I just need Microsoft to not pull the plug. They did it to us once.
But I find the default C152 and C172 and the âVirusâ to be really well done aircraft and there are tons and tons and tons of very realistic and beautiful places to fly and still we have more coming.
I have my complaints but I got my moneys worthâŠso long as the sim sticks around.
Agreed. I was so disappointed when MS announced that there would be no FX11 after FSX had dropped. I did consider swtiching to X-Plane, but I had played it before and thought it was dog. I was very happy when FS2020 was announced.
to be fair, MS Flight was doomed from the get go with a nearly entirely DLC-based model. I mean one plane and just the big island of Hawaii? Cmon manâŠ
But after 40 years of flight sim, hard to imagine what another 40 years will look like. Am i gonna get to phase into a virtual cockpit from the physical world orâŠ
Yeah impossible to imagine. Got to think we are reaching a plateau.
More processing power and better AI. Higher def sat imagery so the âbetter AIâ can do more stuff with it (walking people with actual routes they follow from home to work to shop to home). Cars / trucks that have real routes and proper âsteeringâ not glitching and bouncing back and forth on single roads like they can do now. Street furniture in high detail (traffic lights, signs, advertising, bus stops, fences, post boxes and everything else) but you ainât seeing any of that from 5k ft!
It all relies on having that global data though so may never happen to that level. And developer time to implement any more accurate physics etc so the profit needs to be there. Will be interesting to look back on this chat in 40 years and go âof course, how couldnât they see THIS happening, itâs so obvious that it wouldâ but itâs not obvious to me now!
i mean we laugh about the graphics and games of days yonder but 40 years from now, theyâll be laughing at us 40 years in the past for how primitive our video games were
Yeh right! âThe post box on my street has the wrong collection time on the sign!! It was 15:30 in 2061⊠they changed it to 16:30 since December stupid devs!!â
I donât believe so. Personally, I will not be here to see it, but probably something along the line of Holographics, where you will be able to land your aircraft and walk into the scenery. Howâs that grab ya?
Yeah maybe this is the step! Proper stereoscopic 3D without the silly headgear
And in full colour, not like Star Wars R2D2 â green lines only! Good for trees and grass but I donât think the Grand Canyon in green will really work!
It would be nice to see my friends flying those aircraft without having to purchase the DLC myself. Canât we have an option to download limited/visual assets for planes we donât own? If my buddy has a raptor I want to see that raptor zooming past meâŠnot some 737 going Mach 2.
