What’s the July Surprise? Guesses…

Featured Replies

Anyone have a good guess on what the July surprise is going to be?

Likely: Some famous flyer related to 4th of July. 
 

Hopeful: A new terrain rendering engine.

Completely overhauled ATC system…

Regardless of what the surprise is, or whether I'd want it or not, I'm grateful that Asobo and MS continually surprise us with stuff like this.  Never before in my long simming addiction has the main developer ever been this connected with the community.

I'd hope its proper season implementation. 

I also wish more simmers would become ATC controllers on VATSIM and that more people would migrate to it instead of pining away for canned spaghetti ATC (which will never actually be delivered optimally)

Did he say that would be a =good= surprise or just a surprise ?Just asking for a friend 😇...

It sounds as if the suprise, for some will be how very unsurprising it is.

I wouldn't be surprised if in the future, as the aircraft that have been released early on in MSFS 2020 release, that as these aircraft lose revenue that MS/Asobo pick these up for a modest cost and add them to the default aircraft package. It could be a policy that could save the new simmer a lot of money in their early days of simming, and any new flight sim pilot would surely decide to get MSFS ahead of any other sim if the other sims only have a few fairly basic aircraft with the said sim.
