Looks incredible, this is a GOTY contender.

They put a lot of effort in the terrain level stuff this time.

Devs said 4000x more detail. G'damn.

It's a lot more important seeing as they will have ground level missions.
I'm interested to see of they have figured out how to handle cranes. They always looked like absolute crap in the original.

 

[Imtjnotu]

Love all the ground level detail for being 30k feet in the air

Including tessellation and ground deformation no more no less.

You just never know when you feel like doing a barrel roll with a 747 some 35-40 feet above ground.

Wonder how big the region it is loading at a time is?

I think the next lander guys or someone said that they inherited animals etc from another game for the different regions too, so flying low in Africa etc, you will see region specific animals dotting the grounds.

And the whole world data is close to a Petabyte, hence this needs a connection to stream content in.

I'm getting this on Steam. Messed around with 2020 on game pass at release and it was one of the coolest gaming (sim I suppose) experiences I've had. Don't care about planes or campaign mode all that much, but I'll try it out. Never even learnt to take off or land properly. I just wanna check out my house, or the Orkney Islands.. Or Rio? Siberia? The "game world" is just insane and I'm really looking forward to the upgraded graphics.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Asobo are graphic wizards

Insane that we get this detail in a flight sim.

 

[Denton]

Insanity in the best way

 

[Mattyp]

Next gen shit.

I meant construction cranes in cities. The AI could detect that they had height but nothing else so they ended up being these weird sections of flat geometry floating in space.

I think it's unfair that MS isn't releasing it on PS5. Sony would never do that.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

The font is good

 

[hussar16]

2020 looks more realstic .yes 24 has more detail but 20 looks better

Eyes. Open them properly.

There are enough Gameplay footage/previews tha allow us to say that this is not.

 

[RJMacready73]

What is this coming to PlayStation FFS, I'd love to play this

 

[Musashipan]

That's next gen graphics
Impressive

Hoping we get better performance this time.

I’m sure they’ll have a toned down version for consoles

 

[Timberwolf25]

I need them to do an Airwolf themed release so I can get my Stringfellow Hawk groove on
And make sure to include the opening theme music

 

[Edgelord79]

Seriously though, that tech is crazy. Wonder what kind of requirements you’ll need to get that quality.

 

[Mr1999]

Nice, I was just looking at this. I cant wait. Just an FYI, if you bought it on Steam and want your previous purchases to sync up, you have to buy the steam version of 2024 which will be available for preorder on the 26th. I have spent a small fortune on upgrades, utilities, most if not all promised 2024 compatibility, but some may charge.

 

[Come On Tars]

Was not expecting that big of jump in quality. Time to fly into my house again

[Mr.Phoenix]

So I could legit say Playstation would be the best console to play this on and not be trolling?

Strange times we live in... cats and dogs having babies.

 

[GMAK2442]

This is true. With a modern PC, chance are good.

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

How far we've come in the 40+ years this franchise has existed.
Flight Simulator has become MS Games' magnum opus.

For reference: MS Flight Simulator 1.0 (1982):

Even if it's true, you'd still be trolling.
