We've seen it over and over with MS they use CG trailers, and shopped photos to show how awesome their games will look. There is absolutely no reason to believe their vids are in game.

I have a hard time believing people would really mistake this trailer for an in-game video. Not only is it standard practice by MS to fake such scenes (as you said), it's also completely obvious in itself. Anyway there's no reason to speculate as the other 3 MS Flight trailers show a slightly tuned FSX engine which is not nearly close to that quality.

But maybe people simply want to be lied to, that's why they're so disappointed when Oleg shows us his sim as it is.
