Interview With Microsoft Flight Simulator Team

Recommended Posts

ATC can be handled one of two ways. Either get it in there for release, or allow a 3rd party to have something ready to sell on release.

No matter what, it'd be a huge mistake to have nothing at the start and it would severely handicap the sim's userbase as far as the hardcore market goes. This is something they simply must get done, even if it's only a slightly expanded version of what FSX had to start.

I'd say that we didn' tsee anything like the Orbx Objectflow, animated mickeys on tarmac or around : animals, people etc. I wish there were some.

ATC isn't included yet but might make it in as its high on the user wish list, the walkaround was more of a suggested addition on my part for the checklist.

If ATC won't be ready for launch, they should just integrate the FSX solution until they program something better. But I have no idea what i'm talking about so it's probably best to ignore me.

I'm very conscious that I may be doing my bit to make this thread yet another pro and con VR one but IMHO if there's a choice between resources going to ATC or VR then the resources should go to ATC as it benefits a larger portion of users.

If they can manage both for launch then marvellous but I really doubt that there's sufficient resources and time to accomplish both as well as all the other important areas that need to be in a decent state by launch.

Good question. Something I would love taxiing to the ramp. Marsheller even just that. Gimme just that. Then I'll decide if I need a baggage truck from 3rd party.

Yes we saw, on the lauch trailer, when the A320 is being pushed back, there is people moving around. Also on the Hangar scene.

Exactly. In other words, I have no bloody idea. Nobody said squat about the hangars from any interviews and preview videos. And new ones keep popping up..

I have been looking a 4K videos and MSFS2020 is really bad when landing, for example, at Renton (around 22:30 but the video shows many, many landings at Renton until the end).  The runway is the blurriest runway I have ever seen.  If they allow airport scenery like that done by Drzewiecki for Renton, then this will not be a problem.  But it is really blurry even in 4K and wondering if airports will be like this around the world when this is released.  I also noted "the blurries" when flying around the Seattle area which indicates to me one will need a computer with a lot of resources.  Wonder what the computer specs were when the video was made.  Hopefully not the top of the line.

The first part is okay but, when you get to the darker areas it looks really bad.

Thank you for posting that exact view. I don’t recall seeing it or I missed it.

That actually is a great example of how much a third-party could add to even a showcase airport like KRNT. 

There is a ton of detail missing still around the airport there, including having the several years old straight blast fence still.
