I'm going to crash the place into my house.

i have sad because i didn't get in this week's technical alpha

 

[JLB]

The devs have alreadys said this is a simulator first, nothing changes from the previous ones just hopefully not having to add 1,000 DLC packs. I'm sure they will make an xbox version that flys easier with a controller but, will get a lot of new people into it.

I dont think they can make this game to work with a pad. Theres just too much actions to be mapped.
HOTAS plus kb there we go.

Lol thats my plan as well

I'm going to crash the place into my house.

I'm curious if a three car long driveway is enough to land a 747. I need a new garage door anyways.

Thankfully there are HOTAS compatible with Xbox. Plus Xbox consoles support keyboard and mouse. However I'm sure the game will play comfortably with a controller. Elite Dangerous is another example of a game that plays well on the Xbox with a controller. A game with a huge array of keyboard commands on PC.

its all sounds better and better , and its like too good to be real . why then other engines are not as good ??

I don't have interest in learning a ton of commands on a gamepad.

I'm hoping this game just has an arcadey basic control option no matter which plane you choose. I just want to fly the plane with the usual accelerate/brake/yaw thing and that's it. I don't even want to worry about fuel.

And no way I want to worry about all the gauges, or if the condensation building up in the shit pipe in the bathroom is getting too thick requiring anti-shit pipe defoggers by pressing LT+RT+A+B+Shoryukin circle strafe.

And my Xbox Game Pass for PC keeps reminding me why it's easily the best $5/mo I spend - and if it goes to $10, still more than worth it.

Microsoft Flight Simulator head says devs are “five years” from using an open source model of Earth

I never would’ve imagined years ago we’d be getting sims that looked like this. It’s nuts.

Do these sims also model emergencies?

Yeah, FSX can simulate various failures / malfunctions, so I imagine this one will too. Generally though that doesn't happen in regular flight, it's more of a thing where you have a specific scenario to simulate an engine out or something.

I'd love to see it incorporated as an option into the main sim with statistical probability kicked up a bit from RL to make it a bit more unpredictable. Would also love to see a DLC disaster pack modelling real past aviation emergencies. Always been curious how the hell the pilots managed to keep JAL 123 aloft for half an hour after losing the entire VS.

New interview with Jörg Neumann

"STANDARD: How is the Flight Simulator technically possible? Jörg Neumann: Future technology! It all started when I was working on a project around Hololens. The idea behind it was that you can visit certain places in the world. It all looked good and felt like you were right there. Then I asked ...

Because nothing else is live streaming massive amounts of terrain detail realtime from the cloud (servers) like this is.

When is this coming out because I might need a new GPU but kinda want to wait for Nvidia to drop their new line of GPU's.

Unknown. All it says is a vague 2020.
