January 17, 20206 yr I'm speechless. I'm starting to think this actually is a virtual travel system; with such biome system, I can simply explore the world from my couch, plane or not.
January 17, 20206 yr I suspect the rename of the testing to just "Alpha" is probably meant to represent that they are no longer doing discrete tests - more that the alpha is going to be a rolling thing they occasionally invite more people to. So now they can just roll out new testing clients whenever they want, instead of having discrete testing flights.

Imagine the possibilities, Microsoft could comback to Train simulator as well in this same world, maybe a ship/boat simulator as well.
January 17, 20206 yr Amazing sounds! Really happy to see ground vehicles and airport elevations. Take a look at 8:46 and pause in the video. If you look at the taxiway\runway lights in the distance, you can clearly see taxiway\runway elevations are there. No more flat runways! And those waves... They change height based on wind speed.... incredible! Sante Sottile

January 17, 20206 yr Waiting for the first "Incredible audio is all well and good but..." lol 5800X3D. 32 GB RAM. 1TB SATA SSD. 3TB HDD. RX 9070XT.
January 17, 20206 yr Okay, it might seem odd to say but this was my favorite Feature Discovery vid yet. The soundscape in this is utterly amazing. I'm literally blown away by what they've done. The graphics shown off in this vid were spectacular too, but the dynamism of the sounds is just incredible. They gave this sim the wrong name. It's not Microsoft Flight Simulator, it's Microsoft Earth Simulator!!!!!
January 17, 20206 yr Wow.

January 17, 20206 yr Can't wait for Earth Sim 2020. Take-offs are optional, landings are mandatory.The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire. To make a small fortune in aviation you must start with a large fortune.There's nothing less important than the runway behind you and the altitude above you. It's better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air, than in the air wishing you were on the ground.
January 17, 20206 yr I am done with FSX completely - I have one system just for FSX and few addons like pmdg md-11 (yeah, I own the CD version). Right now I have 3 windows systems - FSX, P3Dv4.5 and Xplane 11. Just gonna get rid of FSX-SE once and for all and reclaim 512GB SSD I wanna sit on any spot on the planet (hopefully in VR) and hear the birds with this sim - 😜 Edited January 17, 20206 yr by Skywolf How I Evaluate Third Party Sim Addon Developers Refined P3Dv5.0 HF2 Settings Part1 (has MaddogX) and older thread Part 2 (has PMDG 747)
