so Dove tale said a few days ago that they are going to give us a few pics o there new Flight Simulator withn the next two weeks tis will excite a lot of people so I thaught let's speculate on what top 5 aircraft we want to see

So for me it's.

1 Chinook


2. Piper Cherokee


3. Tiger Moth


4. 787 Dream Liner


5. DC4


so that's what i hope to see what about you.

Nice, where did they say that?

Below are my votes, but adding a twist: Guess the bird from the cockpit pic

1

2

3

4

5

6

7

1. ?
2. C-130
3. X-15
4. Beechcraft King Air
5. Blackhawk
6. Concorde
7. B-29 ?

1. V22 Osprey (that's a guess)
2. C130J
3. SR-71
4. C208 Caravan
5. UH-60 Blackhawk
6. Concorde
7. B29



My personal choices would be for the new sim would be

Cessna 172
Cessna 310R
King Air B200
Cessna Citation II (CE550)
Bombardier Challenger 604
BBD700 Global Express XRS

But then I'm a little biased

1. B-1B
7. B-36 "Peacemaker"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convair_B-36_Peacemaker

Is the last one the Millenium Falcon?

No, the B-29 had a space in the middle

Here's the announcement

Here's their PA-18

one more

it's early days but it looks dam nice so far

I wonder if they'll get a huge case of smart and use Outerra for the world engine...

g.

I really have high hopes for this project! Fingers crossed!

After having just bought the FSX engine license?

They didn't license the FSX (ESP) engine, they licensed Flight.

g.

Don`t know the difference between FSX (ESP) engine and the Flight engine, but this is what they wrote on their FB page:

Q: Is flight school based on a similar (yet 64bit) engine to FSX?
15. Februar um 14:31
A: DTG Flight School Yes it is based on updated FSX technology - Steve

They currently do a Q&A on their FB page: https://www.facebook.com/dtgflightschool/

The original purchase announcement said they had a distribution agreement for FSX and a complete license for Flight. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a reference to that.

g.

I think "Flight" could be somewhat accurately described as "updated FSX technology" and the business model of flight almost perfectly matches Train Simulator.

It's not Flight. They've said it's not Flight.

The spokesperson over at AVSIM said they used FSX because so much was stripped out of FLIGHT and would of taken extra work to get working.

In which case it is a direct competitor to Prepar3d, which is also an "updated FSX technology". It doesn't make sense for two companies to be selling the same product. One will be the better value and the other will fail. As Prepar3d is already out, been through several versions, and adopted by many of the most dedicated FSX types, I don't see them as the one that will fail. Of course there are many who are still flying FSX or FSX:SE that either aren't aware of or simply unwilling to go P3D, but why would those same people go to a newer engine unless it is darn near 100% backwards compatible with their FSX addons... Which is very close to what FSX:SE is supposed to be: an updated, stable FSX. I don't understand all the hoopla unless Dovetail's "new" sim is radically better than Prepar3d yet still similar enough to FSX for third parties to easily convert their packages and resell them.
