May 7, 20206 yr May 7th, 2020 Development Update POSTED BY: MICROSOFT FLIGHT SIMULATOR TEAM Screenshot by OperatorLand468 “We would like to see rapids in rivers, with fly fisher-people on the banks. There should be snakes, on the banks, and salmon leaping up the rapids. We need bears… we need bears catching the salmon, and it would be ideal if we could fish. Furthermore, we’d like an accurate climate change model with Icebergs and Antarctic Ice shelves breaking off from the mainland with Polar Bears and Seals. And finally, if MSFS does not accurately model the Sun’s eventual evolution into a Red Giant, we question their long-term commitment to the sim.” Avsim Users Alright, so let me see… we’ve got an order of rocky water rivers with a side of curly fries and fish sticks. One order of wild salmon with a side of claws. One ice cream with gummi bears and sea salt toppings. Also one bottomless tequila sunrise. If that looks right, please pull forward to the first window. – MSFS TEAM Here is an update on the current postponed deliverables: MAY 28th – EPISODE 8 (IFR) is our current target release date.

May 7, 20206 yr Author There are a couple of videos as well that cannot be embedded. Make sure to click the links!
May 7, 20206 yr Do I need to get my eyes checked or is this sim looking better with each update??? 5800X3D. 32 GB RAM. 1TB SATA SSD. 3TB HDD. RX 9070XT.
May 7, 20206 yr The 2nd video clip by Chico Mick is phenomenal. Puts a new meaning to a “white knuckle ride”! Chris Sunseri
May 7, 20206 yr Looking good as always 😉 Really nice to see that snow pic; gonna have a fun time flying into Aspen and Eagle Co. Also, cool pic there of Gibraltar, wonder if it'll be the version of the road going across the airfield or around it? Hope to see Madeira soon as well 😉
May 7, 20206 yr The first video also has a lot of examples of AI using the ATC. Going to need to freeze frame it to read any of it, but yeah Edited May 7, 20206 yr by Tuskin38

May 7, 20206 yr 8 minutes ago, Krakin said: Do I need to get my eyes checked or is this sim looking better with each update??? Yes indeed, it looks great... This is the latest Alpha build I suppose and things are evolving nicely in the world of MSFS... No one will ever complain about the grass now hopefully... Well, one less thing for people here to worry about 😁 ________________________________LEBOR SIMULATIONSScenery for Flight Simulators since 1998
