IL-2 CoD vs MS Flight graphics

ghodan · #1 01-28-2011, 09:47 PM

Microsoft put up 4 new pics on the official MS Flight website.

http://www.microsoft.com/games/flight/

What do you guys think?

( I need combat in my games , so for me its IL-2 CoD all the way)

UPDATE:
For those who don't want silverlight on their pc:

You have to admit, these screenshots are beautiful... I am surprising myself dreaming about a real good civilian sim...I am not holding my breath considering past history, but I keep some hope...

Two threads? is MS in the house??

past history? yes, we remember the promo shots featuring DX10 in all its glory (which turned out to be artist concept)

I don't trust MS PR (see FSX DX10 shots), my interest in a "social" version of FSX is pretty much non-existent, it overall looks like a cheap FSX spin-off and the trees are quite poor. Apart from that though it's definitely beautiful; not perfect for sure but still looking good.

Maybe add some lime green to spice it up a bit

(btw I can't watch the December pics anymore, no matter where I click - bug in Silverlight?

Just a funny coincidence - my thread about the same thing is actually first though

OK, it's really only seven minutes earlier than this thread so I'm sure we where both writing them at the same time but I managed to press save earlier

I guess we have both signed up for the mail list to get updates about "Flight" and reacted the same way almost at the same time...

When I realized this thread had almost the same subject I thought of deleting mine but then there was already and answer in mine so I let it live...

this was the second thread in the list I read, at the time of reading

Wait for the game before you argue how good it looks. I remember very well the big difference between the promo shots for FSX and the actual game when it was released.
For MS sims better wait to see the real thing.

Honestly?

I think FSX players(no, wait - they call themselves "pilots") are a bunch of nerds.
And with nerds I really mean it in the most negative way.

Possibly. Then again I wonder what the Call of Duty community would say about people who like combat flight sims...

Cool, another bunch of different idiots.

They have one thing in common though: The lack of a real life.

This at least applies to the hard core twerps

I ordered my girlfriend to chop off my balls if I ever end up like this
