OFFICIAL Update! - Microsoft Flight Simulator 

Why would you be excited for Flight Simulator 10? They're making a new Microsoft Flight Simulator.

@@normand5847 He said FS11. :)

@@normand5847 FSXI, yes he did say 11😁😎

@@billymkirkwood4956 I don't think it will be called FSXI, they just called it Flight Simulator so I have a feeling it will be an ongoing thing continuously updated, like Windows 10.

@@_S.H_ oh my god!!! That was my actual point... the original was called Microsoft Flight Simulator.. they have done a full circle from 1980's original version... button theory it's still MFS XII. That's what the guy was saying also

I suspect it will be programmed to take full advantage of modern hardware.

@@Doofer911They better xD X plane does a decent job but for me is only uses about 30% max of each of my 6 cores. If optimized to about 75% it could be a game changer

@spaceweed10 Stop winding people up

Seems to be not a problem- I have an i9-7920X (12 core, 24 thread) and I use P3dv4, it takes advantage of every single thread and utilises around 50-90% CPU

@@JamieKugelmann I hear you. I have P3SV4 with ORBX etc too and it does better than fsx. I have a i5 9600K and it runs very cool but with no hyperthreading I think this may be one of my problems. All flight sims are too processor dependant.

@spaceweed10 Third party aircraft that already exist. I don't have several hundred dollars to buy new aircraft, airports, scenery, weather programs etc. Do you?

@@edkammerman2533 if it's a whole new engine then backwards compatibility is almost a guaranteed No! We will be starting from scratch again!

It will be different enough to require new purchases as the fidelity will definitely have advanced (FSX released over ten years ago), though companies like Aerosoft and PMDG may offer upgrade deals if you already own their products for FSX/P3D/XPlane.

@@edkammerman2533 Sometimes sacrifice is required to move things forward. The good news is all the stuff you have at the moment won't suddenly stop working.

I have a feeling that this new simulator will not be compatible with existing products, certainly not right away. It will be interesting to see if any of the existing products could be converted or ported into this new sim.

Going to be a very interesting exercise in optimisation for Microsoft!

I'm hopeful that this will be more like FSX and less like MS Flight. We'll have to wait and see but this recent announcement seems to suggest that Microsoft want to make a good product.

I guess we'll find out in future updates what the hardware requirements are likely to be. All we really know is that it will be 4K compatible by the looks of the trailer.

I don’t think this is gonna work with a Gamepad, I think you will be required to buy an Xbox keyboard and mouse and possibly the console flight stick that this is compatible with

@@NatEff3ct Certainly in order to carry out most onboard functions. I think Microsoft will give users the option of automating most onboard aircraft features (specifically for users who have no knowledge of aircraft systems). Things like flaps and gear would deploy based on speed and lights would automate based on conditions. This would make the software more accessible to the average person which I personally think will be their aim with this version. We'll have to wait and see I guess, very exciting though!

Definitely, from what I can tell, X-Plane following seems to have grown a lot with the release of XP11. Really made the sim much more user friendly and accessible to simmers compared to the older versions which were more for the hardcore simmer.

I would guess that Microsoft are looking to raise the baseline quality of a simulator platform with the release of MSFS.

Cheers, yeah things are looking promising!

U have a 2 petabyte hard drive?

I don't know I'm afraid. We'll have to wait and see what Microsoft say.

Not only this, streaming the data needed to draw 4K quality scenery from the cloud would require a pretty decent amount of bandwidth, which would shrink the pool of customers that could properly enjoy the product as intended. Lots of people in rural areas still have slow broadband services.

Xbox is hardly a PC. You can't modify the software on a Xbox platform like you can with PC.

Kreemerz it’s. pc it uses the exact same type of hardware yes u can’t upgrade but that is not what makes a pc a pc it’s still a pc mate and runs windows 10 as of current builds. Just easier for them to build games for specific hardware

spaceweed10 Am not an idiot considering ur name weed i would hate to think what u smoke

I don't know I'm afraid, it's a long way for me to travel

Looks new to me.

completely new product

Completely new.

