Well, without breaking my NDA I can at least say that the difference is a lot larger than it looks on the screen shots. They have added many details that don't show on the screens, but the main difference is that they have spent many hours optimizing the engine so it runs a lot better. Too bad they did not use this engine update for FSXI as I agree with the others here that the new "game" approach does not fit me at least, but I guess I'm the wrong one to judge that as civilian simulators have never been my cup of tea...

They do have a nice surprise too in Flight that we have eagerly awaited to see first in CLoD
