boleyd Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 My money is on Dovetail Games ( TS2014) Good choice! Paul Jackson's debacle. Will the new FSX be a game or simulator. No blood no customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoLonger Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 The rumors say nothing about FSX being sold afaik but only the MS FS license. And since the company who bought it apparently isn't a company that's being active in the current FS scene, it could well be that some company who has some arcade flying game lying on the shelf, will use that license to release that game as 'the new official Flight Simulator'. Your guess is as good as mine. I don't expect a company to actually improve FSX: little use in that with LM working on P3D. And even if they plan on doing that, don't expect anything soon (taking into account how much time it took for LM to get P3D where it is now.) BTW The latest rumor is that this is all about MS Flight and not FSX. Anyway, I don't expect this news to be of any benefit to us simmers at all...

bonchie Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Simflight.com saying it was FLIGHT that was sold. Tom (avsim) says his best guess is the Train Simulator guys (Dovetail) bought it. If these two things are true, going by how they've handled and developed TS2014, then they will simply re-release FLIGHT and start pumping out overpriced DLCs, along with no third party support allowed. Development of a totally new simulator, as expansive as FSX/P3D, would likely not happen. I really, really hope it's not true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Culley44 Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 the people that made trains sim 2014 did a great job bringing it to life, picture that in a plane and in the air with orbx, i agree p3d is a great platform, but people that work specifically on games like ts 2014 could bring the community something special, mainly eye candy, in any case whatever is done with it, the whole project would have to be built from the ground up in order to perform better than p3d, and there is no way anyone could out do orbx as far as scenery unless orbx started producing for the new flight sim, in the long run it's fun for us and a business for developers like orbx, it could be a big money maker as well,as alot of you have said time will tell.

Handie Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 simFlight :More news about Microsoft flight simulatorBY jdiogo, Tuesday, 10 June 2014 @ 11:04We have now heard directly from reliable sources, who have requested to remain undisclosed, that the ‘franchise’ sold recently by Microsoft is not that of FSX, but rather that of the newer “MSFlight“. We also learned that an official annoucement is to be expected soon, from the purchaser of the license.This entity, which we are not yet at freedom to divulge, is no stranger to the simulation market. We will, of course, keep you updated as soon as more information becomes available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nirgal76 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 MSFlight ? if it remains close and limited as the first one, we can forget... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gandy Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 MSFlight ? if it remains close and limited as the first one, we can forget... So true.. but it was becoming popular just more as a game to play than a sim that brings long term enjoyment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZK-OKQ Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I am 100% convinced it is DTG, as when DTG re branded a few months ago, it was for a reason, and that was to distant themselves as a sole Train Sim developer, Furthermore, negotiations with MS were either in full swing or close to sign off at about the time the re branding took place. If it is not Dovetail Games, you can all call me Mary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Howarth Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 It makes sense to me. As a long term ICT industry guy, I can see a strategy involving the retention of legacy platform data structures to retain comparability and core engine consistently for vector, landclass, mesh, textures and other assets. Then a total overhaul of the render engine, sound engine, traffic and object engine, physics engine and so forth. Essentially bring it into the modern era but retain the legacy, as well as the marketing badge. Its not impossible and certainly achievable to garner investors, especially for a big gaming player, on a $USD200 million + AAA title. Throwing 200 million at it, and being able to retain the marketing badge as well as not shift the platform for content developers and so forth, would bring back FS into store shelves and online estores and so forth. It would kill P3D by shear weight of the development team and the ability to cut more code. Whos to say if its true or not but its interesting nonetheless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its pirates that prevent the industry from being what it should be and having the mass to drive better entertainment through sales. Your only destroying your own desires in the end because anyone from a security background knows without physical isolation every system eventually is vulnerable.

norfolk mike Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Commonly used here in the UK too. In fact "what's the crack?" is an almost obligatory greeting on many of the building sites I've worked on, second only to "Alright wan***?". Indeed the latter often precedes the former Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
