[@rotaryperfection]

I doubt it with the use of the cloud storage streaming. A lot of what you see will be streamed in on the fly making weaker rigs capable of running the game. That's why they're releasing on console as well. I'm gonna build myself a rig anyways because I want motion platform and VR.

[@riotproductionz2894]

Yeah Xbox is apparently now ditching the Lockhart to work on a VR headset so it might be dropping with this.

Yea its gonna take a monster to run it at anywhere near what it looks like in that trailer. Your gonna need a $5k+ Rig just to run it high settings 30 fps. If your playing it on XBox forget that trailer your not getting that

It is is with a mix of excitement and sadness that I watch this analysis, Doofer. My dad was a big fan of yours and this new version of the MSFlight would have had him hopping up and down with excitement had he lived to see it. He never touched a pc or even a keyboard until his 80s and then got into flight sims in a big way. Into his mid to late 80s his mind was still sharp and he taught himself how to use the PC and fly his favourite planes by the book. No joyrides for him! I miss him very much and this brings back fond memories. Thank you sir!

Johnny, The memories of our father & mother never leave us so we can cherish them even when they are gone. Thank you for sharing the special times you had with your Dad with us.

I hope they get the Airbus right. Realistic engine sound, legit airbus cockpit sounds (AP disconnect, triple clicks, master warning, master caution, stall, alt callouts)

[@quillmaurer6563]

More importantly, actually simulate the fly-by-wire computers, something FSX couldn't do. FSX just had it in direct-control mode, where side-stick (or user's joystick) moves the flight controls. Interestingly, you can actually see in the FSX cockpit that the flight computers are switched off, and you can't turn them on, seemingly acknowledging this limitation.

Well, technically Prepar3D is still here and actively maintained. It is literally the same game as FSX, as Lockheed Martin bought the ESP engine and brought the Aces Studios to continue its development. It is even compatible with nearly all addons for FSX.

I want fully study level aircraft that are realistic we use navigraph data and actually use real life procedures we have guys on vatsim the biggest flight sim community online and even ATC's. I am not hating on this sim I just really wanna know how third party devs will support it since most the default airplanes in FSX was terrible while the addon packs that are out are highly realistic. FSX wouldn't still be used if it had not been for third party addons. Lockheed Martin bought the FSX engine and completely made a new sim.

[@largesoda1729]

I betcha if they add a GSX similar feature where there are people boarding and deboarding stairs, jetways or aircraft ladders (gen av), along with fuel trucks and baggage tugs buzzing around the airport, it would be a great addition to the immersion.

[@Doofer911]

I hope so, the underlying code looks like it's there to have people walking about and vehicles driving around so for an experienced development team, it shouldn't take too much to add something like that in if they haven't done it already.

[@sky173]

I love the fact that MS is coming out with a new version. I've been playing FS seriously since FS98, although as a kid I messed around with earlier versions. I hope 3rd party developers will be allowed to create their own planes and so we can download and install them as freeware (just like back in the FS2000/20002 days).

THE AIRCRAFT YOU CAN'T IDENTIFY: ROBIN DR 400 RÉGENT A powerfull french aircraft. And it's probably the same you depict as aerobatic aircraft as it has a special fuel pump for aerobatics initiation's model. I've flown this plane in real many times. I can identify it in seconds ! In this sim, this is the old classic cockpit version but it exists in glass cockpit.

[@fockewolf1980]

[@FiveSigma72]

I will probably only fly the A5 low at low speed just to take in the stupendous visuals. Hopefully you can scale in the lod radius to get the framerate up. Then again, if it ends up anything like how it looks here, it's going to mean a new board, chip and probably another 1080 card to be playable. Sigh.

FSX mate

[@Miles994]

Thanks for posting about this! Curious if you think this is going to be a fully fledged simulator like FSX or XPlane or a toned down sim style game on console? Obviously the hope is that this is true successor to FSX!

[@Doofer911]

I think everyone wants it to be a full-fat simulator. It's this Xbox integration that's concerning me and I think it goes beyond "It's a PC game but you can stream it to your Xbox". I just worry that things like controls will be dumbed down and simplified for use with a gamepad controller. Think how impractical that type of controller is for flicking various light switches, or overhead panel switches. They may turn around and say that you can change certain options to be more realistic or more arcadey but you're still trying to please different groups rather than committing down one road and doing that really well. There's also the memory of their last attempt at refreshing a simulator which was Microsoft Flight which didn't do well. They've got the resources do make the true FSX successor, let's just hope they've been keeping an eye on the community and got some fresh ideas to bring the genre forward.

[@Miles994]

@@Doofer911 Yeah, agreed. There's definitely a market for a full fat FSX replacement, but MS got out of the full fat simulator market for some reason, so would be good to know if they are trying to get back in or this is just MS Flight Simulator in name only.

[@RCmies]

I don't mind floating runway lights if it is a big hit on performance. I would prefer them to make them so they only appear close to the player, because they're such tiny details that the level of detail doesn't have to be high on them.

It's possible that this game might be streamed through Azure Cloud so that the end user doesn't need to have the burden of equipping himself with the proper hardware. Also, this opens the possibility for the game to be rendered in real time raytracing from that same cloud infrastructure. The terrain must be generated from satellite and aerial photogrammetry, something that Google has been doing with its Maps/Earth service in some towns, but it also looks that some custom edits to the terrain have been done, either manually or through Azure AI.

The trailer is stunning, for real. I like the weather and the scenery. I really hope, they learned a lot from their last mistake. Yeah, I look at you Microsoft Flight! The engine must be able to handle the basic stuff like physics, scenery and weather. Everything else have to be effortlessly accessible via a good documented API.

At 9:06 the plane is, I think a Robin DR400, a french plane, flying above the Chateau d'If in Marseille, south France

[@FHEYF]

Exact !!!

Would this be made available for Xbox One S as I'm planning to buy one just for this game and cannot afford high end PCs.

[@Doofer911]

We don't know yet. Microsoft will release more details in the future.

[@crewchiefken03]

What about VR Capabilities Using the oculus rift S

[@scottskinner577]

Excellent observances. Excellent video, as always. I got one thing....if I buy an XBOX for this, i better be able to use my flight control equipment and gadgets.

8:30 is probably a Mudry Cap 10B site by site aerobatics aircraft. I hope this one will be available as it's shown because we have it in real in our school. I like new edition of FSX and I hope to to se well developed avionics on both GA aircrafts like C172 G1000 and more available buttons on B737 or Airbus. Well well... Waiting to it's coming :-)

[@stevensiew4072]

Does it comes with a Boeing 737-Max, the plane with a mind of its own that wants to fly strait into the ground regardless of what the player/pilot wants to do???

[@captainpatroni4171]

It'll also come with a String Kite and a Note book paper Airplane that you can pretend its a Super Sonic Jetliner !!!!!

They've seen DTG fail and have decided to come back to the simulation genre they took to new heights late 90s early 2000. Glad, and glad for the analysis

[@captainpatroni4171]

Exactly 100 % Correct !!!!

[@NextSound170]

Thats the problem with DTG they've slacked off because off a monopoly for far too long and same with OMSI developers, got slack instead of enhancing the product with a better game engine.

[@Doofer911]

I've seen an announcement that seems to suggest that Microsoft had the right to "recover" their simulator code after selling it to Dovetail Games. That would go some way to explaining the sudden stoppage of development of Flight Sim World.
