Nice but pretty much the same as FSX which shouldn't come as a surprise. Of course it's probably all WIP (maybe they'll still add DirectX 10 effects  ) and who knows what kind of gameplay they'll come up with for their new "social gaming experience" customer group... |
My thoughts exactly. i.e. nothing to see here, it's just FS-X repackaged with some "2010" graphical tweaks.
They've even got some lovely blurry vomit ground texture around the tarmac on that trailer (although at least that would indicate it is actual game footage, and they haven't just made it up).
Deeply underwhelming.
I can just about run FSX with Orbx scenery and REX cranked up to a nice level, and I don't play it online, I'm not seeing anything here to get remotely excited about so I think I'll be sticking with that for my civvie kicks.
Oleg FTW.
