O btw - when you posted about the engine being a starting point, and not an end point, I totaly agree. Good point and good post so I will toast to that!

Not american...Choose any top rated micro-brasseries from Montreal...

And from what I have seen and understood from Oleg, to get close to photorealistic graphics for this flightsim at a decent framerate with current affordable PC, it is still better today to run the game with less ultra-high-tech and "unstable" technology but with more optimized and tightly tweaked well known API...We still dont know to what extend this new engine will be able to be upgraded and how it can be done...But I am no expert here...If I am correct, Luthier said that the new clouds and weather systems were already implemented, but were unplayable at this time due to the lack of optimization...Do they need to use DX11 for those f/x or any new technologies ? Maybe...Time will tell ...

Salute !
