Interesting episode, although most things were already known from previous interviews.

Anyway, from what we know, XP12 could become the BENCHMARK among the general purpose flight sims for weather realism as well. I mean, not just IFR (that's almost a given that XP12 will continue to be the benchmark for that), but weather conditions in general.

Flight model, weather... I would not rule out that XP12 will set new benchmarks and be the sim of choice for other aspects as well! 👍

Sort of...

It's going to be super interesting what the 3PDevs do with the weather system. Or maybe they are not needed at all!

They said similar in MFS, but 3rd parties soon found things they could do improve on. :smile:. Although I'm looking forward to seeing what devs manage to do with the sim, I'm personally happy that I don't need to install piles of addons and hacks that begin with "x" to give half-decent looking skies. 

Either way, it's a massive improvement over XP11 and very welcomed at that. I had given up hope with xEnviro, so to have decent weather built-in to the sim is a real bonus and it's great just how much decent lighting and atmospherics can improve the appearance of the entire sim. 

And we need Tony back at top notch scenery development too!!!

Seems XP12 has potential to be the serious sim of choice, good thing.
