MS Flight Simulator dev roadmap, insider program launched and new screens/videos

[christocolus]

After watching the OG trailer, I came off with the impression that the reflections on some surfaces at least *might* be.

interesting. I hope you guys do your usual analysis once we get more vids.

If you don't like fan trailers, just view all the same content in the original intended context here:

Weird that I signed up for insider emails and they didn't email me that they're posting updates on the official blog, and an entire development roadmap. Kind of ruins the content seeing it like this.

 

[Radicality Incident]

Man I fly actual planes and this is honestly looking better than real life. Although thats probably because I fly mostly in flat boring terrain and not cool mountains and shit.

 

[BIG J]

if you guys had to guess, what pc specs would run this

 

[abracadaver]

Is there a chance for VR support?

Yeah, also didn't get an e-mail. Will see what happens.

That looked like some kind of documentary taken in native 4K to me mhh. Is this the official trailer? What in the actual fuck?? What kind of GPU would that quality need. Still rocking my MSI 770 GTX 2GB lol.

Thanks mate. Looks incredible goddamn!

 

[Tortillo VI]

Imagine if they reboot Combat Flight Simulator later with this tech. With options for both simulation and a bit more arcadey, multiplayer, WW2 setting, different campaigns... Day 1.

Seeing the quality I'd say the ones used to run the Matrix hahah

 

[William_Herschel]

So maybe I'm an idiot, but this is coming to Xbox in addition to windows 10, right?

lol
hopefully an i7-9700k and rtx 2080 is good enough to run max and good fps

To run it the specs of a Regular Xbox one are enough, Doubt it will look that good on it tho.

Yes

Yes. But PC will be the focus first.

 

[USIGSJ]

This thing looks fantastic.

 

[SP.]

This is the one thing I'd be willing to go out and buy a VR headset for. Holy shit.

 

[Gowans]

Wow, can't wait.

Wonder if it has a year in insider like Sea of Thieves

 

[secretanchitman]

Good lord the game looks amazing.

 

[DoctorDake]

This looks absolutely insane. I'm so excited.

 

[BennyWhatever]

So I didn't play any other flight simulator game besides Falcon 4.0.

Can you fly fighter jets like the F-16 and stuff in this? Is there dog fighting at all?

Usually there's a variety of aircraft, from private planes like Cessnas or Cherokees, gliders, commercial planes, and some military jets, but no combat.

Thanks for the replies! This might be a "wait and see" game for me then, because it does look stunning but I'm afraid I'll get bored.

 

[Deleted member 54292]

this looks mindblowing. huge accomplishment for the dev team!

 

[Defect]

I never thought I'd be excited for a Flight Sim but this looks amazing.

 

[space_nut]

Sneak peak at Forza Horizon 5 graphics :)


Heck even the next Fable!!

 

[Peru]

I'm now choosing to trust Phil Spencer who said you don't need a crazy PC for this because computing is lifted to the cloud

 

[FinKL]

So you're saying people are "testing" this as we speak?! Drool, this is a system seller/killer app for sure

Its gonna be most popular on PC for sure. I mean if they do it right. Steam release, good 3rd party support and VR. Its easy sales.

[elenarie]

When was the program supposed to start?

EDIT: 12th of September is the sign up, apparently.

 

[Komo]

With some of those videos I wasn't even sure if it was game footage or real recordings, holy moly o0

Click to shrink...

Yeah holy fuck this game looks unreal

Can't wait.- b.scott

 

[Theorry]

MS has some serious graphical power houses in their sleeves

 

[Sky87]

This must be the best looking game in history, something i would have expected out of next-gen.
