has hardware even evolved far enough so someone can max-out SFX in a way that's practical and doesn't require a NASA mainframe-like setup
![]() i was kinda happy in a way that FSX would be the last... perhaps finally, over the course of the next decade we can actually get our hardware around it ![]() |

I run FSX on maximum settings at a resolution of 2560x1600 with no problem.

#1 See to your CPU Speed and Cooling #2 Ensure your Video Card has atleast 1 gig of ram of GDDR3 or GDDR5 if running at HD resolutions or greater #3 Make sure FSX is fully updated. And that is about it. You don't need a decade. Instead ACES got shown the door while the next train sim was in dev and Microsoft expects us to be happy to play a ported Xbox game as an FSX replacement.. Sigh.... |

"Ported Xbox game?" How do you figure? What XBox game do you think this was ported from? Do you know something we don't? It's rather too early to proclaim it a failure already, especially since we don't know anything at all about the title other than that it involves airplanes. |

I'm going to stay optimistic about this. It's too early to tell one way or the other. After the agony of ACES being fired, this is a small ray of hope.

You company put out a VERY good OS and It was one of the best 100USD I have ever spent. But getting rid of the ACES team... And expecting us to have hope that this Flight is anything more than "The magic of flight" That is much. |

Personally I'm wondering how long it took to render all the frames for that video, but this should be interesting. I wish they could've been a bit more specific about it...

So, what, there's going to be a MS flight game on Facebook? "n122vu needs landing gears in Microsoft Flight! Click here to visit his airstrip and help him out!" |

first of all, sorry if theres already a thread for this, but searching for "Microsoft flight" is basically the same as searching "Microsoft flight simulator", and there is now (and as of almost a year ago) a big difference between the two. if there is another thread, could someone please delete this thread so i dont look like a clot
next, i want to make it clear that ive only just found out about this, and i dont work for microsoft ![]() the timing of my findings is actually quite clever, only yesterday, i discovered FSX had "Realism" settings, and i understood why my flight physics had been so... 1970's (it seems the default is almost 100% easy settings). however, i still found it impossible to spin, and the autorudder is a necessity due to my ageing joystick. i thought to myself, "we really need a new flight simulator, one that has the simulation quality of X-Plane, and the ease of access, and easily understandable program navigation and controls like FSX", and it seems easier to work from FSX to X-Plane, rather than vice versa but im craving to know more about it, the official site is so secretive, im doubting if half the dev team even knows what everyone else is doing. does anyone know of a good source of information on this project? or have they heard credible rumours themselves? it might be worth sending a 2000 word e-mail describing what they're being expected to deliver here, and in fact, i will do once i post this, ive recently been thinking a bit about the perfect flight simulator. so, assuming that this isnt a second thread for the topic, lets pool together some rumours (hopefully credible ones) and work out what MS is toiling away with in their virtual basement |
