Look at the new January 2011 screens and think about that before whining about the landscape shots Oleg has released - or the palette for that matter... A small Russian company does this and the worlds largest software company gives us that? Look at screen 4 - is it only me or does it look even worse than FSX? (which obviously is what Flight really is with some tweaks - I know). Look at the fields in shot 1 and compare to the Blenheim shot from the latest update...

Do you think they will manage to get real DX10 support this time? Don't even dream on DX11 - but I guess they will promise that this time like they did with DX10 in FSX

So Oleg, you don't have to worry about them any more then

The link leads nowhere. Nothing!

I tried again...absolutely zero. Nothing in this link.

It's working for me - does it require silverlight or something?

You mean that http://www.microsoft.com/games/flight/ leads nowhere, or are you one of those that refuse to install Silverlight?

Like I said before I wouldn't trust any screenshot Microsoft puts up until I actually take one myself.

I honestly do not see COD ever being a contender in the civilian flight sim ring. FSX (despite its many faults) has a massive lead already with all the stuff that MS has included and the huge selection of aftermarket content. Besides FSX and Flight there is also X Plane to contend with. They're upgrading and I think they honestly have the best FM in the biz.

Why would Oleg try and break into a sector of a pretty small niche thats already got two big players and very little room for competition? He's got the WWII combat market cornered already and if I'm not mistaken the Korean one next year or so.
