I wonder if it's even possible, to take the algorithm's used to make all these realistic landcapes, buildings and roads, and make it all drive able (World Trucking Simulator)

Just an insane looking game.

So this will be available on PC first. But will it be available on Xbox One later? Or just on Xbox series X?

Sorry I couldn't find the info at the website. I just see Windows 10 and XBox Games Studios, but not sure if that implies a console version.

Mmm, I thought they were retrouching by hand nearly all of the most famous world monuments, but la Sagrada Familia looks like fucking google maps ass.

They will use streaming to load the maps to the game, better connection means better map quality but might be entirely based on the quality that bing uses on their available maps.

The biggest surprise of Microsoft Flight Simulator: it makes Bing cool

We spent hours exploring the pre-alpha’s landscapes, streamed in from the cloud

It´s also talked about in one of the videos they released but not sure which one.

Maybe thats why its still in alpha. ;)
I hope, it will be a pity if spanish famous monuments were not worked in good by hand in good quality for the final version while others are for other countries (like the castle in the fourth screenshot). La Sagrada Familia being the most famous one with La alhambra mean that if La Sagrada Familia is given only the map quality treatment, the rest are going to have similar shit quality.

How many 4080Ti Supers do I need for this?

I'm not an expert at all, but shouldn't this be surprisingly easy to run? I'd think it'd be similar to a racing game, nothing is really being animated, and isn't most of the scenery pre-rendered?

I could be totally off here and I'm sure it will take a beast of a rig to fully max it out, but I expect it will reasonably playable on a modest PC setup or X1X.

Is the HOTAS controller good enough for this? I thought that this kind of games required more buttons if you wanted to go for the simulation route

In case you're wondering - this is what reality looks like.

(I see no difference)
it looks worse than the game!

Any good flight sims to mess around while I wait for this?

I don't have any peripherals but looking for something I can perhaps use a controller + keyboard combination with.

Can someone take this tech and make a worldwide battlefield style game where you can go any real location in the world and fight

I don't know if a flight sim game is 'my thing', but with this coming to game pass, and looking that good, I gotta give it a shot.

HOTAS plus your regular keyboard is enough for the simpler planes. Flying a C172 doesn't require lots of controls.

While I have a Saitek X52 Pro the truth is I often fly X-Plane 11 more with an Xbox Controller.

There's TitanIM/Titan Vanguard which uses the Outerra engine, but it's only for Military Training use.
It's rumored that the resurrected Microprose's new game might use the same technology since it's run by the same guy who runs Titan.

Its bloody gorgeous. Probably a waste to play this on one monitor eh? Looks like its set to work with a whole lot of them for immersion.

Cool! I remember seeing Outerra engine but didn't see any practical games for it... I can see someone creating something like this eventually in the future, it seems inevitable!

I'm eagerly waiting to see if they post any of the screenshots I've shared on the Insider forum, they're wide 3440x1440 screenshots too so I hope to see them pop up in one of these posts.

SimTom is turning out like SunhiLegend, sort of the unofficial photographer for MS2020. He's got an eye for getting good shots out of it.
