Could Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Be Coming to Switch 2 and PS5

 

Shame on these Devs.

It's not a Zero Sum situation, Greazer.

Maybe you think it's more like a Pie, where there's only so much development time to go around...?

Hopefully not, the sim was destroyed when it came to xbox and still has never recovered even with the new sim.

That's definitely An Opinion.

SMH...😤

This is an old rumour that keeps doing the rounds, whether it's happens who knows. My issue with it is they can't even get it working properly on their own Xbox ecosystem, how are they gonna manage two more alongside the PC that is continually hampered by issues?

The poor release of 2024 alone is proof they're trying to do too much too quickly, as a result we got a shoddy release that's going to take the best part of a full year to "fix".

I get it, the income would be great for M$ and that same income could go into more development, but at what expense to the player? 

I still have v2020 installed.

Never feel the slightest urge to fly it instead of v2024.

On the other hand. I've seen a load of criticism about Asobo having to make the sim fit both PC and XBox. What is the likely outcome of throwing a few more platforms into the mix?

Well it plays on my phone, so maybe will be Xbox cloud gaming only?

Hopefully not, the sim was destroyed when it came to xbox and still has never recovered even with the new sim. Yet another platform will surely make things worse yet again.

Yes it's destroying the sim.  Former simmers seem to be unaware they are being converted to flight gamers.  The are sitting at the terminal waiting for their sim to download from cloud servers, thinking this is actually normal.

converted to flight gamers

Is this what I have become now??? A flight ... gamer?!! 

The horror.. oh the horror. 

What the...

 

Yeah, newsflash, it's a game. I thought we'd get past that after we had to pretend we were student pilots to get around the p3d licensing.

 

The thing is, a game can be very realistic. It can also be an actual simulation but, sorry, unless you're a real pilot who only flies a plane you actually own in the sim and strictly for training purposes, guess what? You're a gamer. And that's OK. It's a fun game. It's a great game. It's even a game where you can learn things about how the real world works. It's a game with a very steep learning curve if you want to get the most out of it, but it is most definitely a game. Even under P3d, Lockheed tacitly admitted it was a game. A training system would not come with the Lockheed Constellation because hardly anyone flies that anymore. It wouldn't come with an F22 because if you're actually training to fly one of those things, you have access to better stuff than p3d. It wouldn't come with two submarines because it's supposed to be a flight trainer.

If even the makers of the Flight Sim offshoot that's supposed to be purely for training purposes are admitting that yes, people absolutely do use it as a game, then surely we simmers can admit that we're simming in a game too.

a broken wrist and a broken hand, now THAT "annoys" me... 

I broke my wrist a year ago this month, and spent 8 weeks in a cast. Scaphoid fracture. Luckily non-displaced, no surgery or internal fixation required, so I was very thankful for that. But the cast was a pain. And it was my dominant (right) hand. One funny development was that I had to use a mouse with my left hand for that duration, and I never switched back after the cast came off. Ever since then, I've been using the mouse with my left hand.

LOL.  I've seen some interesting threads created over the years.

This one is up there.

Wow, the doom and gloom the OP thinks is going to be forced upon us is laughable.

Anyway, I'm back to enjoying an amazing sim that was resurrected by ASOBO and MS after many years of having to jigsaw puzzle together FSX and P3D.

Glad they invested the resources in bringing us the best consumer grade flight sim to our desktops.

Enjoy your virtual flights everyone.
