John Heaton Posted August 25, 2022 Author Share Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) The German city upgrades is in the marketplace - but the Junkers F13 is $A 22.50 (inc tax) I don't think I will bother Edited August 25, 2022 by John Heaton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulb Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 I think the Anniversary release targeted for November includes a number (12?) of free new aircraft - Spruce Goose, DC3 and more. Also four new airports including Meigs! There is a video just showing the 40th Anniversary preview. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't figure out why we have never had a really good, complex level Beaver at the A2A or Milviz 310 level. I would even settle for a Beaver that was developed to the Just Flight MSFS Arrows' level. Oh, one can wish and hope I am also interested to see how the iniBuilds 310 and the Spruce Goose come out. And lastly, I am super excited for Meigs. As it is for many, that airport holds such a special place for me as regards flight simming. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are using CGI then I think it’s wrong to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stiletto2 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Well, everything MSFS produces on screen is computer generated imagery of some form since the sim is not playing a film or a video. The CGI term is really meant to separate film and video images from computer generated imagery. If it helps, Jack, other than the audio track and a few text overlays, everything I saw in the trailer looked like real imagery from MSFS based on my 2 years of experience flying using MSFS. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, just like stiletto said, Flighsims produce CGI, meaning it is not real world. The way John put it, was a bit misleading.

Not sure what this means - just to clarify - was the video "real" film - or was it a video of subjects - aircraft and scenery - generated with use of GGI - as I suggested to Jack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
