Foarte interesant, dar sunt curios daca vom avea iar toata planeta la dispozitie si vor fi misiuni random generated, sau doar misiuni in locatii limitate.

Ei saracii implementeaza acum misiuni pentru partea de Agricultural Aviation dar surpriza mare daca vor folosi harti generate dinamic real time va fi cand te vei duce cu avionul pentru rasaduri la Constanta unde sunt acum terenuri agricole si la lansarea jocului vei gasi la sol blocuri 'cu loc de joaca si spatii generoase', din 5 in 5m unul de celalalt

MSFS presentation at FlightSimExpo, highlighting new features w.r.t. key focus aspects and growth of the game.
Asobo has grown quite a lot
Allowing players to choose a pilot lifestyle, with a very grounded simulation enviroment; "We're not a game, so we're not making gamey-type missions at all, we're doing this accurate aviation activities. Working with many organizations that do Fire-fighting, that do search and rescue""
Creating a thinner client;
Only download what is needed/cached on the hdd.
Reduced footpring on HDD & internet usage
Reduced installation & loading times
This helps keep the min spec low
Backwards compatible, community folder still there
New physics & Aerodynamics Engine
Give aircraft creaters EXTREMEEEE control
Massive performance improvements: the engine has been rewritten for performance improvements, Multithreading, thus on a different core away from the main (frame). (So it looks like they removed the deadlocking bottlenecks in the engine and thus can decouple and parallelize it over multiple threads, big! The examples they show are big, the simulation fidelity just keeps going to a higher ceiling ).
Rigid & Soft bodies (e.g. some examples shown w.r.t. Balloon physics).
Tissues & ropes
Easy authoring & backwards compatible
New & improved systems
Electrical, pneumatic, fuel, hydraulic systems
Failure and Wear & tear system
Payload & passenger system
Deeper & wider avionics packages
Cockpit tablet by default
Digital Twin (You're going to hear this term in the gaming industry a lot more in the coming years )
Example shown for low altitude training; Showing more accurate surfaces detected through ML. Adding more details such as 3D trees, 3D rocks with proper surface details/detail map and tessellation
Our planet - static world: Improved ground details, 3D tesselated ground materials, enhance tree diversity, improved cliffs
Our planet - dyanmic world: Full seasons, Aurora borealis, tornados, storms
Our planet - living world: animal herds & migrations, worldwide ship traffic, accurate live air traffic, improved vehicle traffic

Foarte mult imunatatiri, Asobo face o treaba excelenta. IP chiar daca e de nisa e ceva ce nu o sa vezi prea curand pe PS5.

Absolut impresionant ce au reusit sa faca in acesti 4 ani de la jocul anterior:

Da, dar mare grija la bandwith: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 sucks up to 180 Mb/s of internet bandwidth while in flight — peak rate equivalent to 81GB of data per hour.
