This is not a bad looking sim at all, I would say my minds definitely made up now, I'm getting this one. Smiley

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? Shocked Shocked

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 Wink....what happens is the panel sits in the middle of the screen and you can see scenery on the edges Tongue...another bummer....

Birds are pointless and reduce visibility.... Tongue

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

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. Cool
And if you're going after some realism, you gotta have the birds. Cheesy
