So far, I really like the terrain graphics in Flight. Still trying to figure things out, but I think it's a keeper.

Try slamming the throttle forward and then quickly get out of the aircraft before it starts rolling.... Watch it take off on it's own!

The observatories on top of Mauna Kea are nicely modeled. Took a while to get up to 13K feet, but fun. FTX needs to do Hawaii scenery for FSX and add these. I like the scenery in Flight, but the water needs some work and the clouds are a bit dull along with the aircraft. Meaning that the aircraft provided are dull and we need REX for Flight. The rain is too dark, cartoon like, even more so than FSX.

So far I am not hearing 3rd party developers rushing to create new aircraft, so I'm treating Flight as a beta.

From my perspective, if Flight pulls in beginners and out of that experience someone becomes a real pilot or developes the next gen fligh sim, then this is a good thing. FSX 3rd party developers have nothing to worry about.

I did the same thing but on the beach, with my Icon setting in the water . Would have been a great screen shot, but still getting the hang of this thing .

Oh the Crash Animations... Panther you will be amazed, I have dug some pretty deep holes in a few runways already, it will bring a whole new meaning to "Panthring"
