Please bring back a Fly-By view, that then ends in a cinematic Chase Plane view, where the view is cinematic like in a movie, with the camera bobbing, banking to keep up with the plane.
It would be a lot like the Cinema Cut-scene effects of the opening graphics when you have finished loading a flight , and there are different views of your aircraft, taxiing to the runway, before the Yellow ‘Ready to Fly’ button comes up.
Unfortunately another Dev Q&A where this wasn’t tackled at all.
Maybe it is too difficult to implement? Maybe there’s too many aircraft now developed or published by Asobo that would need flyby sounds added or at least a way of the engine getting louder depending on distance.
Whatever the reason, it really doesn’t feel like it will ever be added or even addressed in MS2020. Which is a massive shame considering how many votes this particular wishlist has.
It does seem we have an answer to this wishlist thread. Although it’s still never been addressed on any Dev Livestream, it does say on the Wishlist on the Development Update, “Planned MS2024” so any hopes of this being added to MS2020 are probably gone however hopefully it’ll be in MS2024 at launch.
I guess the reason is that it’s difficult to implement due to memory problems.
When you press on a “outside” view you”ll see what they mean, choppy, stuttering and laggy at first. Later it becomes smooth.
So, for a good fly by view like the one in DCS or XP you need a better memory management in the graphical engine.
Now, MSFS 2024 will probably have a much better engine or so…
Yes! Playing ATC was a blast!
