MS uses the term “digital twin” a lot. This could have a load of uses outside of simulating vehicles. It could be a visualisation tool for anything in the real world.

Yup, exactly. The applications of this are so far reaching. Like I said before, I really think Microsoft has a golden egg in their hands. They just need to refine it and make it more advanced.

I have been a simmer for almost 30 years, and what I saw today in Microsoft’s presentation is a huge step forward in our hobby and I feel extremely happy right now. I really thank Asobo and MS for bringing flight simulation to the next level, can’t wait to see Fs2024 in action!

Completely agree. Simmer since FS4 here. And to remind, flight simulation seemed to volatize into an esoteric elitist minority hobby a few years ago.

Kind regards, Michael

This was basically what the ESP was meant to be back in the days (Flight Simulator, Train Simulator, Combat FS) and LM with P3D worked further on that.

Nah... people using MACs and mobile will still keep their x-planes installed.

Austin's turn at the podium is tomorrow.  he's always talked a lot of smack about MS but to my knowledge he's never had an opportunity to do it before while they were in the building...  lol

That recent bit of embarrassing and cringy bashing of MSFS was both sad and funny at the same time... the insecurity was palpable, as was the desperation to spread certain narratives. Guess the "glorified google earth viewer" in 2024 form is not a bad google earth viewer at all 😆

The new trend now is saying Asobo has setups running X-plane daily in their studio, so they can copy the flight model. Austin received this complaint through his e-mail. 🤣🤣🤣

I hope he brings this up at the stage.

Why are people so against other platforms.  What do you have against xplane, does it affect your enjoyment?

I never understood this community so much against other simulators.

Most of the new hires are working on getting PAPI lights and ILS approaches working properly. Nah... Just joking, no one is working on that. Little Johnny has to be rescued from the cliff with the helicopter.

That's the initial nonsense from 2021 isn't it.. that video interview from very recently is what I'm talking about. In any case I've got a feeling the mods are going to stop discussion of this topic 🙂

Yeah, at the beggining he was limiting this kind of behavior to his personal blog, now he's spreading this non sense everywhere. LOL
