Hi Pete (et al)As this may prove to be debated further I'm starting a new thread to reply to Pete Dowson's post in the Concorde thread.
Well... my FS friend did visit last night and we gave this software a good going over. We found it interesting and promising, but did not prefer it to my everything maxed, near 30fps,terrain meshed and land classed, Gary Summons improved rendition of the UK. Yes, we had a moment's fun flying over our present homes and the places where we were born and went to school but felt this was a novelty which would quickly wear off. The constraints of height and speed would not appeal to many of our FS friends (vide Ray Proudfoot)
In addition to its flatness - irritatingly evident in take off from London City - my friend was not too happy with the colours ( although I had no problem with that) and we both missed the trees and buildings. Also we spotted some mystical interlopers here and there.
The camera has caught some passing aircraft - one was spotted on approach to Gatwick. How about a new competition - "Spot the Interloper"? There must be others.
I think my opening comment summarises it for me: interesting, promising but not compelling. One man's opinion. Others?
Best regards
Frank
