And he indeed succeeded, since many bought into it. But at some point he made the mistake of revealing his thought process on public... And everything has finally become clear. I personally never felt the flight models of anything in X-Plane felt realistic, but yes, it wasn't "on-rails experience". The problem is, it never had anything to do with reality either...

My wish for future episodes: 1) Show airports (larger ones) up close with hopefully moving jetways. 2) ATC. 3) AI aircraft. 4) SDK info

[@robainscough]

Excellent, are you folks taking into account tangential friction force during take-off run, not just lift, wheel friction, surface type, but also the relative height of undercarriage and wings above the runway ... so for lower (usually smaller aircraft) vs. higher (usually larger aircraft)? If being calculated this would eliminate all the current tendency in simulators to wonder from center-line as speed increases resulting in most cases what looks like over correction but is really just no change in wheel friction as speed increases ... a flaw present in all current simulators. It would also be very nice to see variable Gust Load implementations (non-sharp edge) at all phases of flight ... especially wind shear ... wind shear is a huge "topic" with ATC and pilots during approach phase. Bring that implementation to life would be tremendous ... keep up the good work.

[@thomb629]

Very happy to see this, you seem to have thought of everything! Regarding the heat blur graphical effect: if you want to do this as well as everything else you are doing, I have some tips for improving it: - when the air moves fast relative to the camera, you don't see the big optical distortions in real life. Part of it could be a motion blur effect, where you would just see a blurred image but no varying distortions. The other part could be that straight out of a jet engine the air does not have varying density yet, it only happens after some distance. Anyway, it means that a camera following a flying jet (behind, or seeing out the passenger window) won't see the typical heat blur distortion seen in this video. It's something you typically see from stationary cameras on the ground when the air is moving slowly compared to the camera. Check out the window the next time you are on an airliner :) - in games/sims the effect has a tendency to blur objects that are in front of the hot air sometimes (typically the edge of objects), which doesn't happen in real life. If the shader could take depth into account in a better manner, it would look a lot more realistic. I haven't seen anyone else do this correctly yet. But since you are doing everything else so well, I wanted to mention it :) Now I only wish that force feedback becomes a thing for flight sim controllers, there should be a huge market for that with a realistic sim like this, like in simracing. I hope the architecture of the sim can support realistic force feedback in the future.

It is amazing, how every one of these videos is able to blow my mind. There are some expectations, that what they present will be better then it was, but they always overshoot those so much.

Separate for weather, separate for ground rendering, separate for calculating aerodynamics and for everything else. If they manage to make this runnable on one single (even if ultra high specs) pc, this will be their greatest achievement. Not that I would mind buying 4 PC's just to make this work :)

Interesting to hear and watch.... but you didnt touch the thermals issues?? Thermal soaring...?? But it does look like slope soaring will be working ok like FSX did or better? Thanks Laurie

[@technicdirectedvgmbh5670]

Yeah - Courchevel :) best regards from technic direct (producer of HQ Aircraft and HQ Scenerey from 1989-2001) Great work!!!

[@genbrien]

@3:43 on the left MFD,on the speed tape, various speed limits are missing (like flaps speed/ overspeed-stall speed). Those were not present in FSX's default planes, are you going to add them to yours? Rest seems excellent GJ

[@TripRodriguez]

Looking great, thanks for the video! Can you confirm whether or not there will be thermals from paved areas in bright sunlight and similar effects? These videos on the airflow simulation get glider/soaring fans a bit excited but we are almost afraid to hope.

[@DrumL3000]

You guys are crazy. You will change simulation gaming forever.

[@Mulherengo]

Shut up and take my money !

[@sgt.pepper253]

My excitement for this cannot be measured.

[@gjens4a108]

I really hope they include at least 1 type of glider.. PLEASEEE!

[@xhector]

i hope so too... but so far i did not see in this video anything about thermals... but still if they or someone makes a glider (3rd party) with that wind model i think we will be able to climb when flying near a mountain where air goes up?

[@goldblazez2031]

We want the hot air balloon

[@MyFilippo94]

@@goldblazez2031 There's no valid online session if no 400 kph hot air baloon is available.

