I am not sure that the location of shot 2 is correct, but even if it's not, the overall look won't be much different. I just found it interesting how things lined up so well for that shot scenery-wise. I had to look at every airport in Hawaii in Google Earth to determine which runways had the horizontally oriented arrows. Turned out Hilo Intl was one of them, and I decided to use it for it's accuracy. This airport was also the same airport featured in Webisode 2. Overall, the improvements in Flight are more and more visible with each update. The only shot I wasn't impressed with was #7, which has a very flat look to it. Other than that, Flight is looking great and I hope a lot of these recent rumors about it being limited to one plane and island are not true, as the engine itself has some great potential by the looks of it.
Lets try not to turn this thread into yet another argument thread with pointless speculation, but focus on what solid facts we have and what we can visually see in the screenshots and videos, specifically the September screenshots, since this is the point of this topic.

Oh well, we'll wait and see! After all, who flies with default stuff anyway?
EDIT: Thanks, once again, Brandon, for the work you put into these. Very well done, mate!

Kudos. I think the scenery is Fight looks better, but some of the textures in FSX beat out Flight.

The only thing I hope is that they replace the water texture. The current one looks low-res, repeats and has only sun reflections.

And those FSX shots aren't default. Looks like XGraphics.

FSX water is add-on.

That's a horrible comparison to take add-on software/textures and compare it to a newer program. You can't compare modifications. They need to be default vs. default, especially if Microsoft isn't the one that created the mod package.

And yes i know you have REX running, but I mean the default ones are still better.

I agree. The only bad thing about Flight is the water, which should be improved too. Everything looks better, the weather, the autogen, the shaders, and the scenery is much better.

All of them. The one with the observatories might be the Big Island, but it's definitely Hawaii. You can see the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, Diamond Head, and the old Bellows Air Force base.
