A series of images comparing Flight Simulator screenshots to their real-world counterparts.
Today third-party developers shared quite a lot of interesting news and releases of add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator, including aircraft and scenery.
Today is a big day for Microsoft Flight Simulator, with plenty of juicy news and releases across aircraft and scenery add-ons.
Microsoft revealed sales numbers for the Antonov an-225 released for Microsoft Flight Simulator, with proceeds going to the Ukrainian manufacturer.
the funny thing is, these are some of the first next gen graphics we've seen and nobody has said anything about it. all ray tracing support is already in, etc and there will be tons of data/texture streaming. Yes it will run on the xbox one too but not like the series x or pc will run it. also will be another showcase for smart delivery. ms is definitely got their sh*t together for gen 9
By the end of nextgen, it will get closer to reality.
I am more worried about the physics, flight modelling and depth of simulation, these are areas that previous Flight Sims relied on 3rd parties through mods and retail add-ons etc. In my experience, MS Flight Sims take a couple of years before they are decent 'simulators'.
Game of the year.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't they announce that the landscapes were actually generated via satellite imagery?
