Wow, that looks so good!
Unfortunately, I know it's not FLIGHT because the pilot shot a target:

On the MS website, what do they mean when they say on it's age licence/rating, 'Cruel Humour' or is it a joke?

I loved the original pilot wings!!! (I haven't played the latest)

I also like Xplane physics over FS physics (FS gives me a detached feeling, and variable pitch exhaust is non existent which is another indication that I'm playing a game, not a sim). FS is stuck in mud somewhere between console gaming and a sim, it's much like a console game with a simulator cockpit. So, I would want to believe that FS will make a good console game, but unfortunately, I don't think the FSX physics even outperforms the decades old pilotwings.
(I understand there is a difference in scale and theory between pilotwings and Flight. But pilotwings is an all around top notch console game crafted by one of the best designers the industry has ever had (Miyamoto)- it's a classic. Are these same things going to be said about Flight decades from now? I doubt it.)

Shigeru Miyamoto created some of the most successful video game franchises of all time, including Mario, Donkey Kong, The Legend of Zelda, Star Fox, F-Zero, and Pikmin.

Haha, you mean the Downfall parodies? I watched one called "Sim Heil" (where he complains about FSX) weeks ago and it was very good.

Yesterday I took a screenshot of Flight with full graphics for my YouTube channel's background.

I actually have a couple of those uploaded to my channel, but they are Metal Detecting related. I made them myself. Can't post them here because of the language.
