are they dumbing down the physics to make this more accessible for idiots? considering it's going to run on xbox i can't help but feel like this is going to be a flight simulator designed for morons and physics modelling to suit said morons.
Its said that it'll go out 1st for PC, THEN for Xbox and dont forget that Xbox1 is more powerfull than a lot of flight simmers PC Seeing how they said that there is like 2 PETAbyte of data, whole thing might be kinda streamable so no problem either for the console. I dont think, IMO, that MS will make the same mistake they did with Flight. The trailer so far dont show anything that says ''it'll be made for morons'' Wait&see My 2 cent

I'm intrigued by the weather systems, clouds etc. If they can pull off a flight sim experience at least equal to FSX, plus great weather, I'm in. Will need a new PC though I'll be bound.
VR would be a nice touch too.

That the scenery is a stream could be a bad thing. The streaming aspect will could off a huge area of past Flight Sim secondary markets.

That scenery looks better than Google Earth! What company is going to compete with a TWO PETABYTE scenery package??? I guess it's theoretically possible to improve upon this for a local area, but come on! Give me a criticism of the ground scenery you see in that video!

Hard to criticize any scenery when they're picking the camera angles, altitude and time of day. Not enough information to form a full opinion yet. Besides, what flight sim in modern history's terrain was "good enough?" We've modded many of them.

Besides, what flight sim in modern history's terrain was "good enough?" We've modded many of them. I get your point, but for THAT kind of quality? Just how anal are we going to BE about this? I'll take the most photorealistic scenery over day/time/season adjustments with compromises any time... Don't get me wrong, I think Microsoft did a great thing with those capabilities, but at the end of the day (pun not intended) I'd rather have the best possible scenery, and I don't care if I'm "flying" at 10pm and it's lit up like broad daylight...

The one obvious problem with MS Flight Simulator is the lack of guns on the planes.
Hell, mine in real life might be fake, but at least it's up there on the top wing.
The opinions of this poster are largely based on facts and portray a possible version of the actual events. More dumb stuff at http://www.darts-page.comFrom Laser: "The forum is the place where combat (real time) flight simulator fans come to play turn based strategy combat."

I for one am following this, I think they're going to come BACK! Scroll down for the "official statement"... https://fsi.microsoftstudios.comI think they can pull this off - I do not predict "vaporware" on this... 1. We are making Microsoft Flight Simulator. Emphasis on the word SIMULATOR. 2. Designed for PC, optimized for multiplatform support (e.g. Xbox).

For me the most important part is they're starting from scratch.
Well, not to say there won't be "old code" in this, but they're clearly doing a major shift from what could have been "FS11", let alone the disaster that was "Flight"...
It was high time for a "reboot", years ago...
And if they're streaming the scenery from a TWO PETABYTE database? Hey, I'm not at ALL a fan of "internet connection required", but for this, yeah, I'm on board all the way...
I've long dreamed of a flight simulator that could somehow get it's scenery from something like Google Earth, yet still be a flight simulator...
I'm excited...

Forget their actual update today, but I found THIS video quite interesting... You'd better be hardcore interested in a new MSFS for this one though... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyBeRmOLnBA

And then they just add the word COMBAT in there and use the same campaign engine they had for CFS and I am in heaven!
