  1. That’s unfortunate. He’s really an entertaining guy and I enjoyed listening to some of his talks! Hopefully Microsoft/Asobo have something in the works.
  2. I just remembered the abundance of flight training options a user had in FSX where you could read up and take flight lessons with Rod Machado. You could even get your “virtual certificates” and take simulated checkrides with an FAA examiner! Its probably too late for big feature requests but I thought it would be cool if Microsoft partnered up with Rod or maybe even King Schools again to have a flight training side of the simulator for individuals who would like to further their knowledge on flight and sharpen flying skills! I feel like this would be beneficial for the hobby and turn more “casuals” into simmers or maybe even pilots! what are your thoughts? -Trevor
  3. Did anyone notice in the night picture that there was text at the bottom that had a radio call? Seems like they have some sort of Atc in the sim already or it was apart of a mission🧐 regardless, I’m excited for the future!
  4. This whole post is almost exactly what I wanted to post when we received the announcement back at E3. To less of an extent of course. To put simply, we must not over hype the simulator because we don’t want people saying “this sucks I’m going back to Xplane/P3d...etc”. For years we we have dreamed that Microsoft would return to the flight simulator franchise so let’s not screw this up! Meaning let’s give it a chance no matter what because Asobo seems very dedicated to making this simulator the best it can be. Even if it’s not completely perfect at release, they have made it clear that they will work on features after release. Basically we don’t want to lose all momentum with the simulator due to peoples expectations not being met and have Microsoft abandon it. That’s really the only thing I’m worried about. I know we are in good hands with Asobo, its the reception to the public I’m worried about.
  5. -Not sure if this has been said- music player integration (Spotify, amazon music... etc) Allows you to play music through the sim when doing long haul flights and lowers/pauses when ATC or other players talk to you ( just like real life when using Bose A20’s) This would obviously be low priority but cool to have!
  6. I wouldn't say wasted. They definitely should be focusing on other priorities for launch, but missions should be apart of the sim and be well made (Even If they are post launch). Playing missions in FSX was a refreshing experience from just flying around in free flight, and it was super enjoyable to "pretend" that you were a captain of an airliner, or flying some rich person around in a Learjet. Even the wild missions were pretty fun! I cant imagine how immersive they will be in MSFS2020 with the eyecandy, and especially when they implement VR!
  7. Integration with Ipads using Garmin Pilot or Foreflight via LAN
  8. Found this Video and wasn't sure if you guys have seen it yet. Looks very promising to me! https://youtu.be/RciDscnzJb8
  9. I'm more concerned to see how Azure will transition from the 3D photogrammetry to regular autogen. Will it look like Bing maps where the coverage just stops? i'm sure it would look good enough if the autogen was somehow placed accurately over the houses, and had various buildings to choose from. That way the coverage does not seem to just stop at the edge of cities!
  10. + 1 for Vr support! Flying Sim while in Vr is the closest thing to actually flying! (for me at least) My Oculus Rift CV1 is not the best in terms of resolution but I have tried the new Rift S and the screen is noticeably better! I also have heard great things about the new HP Reverb though. the tech is still moving forward so I hope Vr is a default feature.
  11. Personally I was not a huge fan of the Aerocache system in flight. If they add it, I hope they make it a separate mode or add it into a mission rather than have it in the open world via "Free Flight". I could see many people complaining that it would be an immersion breaker, but I really enjoy how the microsoft series of sims hasn't been JUST free flight because it creates more things to do if you get bored doing sim things!😁
  12. I know this is not really a necessity and would be purely for entertainment buuuuuut. I would like to see some more Immersive missions like we have seen in FSX and especially ones with multiple outcomes! It would be cool to have a mission where you fly to the Oshkosh Airshow and have to follow all the arrival procedures and then have a departure mission. that would actually help more people get familiar with the real world arrival/ departure procedures and also be super fun for any aviation enthusiast!
  13. (-Disclaimer- this is pure speculation) On the FSI website the devs say the next update will be on July 25th. The EAA Oshkosh Airshow/ Fly-in is this week and I have no idea if this is pure coincidence or that they will somehow have a booth. They obviously do not have a finished simulator so the chances of them making an appearance are pretty slim, but the fact that the update falls during the same week as the largest aviation event just makes me wonder! what are your guys' thoughts? If they did somehow show up, what would they do/have to show off the sim?
  14. "Artist Concept Image" I'm more worried about the simulator having all the same features as fsx and not being like Flight.
  15. I saw some of you guys saying 16GB of ram is sometimes not enough to use this. What kind of performance would I have to expect with only 8GB? Haha this looks really good but I can’t afford to lose more performance, especially if I am wanting to use VR! I remember you could get some performance gains with FTX global in P3D (or maybe it was just me).
