New Microsoft Flight Simulator

Microsoft has officially announced a new Flight Simulator that they are building called Microsoft Flight.

Speculation has been growing since ACES Studios was closed last year. Developers and flight simmers have been scrambling to make sense of why Microsoft would discontinue such a successful and longstanding game.

So, what’s the catch?

Hopefully the catch is something big and beautiful!

Here is what I’d like to see in the new Simulator. Because details are few right now, these are only speculative:

Get rid of all the old code-

Start new for today’s technology

Speaking of Technology-

I want it to run well on Multiple Cores and Multiple GPUs

Keep the DieHards in Mind-

I would like to see the simulator be really complex as we’ve seen

Fly Like the Real Thing-

Flight Simulator is so much different than real flight… I want better flight characteristics!

“Reinvent the Yoke”-

Don’t waste my time, Microsoft… Let’s see something really special here. Take some risks and make this awesome.

(Note the video is NOT real footage. It’s either CG (my guess) or in game footage!)

What would you like to see in the new simulator?

It’s not just Microsoft. The whole world (in general) seems to be in a period of non creativity stupid phase now I would LOVE to know what are people’s advices when life is in a non creative stage where things have gone stale?

What do you do to pass the time instead of worrying and whining about the state of the world?

Now I am sure there are some people trying hard to be creative but in times like these those people are fighting the current and not getting very far and more often then not give up eventually.

What I meant to ask is what are good healthy suggestions to make it thru when life is in a phase where creativity is going nowhere in a large scale term?

Right now music has died pretty much and so has the entertainment industry as a whole where everything is pretty much the same which makes me feel vert negative.

Nice fail. An arcade game? MS are you serious??? I’m not a code writer, so I have no idea what goes into game production, but how can you take such a great simulator, and gut it completely. Where’s the ATC, where is the flight planner, the flight maps, Jeppesen? Frick!

Make sure it works with all the old add-ons and flight sim hardware, yoke, pedles, radio stack, auto pilot panel ect: ect: ect:

No more grey (dead) switches… All switches, Knobs and gage functions that are realistic and work in the overhead panel, as well as the main panel.

I have just downloaded it. It is very disapointing. it is a childish game. I am now searching for an alternateive sim. X-Plane is in mind.
