OK well call me cynical but for ultimate realism I’d have hoped to see the pilot’s head in No 3 tilting to the right. No 4 looks like FSX, and the others like FSX+Orbx.
Really I’m not sure what new content they are hoping to bring to the party with this one…
I was flying over Orbx PNW while looking at these and they do look like an improvement over even the best of what FSX has to offer. What we don’t have yet, though, is any substance whatsoever.
All these little tiny videos and a handful of “artistic” screenshots which could be shot over one high detail area of the world tell us nothing about what this sim is going to be capable of, what it offers us over FSX/X-Plane 10 or where they intend to head.
The problem is, they’re not actually ‘building the hype’ in the way MS presumably would like them to. They’re actually just making most people who have been in the hobby/industry some time go “Yes? And?”
It still makes me wonder whether they actually have anything worth showing yet, or whether they were panicked into announcing earlier than they intended and are now playing catch-up to actually make the thing work.
