[leak] Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 Tech alpha footage
- Thread starter Karyl
- Start date
Born too late to explore the world, born too early to die with it, born at just the right time to explore the world in Flight Simulator.
ah man, still 720p.
Need to wait until the higher resolution is available in a few minutes or so.

I said god damn. I hope there is an easy flying mode for people like me who want a more casual experience to look at the pretty graphics with a normal controller
Curious to read about what kind of national security issues a game like this would need to deal with - pulling in recent map data from satellites. There must be blackout areas or no fly zones I would imagine. What about local PDs and whatnot. An interesting wrinkle to this incredible tech showcase.
Definitively next generation through and through. From the quality of the rendering to the technology powering its methods of real world global terrain generation.
"Yes but what do you DO in the game?"
Looks incredible. I remember being amazed playing Flight Sim '95 back in the day; this would have blown my 14 year old mind.

As a lifetime flight sim enthusiast who has also flown in real life for many hours, yeah the new MFS is looking hella sweet. This is going to be a generational leap forward for flight sims no doubt.
I may as well uninstall FSX and P3D now because honestly I don't think I can enjoy them anymore, not while knowing this is coming out later this year.

I wonder what graphics card and CPU was playing with. Video is capped at 720p and 30 FPS unfortunately.
It really is. Insane how good that looks.
Are we expecting a launch for Series X perhaps?
Is it just me or are graphics settings dialed down a bit on the 2nd video? Looks flatter than all videos I've seen so far.
First one is stellar though.

probably.Also you can see his face on the webcam...not the most anonymous leak ever :D
That'd be great. If not I'm sure it'll follow shortly after.
I've watched so many fucking aviation disaster reenactments in Flight Simulators that the whole "PULL UP *beep beep* PULL UP *beep beep* PULL UP" gives me some weird faux PTSD.
IS that one of those post where people say they cant understand "game X" because all you do is "Main game mechanic"
Sim Racers - All you do is drive
Fighting games - All you do is fight
FIFA - All you do is play football.
The game is called Flight Simulator and you are disappointed all it is, is a flight simulator?
It is the Diamondstar DA62.
EDIT: No wait, the first vid is the TBM 940. The second vid is the DA62. Got them backwards, lol.

Holy shit. MS, buy Asobo while there's still time. Looks jaw dropping. I hope it plays well om Xbox One, but honestly, if it's ready, it should launch Series X. It looks fucking amazing and this is your next gen showcase. I'm getting chills just thinking how Forza's gonna look.
