Bugger me...they look good. MS is going to regret killing off FS.

WW, X-Plane is really stepping up the game. I was so not impressed with X-Plane 9's World graphics but those screes are awsome.

Yeah, I've also heard a rumor that there will be terminal buildings at some airports.

Yes, that was uncanny.
Wonder if it's a sim though, or what level of detail.

They left out Simulator in their title..... perhaps they decided to go with a new title...or does it have a meaning.

What's the point of a non-sim FS? Flying around for no apparent reason?
I think they're just changing the title because it sounds less technical.

"Social" seems to be the key word here, not "simulation".
I'm guessing they want to attract a bigger audience, jumping on the social networking bandwagon. Though there might still be a simulator somewhere in there, maybe a switch between "casual" and "simulation" like in DCS.

So far there are apparently no details about it at all, so let's wait and see how it turns out. If they refrain from using words like 'accessible' we still have a chance.

Always a chance, sure.
They're not saying "accesible", but things like "inspired by", "compelling socially connected gameplay " and "reinventing". I dun' want no reinvented, socially connected game inspired by FS. I jus' wants another Flight Simulator. It's tied to GFWL, so it doesn't exactly get the benefit of my doubt.

I just hope there is some kind of a carrer aspect to it but not manditory internet connection where I have to be social. Choosing to be s one thing but saying I can play unless I play with others always bothered me with a lot of the new titles Like Americas Army 3, Rise of Flight and I think DCS Black Shark also requires internet connections.

DCS? Nuhuh, 1 time activation for the DRM and yer done.
Pain in the bottom, but it could be worse. * think they patched RoF to the same system.
