As for the 64 bit version - speculation says they probably will - stand by for it to be a Flight Simulator Series X - SD version probably based on P3D(5) academic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLANKOTA Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Some might not believe it, but yes, I am quite excited by the new sim, too. Here is a video I found. Quite a cold shower: at 12:38 you can hear that there'll be no VR and no seasons - at least not on release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris.D Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I see there is a good shot of Brisbane City in the video, https://youtu.be/GZmssr-uh18 , at the 2min 17 sec mark. Unmistakable, Kangaroo Point, Garden Point and Milton Reach on the Brisbane River and the aerial shot taken over Bulimba Reach, looking towards New Farm Park. Oh, and the 'Gabba Cricket Ground to the left ! Best shots I have ever seen of Brisbane from a flight simulator. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chacal83 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Patience is a virtue.. We ll have to wait a bit longer ti be sure if it really a blockbuster... I think its the future but the question is when ? At his time even fsx was too much for most of us and people kept 2004 for long time. For my part i will have to be sure that my home cockpit works... and im sure it wont work day one. And still so much to fly on p3d, so much to discover... No need to hurry..

John Heaton Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 For Nearly 50 years - Real and simulation - I have been flying prop Singles and Twins - Normal aspiration and in the last 12 months a number of Coranado's Turbo Props - I have never had an interest in the so called Heavies I have no knowledge - yet? - of Flying - beyond VFR - and cheating at Instrument flying in VFR Quite a few times I have considered what it would be like to fly (simulate) a small Biz Jet. I actually sat in the first Citation Biz Jet in Australia - 1974? - at Moorabbin. It really didn't seem all that different to my Seneca - a bit wider that's all Around 2 weeks ago - Carenado had one of these stay at home sales - and 2 of the a/c s on offer were a Citation 525 PJ2 twin - and a Dasault Falcon 50X - 3 engine - so for 30 something Bucks - I got both and since then have been scouring the internet on how to Simulate flying the Hi- Lo flight routes - ( without the ATC - at the moment) What's this got to do with MS 2020??? - Well anyone who has been watching the discovery series and seen the Aircraft that MS have used and will be "Including???" in the sim - will have notice the PJ 4 Citation in the videos - and that increased my salivation. There has been no mention other that PDMG who will be supplying the actual Sim A/Cs from the listed manufacturers - but in this case there is a sim of the PJ4 on sale now - but it is definitely not the one in the video. So for the benefit of those who will grab at this in the 2020 - I turned up this "WoW' brochure of the Real thing https://cessna.txtav.com/-/media/cessna/files/citation/cj4/cj4_brochure.ashx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueEarth orthos on top with accurately placed & sized objects of all types + heaps of hand modelled POIs - right now! just have to work out how to afford the $upgrade to P3Dv5 asap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigeaglefire Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 each major flight sim, has its own advantages & quirks... & from what have seen published, MFS, will definitely be an immediate $purchase, its what we actually use that counts - & everyone is free to exercise their choice, no need for battle.
