flying_fish Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I believe that MSFS 2020 is a subject that needs a (new) thread. 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. In other words: Ooops... sorry guys, we figured most customers would be happy to fly during summertime only Jim Joystick is back I guess. No idea if anyone has posted this video i cant see it anywhere, its the latest video of MS fsim 2020...Showing SNOW!..not just a load a season map up but one that changes as you fly! I must admit this new sim is looking better each and every upload.. Latest development update Jan 16th here... if you are interested that is.

The human eye is very good at picking up repeating patterns, although I can't actually see what is repeating so it's likely just our minds playing tricks on us :-) Yes, it's these lines I was referring to and you are probably right that our minds are playing tricks on us. But the repetitive water patterns are definitely there, similar to X-Plane. You can see them in this video at 4:20.

flying_fish Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 Confused - it was Captain Lars topic, not mine! Whatever, I agree with Nick - perhaps we just need a ‘heads up’ here.

Nick Cooper Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Hello, perhaps I did not make myself clear enough. The reason for starting this new topic was to abridge the speculation. It is with some disappointment that I now see it being copied and pasted from other forums. The motto is, if you have nothing to say, please say nothing. I have removed the posts in question.

bean_sprout Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 What is the official Orbx stance on MSFS 2020 development or is it too early to tell?

I think that's just the lighting. It's casting in a way that makes them look flat and hard on one side. If the time was different I think the effect would be much different.

wain71 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 as good as this looks, for some reason I am not excited by this yet, not sure why.....it does look good though, maybe it's because my systems is only 9600k / 1070 and not sure that would run that well....

John Heaton Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 For interest sake I hope I don't get in trouble again for this - because I am sure it is not speculation but - I have just seen an Australian advert for the DVD - X Box version of MS2020. It is by a well known Australian Gaming supplier of Flight Sim Hardware etc - if not the biggest in OZ! - certainly the most expensive It lists the price as $A 88.00 - discounted from - $A 99.99 - for a pre order - dely. TBA in 2020 and displays the MS2020 video from the X Box 2019 exhibition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Link: https://www.gamesmen.com.au/microsoft-flight-simulator It reveals that there is to be a new flight simulator, that it is to be named Microsoft Flight Simulator and available in Australia for X Box at the advertised price.

Something like quite a few of us recently offered to pay in advance to show good will for Orbx to have a good look at producing LC Asia - or part thereof - as shown in a separate section of this forum However - that aside - one can always add one's name to the wish list - as I have - as a user of X Box - and on the same wish list for X Box Series due November Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bean_sprout Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 We already know that MSFS 2020 will revamp flight simulation with weather / flight model and scenery profiles using global data via the MS data farm (AZURE) that has been instituted in the past 10 years. What is the official Orbx response to this upcoming framework? What can we as users expect to see as value addons from Orbx? I and many others have greatly appreciated Orbx efforts to enhance FSX shortcomings with scenery but from what I can we expect to see with MSFS 2020? It's a whole new ball game IMO. Finally, will Orbx support the XBox framework? I will definitely be a new XBox Series X customer in 2020. Regards bs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The statement first --- you will not be alone in this from the probable point of view - of a lot of current PC simmers - I can't speak for the other X box users or simmers - but my new X Box Series X - is on the wish list of a few suppliers. Regarding the 2 questions - to add to Nick's statement of suitable announcements - might I suggest that somehow - you get hold of a copy of the magazine P.C. Pilot - issue 127 - (a UK publication) - in which - nearly all Orbx senior management - took part in a Q+A session following the Orbx board meeting in February - where the future plans were discussed - and commented on in the article. Having read the article a few times - I can probably summarise the answers to your questions as Orbx are looking forward to the advent of MS "2020" which presents a challenge - and opportunity - for companies like them. They didn't actually say that they were involved - for obvious reasons - but outlined plans for large expansion - especially in their UK studio!! . There are many other statements made by all the senior execs - that indicate that Oryx is going to continue to expand a service for 2 of the current Sims - and we will have an Orbx for a long time to come. !! I do recommend that all of you out there - who constantly worry over the same questions - get hold of the article - because obviously - although I would love to add a screen shot of the article to this - certain laws forbid it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Lars Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 There are two possibilities: either MSFS 2020 is as good as the YT commenters and everyone seem to believe and no one's ever going to need a scenery addon product anymore. The second possibility is that the new sim's landscape is surprisingly dull and does need scenery revampments. In this case we could have all sticked with P3D.

The second possibility is that the new sim's landscape is surprisingly dull and does need scenery revampments. In this case we could have all sticked with P3D. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Lars - I doubt that there are any out there that might disagree with your 2 statements - because P3D and X plane are not going away at least I hope so.- and because MS 2020 will not be all that we actually get from the 2 current sims. Although e.g. -- ! - I will be the first to get it for my brand new X Box Series X - out in November - because it is being made for this console as well However - as an 4K - X Box One X user at present - I cannot - technically - see how we will be able to add a scenery product - or an aircraft to the X Box - where the best ones seem to be just the one decently powered single prop -1 bizjet - and 2 boring tubes - which will restrict my enjoyment of the new sim. . So - in my opinion - I will not be able to use - all the Aircraft I have in my hangar - or the huge investment in Orbx scenery - not to mention all my PC games from Steam. Again - however -- MS have distinctly stated on many occasions that on the PC version - 3rd party elements will be accommodated I leave it to someone more knowledge than I - as to how - based on the experiences in the past of tweaks and frustrations - of addons just how this might be achieved. Furthermore - I can't see why I should spend lots of dosh to upgrade my mid range PC for 2020 - when I can get all the mooted benefits of the new sim - in a console that will cost me a great deal less - than a GTX 2080 TI - not to mention an I 9 cpu - and get all the sim in 4K /8K I haven't yet installed P3D V5 - because I have it running well - my attitude is - if it doesn't break - don't fix it! - but that aside - as a resolution fanatic who just loves 4K HDR 10 - where P3D4 - or XP - doesn't perform well - I am interested in the DX 12 side to version P3D V5 - since many positive comments are made in the vision aspect - ( I just wish - people would state what resolution their monitor is at when they show screen shots) Now that H2 is out - I will be installing it on a separate disc using my better Aircraft - and using the retained V4 - for my aircraft that won't work in V5 I will drop FSX Steam which is useless in 4K - because my most of my older aircraft versions - also work in V4. That said - I will still be using MY PC for "legacy" flight simming and PC Games pass - which will include a simplified 2020 - and will be using my new X Box - for all the bells and whistles - of MS 2020 - or whatever it is called - for my monthly games pass - as I do at the moment If I have to pay $A 89 for a separate version --- and a new 2020 joy stick/yoke --- so be it!!

aero-3fsx Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 I believe Orbx knows a lot which it is not yet allowed to share with us Never forget that the management at Orbx are competent people and will adapt to whatever is coming We will have to wait a few more months till the new sim is released before we can see the reality of how our hobby market is going to go In any case, although the market is being disrupted, LM & X-Plane will adapt & improve as necessary in order to thrive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
