September 30, 20241 yr Evolution with some revolutionary aspects 5800X3D. 32 GB RAM. 1TB SATA SSD. 3TB HDD. RX 9070XT.
September 30, 20241 yr It's an evolution into more of a video game than a simulator for sure. Easily can't defend it being a simulator with its target audience and game like features being added such as career mode.

So if you add optional game-y features to a simulator, it's no longer a simulator? Even if all the simulator stuff is still there, AND you can still use it as a simulator just like before...?

Some of us will be happy to use the flight simulator part… Bernard CPU = 12900K / GPU = Nvidia 3090 VRAM 24 GB / RAM = 64 GB / SSD = 2 TB 980 PRO PCle 4.0 NVMe™ M.2,
September 30, 20241 yr Let’s not kid ourselves. They’re all games; MSFS, Xplane, P3D ‘academic’ version. They’re entertainment software designed to run on a home pc.
September 30, 20241 yr 15 hours ago, UrgentSiesta said: Literally evolutionary as it's built on the same code base. A highly desirable and worthwhile upgrade. 😁 MSFS2020 was revolutionary in its introduction of streamed scenery, which had never been done before in any simulator. MSFS2024, however, is evolutionary in its advancement of MSFS2020.
September 30, 20241 yr fs2020 is not being completely rejected and replaced with something else (fs2024). Even fs2020 itself was evolutionary as it did use a lot of the FSX code. A major evolution, but an evolution nonetheless. It may be better to say that there are 'revolutions' inside of a larger evolution. The ways of coding certain parts of the simulation being completely redone a different way.
September 30, 20241 yr My point about MSFS2020 being revolutionary has nothing to do with code; it was the introduction of streamed scenery for the first time in flight simulation (or any simulation as far as I know). Edited September 30, 20241 yr by cobalt

I dare you to go up to a real pilot and say that. You can't even skip the final test, most 'casual' users will probably just keep using Free Flight. Edited September 30, 20241 yr by Tuskin38
