Microsoft Flight Simulator - X019 - Gameplay Trailer
- Thread starter Theorry
- Start date
Admittedly, I haven't really kept up with xplane add-ons since the 737 classic came out, but the simulation of cumulonimbus clouds were always kind of a weak point in Xplane (and most flight sims). MSFS 2020 is the first time I've ever seen them look right.
Better be cause I'm not building a PC for this.... but I might buy a gaming laptop just for this when VR happens.
The detail in this Earth model is too good for a flight sim only. I think Microsoft must have grander plans for it, including a Google Earth killer.
Yeah they're using 2 petabytes of bing maps data to model the entire planet.
They have already said it will hit Xbox One sometime after the PC release.
I assume it will support all kinds of control types on both platforms. I wouldn't expect it to hit xbox one until 2021 at the earliest though.
They did Copenhagen! And at about 3:51-55, I can in fact see my apartment in that video (in pretty accurate detail)! I can't wait to see the final version of this game!
Motherf... like 35 seconds into the video you can see a building I've stayed in once in Barcelona.
It should look realistic? I mean, this is literally Azure Maps being rendered in the game.

Just 2020. There is some insider program started now and will expand more and more.
That IGN video is pretty insane.... things I noticed
1) low flying over Venice was impressive as hell.. shadow cast on water was very cool
2) South Hampton.. the clouds and how it changes the lighting on the ground WOW
3) Fog in the last city. .. mind blowing
4) Certainly some pop in which is to be expected and who knows on the final product
5) Noticed a few floating cars at the top of the building level, another thing that no doubt will be tweaked but I can forgive stuff like this
Super excited to see my home town (Twin Cities) and explore so many places I have wanted to visit...

Genuinely excited for this after the drought of MS Flight Sim releases.
That trailer was truly next gen and out of this world, have watched it almost 10 times now, amazing jump cuts with great music sealed the deal.
Just think about it, it has taken over 20 years of technology to get a game like this, only possible with the advances in rendering technology and graphics power we now have, and not to forget the cloud integration and bing MAPs integration of the entire planet!!!
Can't wait for release!

You know what I really want this game to have? A "What's that?" feature. You can just look at a building or bridge or whatever and click it, and a link gets made to tell you what that big fancy building is in the real world. They are already streaming information from their map. Would help with the virtual sightseeing motif.
This looks insane !
Wonder if they have any plans on their roadmap to add VR support in the future.

You sure it isnt? Cant tell haha
Looks like a photo....
That's amazing, I can't wait to come in over my house and then over the M27. Never flown from southampton before, flights are always too expensive. Now's my chance!
