Yes please. This, along with seasons and decent ATC are probably my top 3 wishes that aren’t yet confirmed. VR would be 4th I think.

I don’t think it will be the same requirements as any other modern game, at least not current modern games. Games are tracking towards needing more powerful CPUs than they have over the last decade, and the new consoles seem to be compounding that direction too. I think this is going to be similar to modern games in 2020+, but will make proper use of beefy CPUs with all this aero calculation going on.

Some Bold Predictions
Superdelphinus replied to nickhod's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I think they’ll get the gfx user settings wrong/confusing a la rdr2 leading everyone to say it has massive performance issues, when really it just extends into future, unreleased hardware. i also think it will be a massive hit, perhaps surprising to some, and will lead to a renaissance of amateur modding to a very high standard. my last hot take is that it doesn’t release until mid 2021 -
New interview in French
Superdelphinus replied to seamaster55's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
It looks like they are talking about upscaling native resolutions to 4k (presumably), through an algorithm - maybe checkerboarding. My gcse french is rusty. -

Default Airports - so important
Superdelphinus replied to curt1's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Southampton looked pretty good from what you could see of it too. Perhaps airports in photogrammetry areas will be of a higher standard. -
I just read that earth simulator piece properly. That Jorg guy keeps mentioning forest fires in several things I’ve seen, and he says it again here and talks about rhinos and whales at the same time. I reckon this sim is going to get bat [wordnotallowed] crazy over the next few years. I don’t think that duck migration thing in the winter was a joke.

You are confusing a 4k video stream with an interactive gameplay stream. Unless I am misunderstanding what you mean. Didn’t fselite just play the 9 cities video and talk over the top of it?

Scenic flights in MSFS
Superdelphinus replied to Noooch's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I’ve got two plans sort of in my head (both of which will probably only last for the first one or two legs). 1 is to fly from Carlisle to Manchester vfr in a small, slow plane. Then from Manchester to heathrow in something a bit faster (ideally an sr22, but I don’t know if there are/ will be any decent versions of those?). Then London to Boston in the 747. Then I will fly over all of the nfl stadiums somehow. 2nd one is similar but all of the f1 tracks around Europe, current and old. -
I thought maybe sharing new articles in one thread might be useful? Anyway, here’s a nice one from my favourite outlet - RPS and We are “5 years away from earth simulator” according to Jorg Neumann

What monitor to play Flight Simulator 2020?
Superdelphinus replied to dtrjones's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
It must be at the very last point where it’s worth buying a 20xx series card isn’t it? -
I think you are confused?

Scenic flights in MSFS
Superdelphinus replied to Noooch's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I hope a few blogs will pop up with suggestions on stuff like this. -
Agree. Nothing wrong with games, they are fun and from a lot of learning stuff I’ve done at work recently, is the way learning things is going (or has already gone) anyway.

MSFS Subscription or Purchase?
Superdelphinus replied to BigT65's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I guess the minimum will be the ability to continue playing the offline version. Companies turning servers off has been a risk for a while now though. Ultimately they don’t really owe gamers anything and are unlikely to keep throwing money at something if it doesn’t make them any money. I think msfs will be successful though -
MSFS Subscription or Purchase?
Superdelphinus replied to BigT65's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
As someone who is basically subscribed to everything you can be subscribed to (it’s a problem), I’m pretty sure it will work like this: option 1 - buy and download the game outright, then it’s yours to play forever. option 2 - subscribe to ‘basic’ game pass and have access to download and play hundreds of games if you want them. When you stop subscribing then you can’t play the games (this is what I have now for game pass and origin). option 3 - subscribe to game pass +, and have access to download OR STREAM the game pass library. This would suit people who don’t want to wait for downloads, don’t have the space for lots of downloads, play two minutes of games and move on, etc. its a little bit like the way Spotify free and premium works just with different benefits. This is just speculation and they may have confirmed it doesn’t work like this by now, but it’s more logical than some of the confused madness above. -
Sounds like they are getting the balance just right. All the best, modern complex games are able to hide that complexity and introduce it gradually as the player is ready for it. For example, it sounds like the 747 will have total system depth but I bet there will be different stages you can jump in at, automated steps if you want to try and start from scratch but get lost, etc etc. Imagine there is a fully interactive tutorial scenario for a 747. Oh man.

XO19 MSFS Playable Demo
Superdelphinus replied to Duncan Odgers's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I think if they release a trailer in the future that starts with some world travel atc chatter, the internet could well explode in a big fiery hot mess. Or it might just be me. -
If we need to buy something like that they’ve failed in one of their objectives, which I doubt will happen.
