Gotta stop watching these vids, makes my heart race. RIP FSX FSX-SE P3D and XP11

Hello MSFS and DCS

Another jaw-dropping episode...!

I appreciate the talented folks at Asobo are non-native English speakers, but I’m a little surprised at Microsoft not checking the presentation for blatant grammatical errors prior to publication (“aircrafts”?). 

How Petty! And of zero importance to all!

With black Friday and cyber Monday around the corner, it would nice if we could hear about what kinda super beast computer is going to be needed to run this thing like the videos.

We have a year to wait.. 

Wait for Black Friday & Cyber Monday 2020..

Pretty sure no differance to any other modern 'game" Take a look at DCS and what their requirements are. You wont need a NASA powered PC

Call me crazy but for the first time ever I think a hot air balloon would be interesting in this sim.

OMG you’re so right. Balloons. No further justification is needed as it’s the obvious corollary to this episode. Just think of the modding potential!

I bet PMDG will issue an update as soon as MSFS is released to prevent users from porting their aircrafts to the new sim using legacy file system and physics, just like they did when P3D was released.

Then they will make us pay the same price for the legacy version, and we'll have to buy a third time an even more expensive version with the new physics.

Very likely. Start saving

This video is exactly what I have wanted to see and hear for 20 years

Re study level aircraft comments- the most important aspect is getting the sim physics accurate so that you don’t have to then fake fuel burn, ground friction, hack the aero package artistically to achieve 1 flight regime at a fixed Mach

I am soo excited that it seem like we will be able to populate real world data into the “airfile” and achieve accurate aerodynamic/thrust performance. Really hoping the EPR table has been fixed here also?

So when it comes to complex cockpits, leave the systems to the 3rd parties  but allowing them to read sim variables only will make life so much easier

Fair enough 😉 anyway back to the subject at hand:

Austin - “So let’s talk about Blade Element Theory.”

Sebastian - “Hold my beer...”

I don’t think it will be the same requirements as any other modern game, at least not current modern games. Games are tracking towards needing more powerful CPUs than they have over the last decade, and the new consoles seem to be compounding that direction too. I think this is going to be similar to modern games in 2020+, but will make proper use of beefy CPUs with all this aero calculation going on.

My take - I would have left it alone.  It's authentic - like their accents.  It's who they are.

A matter of taste, of course, so pros can disagree about this.

Nitpicking about this silly, unimportant stuff is the best way to demotivate the entire team.

I speak from experience, as a former professional programmer myself.

Cheers.

The most important question still remains.......how fast and reliable do our internet connections need to be to see and feel all of this detail without interruptions?

[Superdelphinus]

What did Sebastian say in french at the end of the video?

What is this "feedback snapshot" ? anybody know, thanks

From the October 10th update:

FEEDBACK PIPELINE

 TLDR  – There is a Feedback Dashboard. The dashboard contains a summary of all feedback we collect from community discussions on a daily basis. Feedback is triaged, prioritized, and assigned a plan of action. We will provide the output of this pipeline to the community in a document tentatively called the “Feedback Snapshot” on a regular basis.
