antonvs Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 "Now that 2016 is upon us we will be talking a lot more about DFS. DFS is a brand new flight simulator and although the game engine is based on the MS flight simulation technology it has been rebuilt from the ground up. We will have lots more information and screenshots coming very soon! - Martin" Small but very interesting. Cheers Anton. (via Tapatalk) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilstorm Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Yes it is. So thankful MS "got off the can" after they got rid of ACEs as we now have two improved platforms out it where it was looking very dark there for the future of simming for awhile. Especially after that MSFlight joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Hamilton Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I think the MS Flight "joke" was caused by user's unreal expectations. Microsoft touted it as a game, they never said it was a simulator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilstorm Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 No Bruce the joke was taking a solid platform and turning it into a game while ending the solid platform. DTG and LM are both showing that there was no reason to give up on FS while MSF was very short lived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominique Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 What is interesting is that DTG took the same business model than Flight, a core plateform sold at a very low cost for the user to make money with DLC, but with a decent flightsim. If you want a really good laugh, look how Joshua Howard who killed the MSFS franchise to launch Flight on that idea , presents himself https://www.crunchbase.com/person/joshua-howard#/entity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Hamilton Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Only thing I find funny is that a man who looks so young has held so many jobs... Apparently nothing panned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobnobs Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I can see another compatibility nightmare for Orbx looming... I don't envy the team if they have yet another platform to support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awreaper Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 These guys also seem to be working on a new flight sim. http://nexgenflightsim.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Looking at their forums, and comments it seems that there is a lot talk and much less concrete work by this group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly my thoughts. It looks really nice, at least the little bit that they have out there, but I don't see any real concrete work that makes me think it has taken that step from a demo of an engine to an actual flight simulator. I am going to keep an eye on it but I suspect it might just fade away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
