Why would you buy FS 11?

Featured Replies

I just want the moveable tower view back.

 

There is a way to edit in pan view within tower view or are you talking about something else?

Many mention better ATC, I never looked into it much but are there not 3rd party programs available that upgrade FSX ATC well enough to satisfy most?

1. Multicore 64-bit platform support

2. If I somehow knew I'd be able to spend more time flying than tweaking :lol:

I wouldn't buy FSX11. After two epic fails (FSX and now Flight), MS is out of the flightsim business. I would/will be moving on to P3D. I wanna see what an aviation company can do with the code.

Intel i9-12900KF, Asus Prime Z690-A MB, 64GB DDR5 6000 RAM, (3) SK hynix M.2 SSD (2TB ea.), 16TB Seagate HDD, Gigabyte GeForce 5080 RTX, Corsair iCUE H70i AIO Liquid Cooler, UHD/Blu-ray Player/Burner (still have lots of CDs, DVDs!)  Windows 10, (hold off for now on Win11),  EVGA 1300W PSU
Netgear 1Gbps modem & router, (3) 27" 1440 wrap-around displays
Full array of Bravo, Saitek and GoFlight hardware for the cockpit. Varjo and HP VR headsets for mixed reality.

Flight would not of been a fail if MS listened and fsx... well they just needed to finish it

Nowhere did I mention MS. I am wondering why you consider FSX a 'failure', but I really dont want to hijack my own thread LOL

If through some miracle FS 11 was announced, what SINGLE improvement would influance your decision to buy it over staying with FSX/FS9?

 

Only one improvement?

 

Assuming the sim is more like FS9/FSX in presentation...

 

64bit optimization, the x86 limitations of previous titles limit their potential.

 

 

breaking the rule....

 

better default scenery, I like what MS did with Flight...I want the whole world like that, not just two US states.

 

Better quality default planes, specifically thorough cockpits as I am sick of the "...for Dummies" simplified airliner cockpits.

This is an easy one, well talking from a presonal point of view anyway. Because I only fly with third party addons ie. sceneries and aircraft, I am more or less happy with the quality of the graphics. However, the one thing I would like to see is faster texture loading. If I had this, I would see FSX as being near perfect... oh, I guess at a push, I wouldn't mind 3d clouds, but this isn't a deal breaker for me, I think REX does a pretty good job anyway.

1.PMDG support

2. Developer friendly,

3. MS just give us the platform and make it "As Real As it gets"

4. Let the 3rd party developers provide us with the realist airports and aircraft.

If they build it, we will come....!

I'd like to see better support for some specific gear, Just as an example the Logitech G940 (probably not the best and certainly not the most sophisticated but the only one I know with Force Feedback) has three trim wheels but only one is supported currently (elevator)

I'd buy it in a heartbeat if it looked anywhere as good as FLIGHT or even if the flight dynamics were similar.

One more very important thing... To be able to use all the memory we can have installed.... Instead of the silly max 3/4Gb. I still run into memory problems with win 7 64bit.. its ridiculous.

Well, FS11 doesn't need something specific to get me to buy it. If it's any better than FSX, of course I'd get it. But here's what I'd like to see:

 

1. 64-bit, better multicore and GPU utilisation. *

2. Optimised code to run well enough on a wide range of systems. *

3. Better aircraft quality and flight dynamics. *

4. Improved graphics and scenery. *

5. Improved ATC and AI behaviour, no glitches.

6. Improved weather engine.

7. Quite importantly, all the features FSX already has. **

 

*What Microsoft Flight offered.

**What Microsoft Flight lacked.

:LMAO:

 

Yes, yes, it's amazing what people don't discover when they don't look.
