Default Microsoft Flight

After 10 minutes trying the new released Microsoft Flight the only thing I could thought was to come here and say... THANK YOU devs, seriously... THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH !

I promise never again criticize your landscape, FM, shadows, lighting, colors, whatever... none at all! ( This is not true... but almost XD )

A corporation like Microsoft only released such a indescriptible thing that looks even more outdated than FS9. Horrible plastic sea, extremeley low resolution terrain textures, no smooth transitions between terrains, horrible cross trees from 10 years ago games, 3Dish colors and look in everything with no realistic lighting (not even good looking) at all. Even the clouds are badly ordered and you can see far clouds over closer ones... OMG! Planes and cockpits completely outdated when compared with COD ones and what a flight dinamics with zero sense of being flying. All that in a very small terrain with only 4 planes. And at least in my system, when maxed it provides less fps than CoD, wich is amazing.

So people... seriously... CoD devs, wich are a very smaller team than microsoft one with lot less budget, have achieved something far (very very far) superior product. So, even with the buggy and incomplete CoD, devs deserve our most sincere admiration.

Now... bring us the pach so we can fly it! XD

Biggest part of MS success with that franchise was because of the CEM. 1c was smart to include that in the new engine, along with the other features that established them as the leader, with the release of Il-2 years ago.

Yes I´m very serious. I don´t know what you played, but I just taken this demo shots ( all maxed graphics ) so you can see what they don´t show in the videos. Remember that this a AAA 2012 game from one of the biggest corporations out there, with a lot of years of fligh sim experience. I was expecting something far betther than this. Something that you could think... ohh, yes, now I understand why they drop FS. But they bring us this. Not even bump mapping in the terrain, in a 2012 game! O_o
































And now... for something completely different ( and lovely ):








Pd: And yes, even in the non asistance "realistic" mode the FM is pfffff