[@hotshot4512]

There is definitely a glider. Look at an aircraft list, and don't worry.

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS!!!

Would like to know more about ATC ( Air Traffic Control ) of the new Flight Simulator

[@ChannelMamedoff]

Amazing work! What about helicopter aerodynamics?

[@Karto86]

This is super awesome but I have one question - how much "game" will be in this simulator? Do you plan to implement any career mode or economy? I would love to transport goods/people, earn money, buy new planes, hire pilots etc. :)

[@NicoMavB]

The idea of economy and "buy" new planes (or hire pilots etc) that is already ingame is not necesarry a good idea... (because it's a simulator, and i think not that much simers would love to "unlock" contents...Or maybe in a "campaign" mode, why not :D )...But the idea to transport people, or some missions, that is cool ;)

[@Ked_gaming]

Maybe in a mod at some point but that's not the goal of a simulator

[@Incidental104]

Every X-plane fan ever "but the flight model isn't going to as good and realistic as Xplane" ME!: fasten your seatbelts cuz Xplane and your points are about to enter some rough turbulents

[@Blind_Hawk]

This advertisement really makes you think that they're more realistic than X-Plane? I mean they didn't show any graphs, no airflow simulations no actual calculations that are being made during flight, nothing. They threw with big words around them and people like you think they now topped Laminar Research? I'm not saying that you aren't allowed to like this sim or that this sim isn't the next step. I'm saying that this sim doesn't deserve this much hype because of advertisement videos. Rather rate it when it comes out with side by side comparisons and with tools, which can picture stuff like airflow etc.

[@blackjack6259]

Lots of great information. Thank you for sharing!

[@Haapavuo]

We need destruction modelling too! Nothing happens now if you give the plane too many g's.

[@georgeshalomon274]

not gonna happen dude, see x-plane, they never do it that, P3D, FSX, FS2004 never do that, even the racing sim never do fully destruction to car model because the brand owner doesn't want to make their product appear damaged, broken.

[@Haapavuo]

@@georgeshalomon274 I believe it will happen eventually. Here I just said that we need this. In order to be a proper sim, we need destruction modelling. Otherwise it is just fun and games.

[@georgeshalomon274]

@@Haapavuo as long as they licensed with the brand, they will never make it happen

[@ukmaxi]

Will never happen since their licences with aircraft manufacturers will not allow for it.

[@Haapavuo]

@@ukmaxi I wouldn't be so sure about that. Racing games have real brands too and a lot of various kind of destruction modelling etc.

[@TheWokacik]

Incredible work guys, can't wait for this one.

[@davids4795]

Merci Beaucoup!!!! The future has arrived!

[@therealsnow]

This video is a relief, my first thought hearing this was coming to XBOX was we would just be getting a pretty yet arcade like piece of software, glad I am wrong!

[@RobiestronyPl]

Looks great! Please do not forget about vatsim, nice api for 3rd party addons and it will be game changer.

[@KyleMiller364]

This is amazing! Would it be possible to enable some of these visualizations for the user? The surface force vectors alone would be a fascinating tool for education.

[@artyomvachyan3448]

Especially with the ground effect they simulate so well. Wow, can you imagine gliding in the Alps?

[@miroslavszabo3783]

I am wondering why he didn't mention thermals when talking about air mass simulation. I don't have a good feeling about that.

[@Sidian98]

@@miroslavszabo3783 he talked about updrafts. Aren't thermals technically updrafts?

[@artyomvachyan3448]

@@miroslavszabo3783 If they simulate icing and humidity effects on air flow, its hard to believe that they won't include thermals simulation. Let's wait and see.

[@artyomvachyan3448]

@@Sidian98 They are, and it would be wild if they won't include air temperature as a parameter when calculating them.

[@JonasHahnFly]

Amazing for Sailplanes. Can you implement the DG 808 s Sailplane from the old FSX again, or any other sailplane?

[@mrnarason]

This code and physics is insane

[@briancollins6974]

Awesome work, awesome video and CUT at the end! :)

[@petercrowhurst]

Great news thank you . With the turbulence modelling and air mass , Is there going to be a glider default aircraft supplied
