Scroggs - thanks.

Holy **** - those visuals are something else. Every version of FS has required stupendous hardware at the time it was released, but this looks like the biggest step forward in terms of visuals since FS98.

This doesn't add much to the "use-as-an-IFR-trainer-debate", but it underlines how great this is for VFR. Perhaps with its level of detail, it'll be the first-ever sim that can actually be used to teach and practive VFR navigation properly.

I fear, though, we'll need something like this to run it:

That card alone costs as much as a whole PC.

Yeah,
