Microsoft not out of the flight sim game after all...

[Dano]

News to me, have I been living under a rock?

New's to me, interesting.

[Baron]

Intresting.

However, if that clip in any way shape or form resemble the actual game, ill be suprised.

Unless estimated release is 2020 that is.

Funny how you click on the liks news link and you get the microsoft "We are sorry, the page you requested cannot be found." message.

I doubt the intro video is captured real time from the sim.

Cheers and hanks for the news.

However, if that clip in any way shape or form resemble the actual game, ill eat my shorts.

uhh hello, LOL! this isn't some back water 3rd world programing hack job where everyone develops games on 15 inch monitors and CPUs from circa 2000 , and take 8 weeks of vacation a year

this is America, we have knowledgeable programmers that understand DX11, and are just now getting ready to unlock the massive potential it has

But microsoft developed only absolutely Fligh no combat no war no bullets no effect of explosion or effect and dinamic of crash.
Combat flight simulator not new product.
because microsoft not developed one simulator also combat and civil mode?
2 simulator in 1.

Programmers that work for the same company that advertised FSX with faked Dx10 screenshots.

Man does look quite good. The environmental effects especially look good, and certainly the clouds are something that SoW should take into account, as these clouds actually look realistic
Otherwise, everything else I have seen in SoW has nocked this for 6.

This is either a master trolling effort, in which case hats off, or just plain ignorance.

It's funny, because the countries who have a good reputation for producing scores of scientists that excell in mathematics, physics and computers are Russia, India, Pakistan and other "3rd world countries" like those

Sure, the US has things like NASA and lot's of money to build things, but don't knock the other nations whom upon the contributions of their scientists a lot of your achievements have been made possible. That's how science works, people exchange knowledge. When building things based on that knowledge, that's where competition and money comes in, but that's not science, it's the application of it. Cheers

P.S. I wish MS would take the time to code in older machines and have to optimize their code in order for it to run acceptably, then maybe their products would actually run smooth on present day hardware.

Baron is speaking sense here. Anyone remember the promo for CFS3?
