Shows great promise, but still a long way to go to give an revolutionary impression, for it looks similar to BoP and may have just reached 60 per cent of my own expectations(perhaps, a little bit high...) if simply viewed from the DEMO(WIP) itself.
Some more words to dear BOSS about DX11,
Although sea(ie North Atlantic Ocean) is not a keynote to such a flight simulation, I hope the coming BoB can support the new DX11 Tessellation technology which gives me a great impression of the really beautiful water rendering by the late Nvidia DEMO(GF100)

Regards.

Well at least the second vid didn't have that damn Lux Aeterna song

It ia really astounding to see that many negative feedback to a WIP.
It is even compared to outdated technology.
Instead of seeing the improvements already reached.
Some people just have to reduce everything in order to elevate themselves.
Wake up, you only show that you need elevation.

Just some negative Pre-release feedback, I believe it is useful and necessary for BOSS to do his judgement, and a DEMO of WIP need negative more than positive(that's why every-friday thread exists). Let us leave the positive feedback to the released BoB/SoW.

I believe it works just the other way!!!
Now we can enjoy everything new and better.
At the release we can enjoy everything that has been kept secret.
Then, when we are enjoying the final Game, we can search for, maybe, needed improvements.

Alright mate, but we have to say also what we like ... and a negative critique - or a positive one - must specify WHAT is missing or improvable ... otherwise it's too easy to say generically "you are far away" ... "60%" ... "my expectations are higher" ... but 60% OF WHAT ???

I´ll say what noone else bothered to say. thanks for the vid johhny, very nice to see it in slowmo!

Also, I think it is really funny that so many people think that what we see in the updates are what they were "just working on this last week". Sorry guys, but what we are shown in the updates is often really old work on the sim... you can conclude NOTHING about the progress of the sim or the pace of progress from these updates...

I think that to wait for a finished product before looking for faults is mature.
You, as proved by this really "useful" comment, aren't.

S!

Negative critics are needed to get progress. But it has to be well thought out, not just "OMG this suxxors" etc.
