Nicely said Copterdrvr. I have been blown away by each new update and can't wait to play this game.

On the graphics front, that FPS screen shot is amazing but doesn't the flight sim have to dedicate more power to non-graphics related tasks like the more complex physics models? How much performance hit would this be expected to create?
Correct, FPS's and flight sims are different.

I posted the shot as an example of the level of detail and sort of textures and lighting that modern cards can handle and still give high framerates. They do this if games are coded to use their features, most (all?) current flightsims lag well behind current games using old code for gfx elements. I can't wait to see a new flight sim that's been built from he ground up to use these sorts of gfx features, I suspect there's only BOB on the horizon for that though.

I agree that shipping the game without bugs and on time is most important. At least we'll have a new flightsim product on the shelves, that's bit of a novelty at the moment unfortunately
