• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Computer animated A320

That was very cool, almost a glimpse of what Flightsim might be like in 10-20 years. We are quite a ways there already if you think about the jump between FS98 and FSX (roughly 10 years apart). I think the major 'real' hurdle next from what was seen in that A320 vid compared to FSX, at least visually is the lighting. How light reflects off of surfaces/materials, realistic sun light, shadowing...etc. With Rex, ASE, realistic modelling...etc we are getting there. I swear at certian light angles the A2A Cub looks real, like I could reach my hand into my screen and touch it.

Cheers
