Olegs worst competitors (?) - Microsoft Flight have released new screens...

[Codex]

Install Silverlight, No thanks

No Silverlight for me either, thank you

Wow the level of paranoia for something that is basically the same a Adobe's offering ... never ceases to amaze me.

Anyhoo ... FSX / Flight and CoD are chalk and cheese, no point comparing them at all. They both have their own target audience.

I for one like blowing #$%@ up and shooting #$%@ down. But there are some things FSX does do better than IL-2.

With FSX you have larger maps, you can fly around the globe and don't forget the one big winner in my eyes is that MS provides the SDK, which gave the sim community the ability to mod/add to the sim.

Now you should all know by now that modding a sim extends it's life and maintains the support base. Look at Falcon 4 as another example.

Oleg knows this and has stated many times that he wants the same for CoD

I agree with swiss, the terrain textures and 2D trees in FSX suck, but overall, FSX despite its technical hiccups is a well rounded and enjoyable sim, I personally have bought and enjoy A2A's "accusim" P-47 and Classic Hanger's FW-190s

Think of the bigger picture people, competition is good, it only makes our "small" industry expand and keep it alive and MS has certainly blazed the trail in that regard.
