I was looking at the "Virtual Reality" photos and noticed something on the 3rd picture of the 11 in that gallery. The real life picture shows the wings flexing A LOT presumably from the great stress put onto the wings. Then compare that to the perfectly straight wing edges of the Lock-On photo. Wouldn't it be awesome it flight sims of this day-and-age could simulate wing stress like in real life?

Flightsim has something like that. Wings flex in turbulence and when they generate lots of lift.

FS2004 from Microsoft also has this feature in it. Looks pretty cool too.

We do not host our video(s) ourselves as our bandwidth would be exceeded every month in no time. For our new video release, we have a great deal with flightsim.com worked out to host our video in several formats and I'm certain with less pains than the site who's hosting our first video (the one you are all referring to).
