Why dont you keep all of your fsx videos to one post, and fsx pictures to one post, instead of starting a new thread for every single finding?

[andy14]

Ok I do that next time

thanks

Short but enough to suggest again that we are in for a major scenery enhancement.

So, need a P2miilion, xillion RAM on board, 25 Graphics cards linked in tandem with 25 trilion RAM each, and 100" Monitor at 25000 X
14000 res.


OK Cray, on order!

Did you see that mad pic of the plane and the jet truck drag racing? And those before/after screenies, ladies and gentlemen we are in for
a real treat as far as looks go. Now I just hope they upgrade the ATC, though from the sound of it we are gonna be able to log into mp as
ATC from the getgo this time.

Did you see the features built in? Over at JustFlight they have a list of features, we are gonna be able to join MP sessions with built in
VoxIP, as pilot, co-pilot and even ATC, all built in to the software. Sweeeet.

As I told you Andy, my colleagues went to the E3 and one of them sent me this in email ( it is already going round the net because it was
a factsheet handed out by MS but still )

I guess since birds are included in fsx then FSP will simulate bird strike ?

[highlander]

FSP already simulates bird strikes

[samiranks]

hmmmm... i wonder why i never got any..? Oh well

[alphaone]

I literally had to keep from screaming and jumping up and down and hyperventaling while reading and looking at all of this. I can't F***ing wait!

When I saw the official vid with the ultralight flying over the highway I just uh... wow!!!!!

Also I just thought I'd share this I found in a different forum:

DirectX9:


DirextX10


Low quality and its unknown if its real or not, but if it is, and i'm willing to bet it is, wow! Holy realistic water batman!

Microsoft have released the first official video of FSX, which can be found here:

Nice video, exciting, but I'm sticking to my story... No new computer just for FSX. Current computer does everything I need it to do for FS9,
home accounting, writing code, etc. Cannot justify the expense for upgrading just for a "game".