I believe it's a new product.

Are you for real?

Same here+ aerosoft A320, PMDG and GSX:(

Haha cheers! Slowly but surely getting there!

I thought it was the opposite, Dovetail couldn't really improve FSX, only make it more efficient and fix bugs - but from a user perspective it's the same product albeit a bit more stable. Sorry to here about active sky. However I'm sure you could buy the free standing new version and look online how to integrate it with the steam version of FSX.

@@dtrjones Nice try, but the steam edition of Active sky will only work with the steam Edition of FSX SE. They make it very clear it would not work with the "boxed set" Yes, the FSX SE was more stable and bug free than the boxed version

It isn't going to be FSX.

Potentially. My gut instinct is telling me that Microsoft will want to hold onto this new sim and it will be tied in with Xbox (as a gaming service) and/or the Microsoft Store. I don't think it will be available on Steam or any other online games store during the initial release.

@@Doofer911 I've no doubt you're right on this one. The real kick in the teeth though is I found out today that if I had brought the standard Active Sky through an outlet other than steam, that would work in all platforms including steam, but the steam version I brought will only work with SFX SE

Interesting perspective, P3D is built as a training platform and for use by people that know what they're doing. The fact that this will be released on Xbox as well practically guarantees this will be nothing like P3D. This will be much more accessible, simple UI, lots of built in assistance to minimise the challenge of flying (which can be turned off in the settings if you're an experienced pilot). Think Microsoft Flight, the last product they made which sadly failed but was usable with a gamepad and accessible to people who have never flown a digital aircraft before. You're 100% right about subscription based access, it makes sense for them as they can rollout new regions and new airports and new cities and new aircraft to make people feel like they're getting value for money. Just my opinion and mean no disrespect. Peace

@@Philxtreme See, philxtreme, I made a bold statement about "PD3" in making my claim. I don't know anything about the SIM; now I do. My system requirements probit its installation; primarily: CPU, GPU and a bit slow DDR3 RAM. X-Plane trial wouldn't even start up on the AMD 4 Core 2 thread FM+3 4100 3.6 GHz. GPU DDR3 500 MHz. DDR3 P. S. Trump: 11:00 EDT Sunday - Threatens Iran with the 'Nuclear Option' as Passenger airline companies forbid and divert traffic over Iranian airspace. India, China, and Russia responded by sending in the warships.

@@Philxtreme I'm seriously considering getting the XBox, don't know a thing about it though to replace the aging Desktop. The build I have in mind cost about $600 without the GPU. Just so FSX - will run at 30fps without all the choppiness when City Addons are installed. Chicago at NIGHT will crash FSX when I get about 6 miles from downtown Chicago. But the addon was a steal at $15.00 USD

@@WayneHermanproject I had the same trouble with FSX, the issue it has that means even 12 years after release is that it still won't run smoothly on PC's that are now much more powerful than they were back then. This is because it was only designed to use one CPU core and can't even use more than 4GB of RAM. As a result, if you run a weather add-on, an aircraft add-on and a scenery add-on like Chicago all at once the software can hardly take it even on a $2000 PC. Hopefully the new flight sim will be able to use up to 12 or more CPU cores and at least 32GB of RAM supported so we can load up plenty of scenery and weather and still enjoy a playable frame rate. As for the Xbox, I'd suggest waiting a year, as it's possible the new flight simulator will release on the NEXT Xbox, not the Xbox one that is currently available, possibly as a launch title.

@@Philxtreme That's why, philxtreme, the "Out of Memory" crap in some detailed areas - WOAH. Thanks' for the heads up. You just saved me probably, a thousand bucks; I'll by an 8 core AMD to replace my 4 core FM3+ now on eBay for about $40 USD and falling on Amazon.

yep

I heard it was only confirmed for XboxOne

@@DysmasTheGoodThief You heard wrong. It is designed for PC and will be optimized for XBOX. fsi.microsoftstudios.com/

@@kosys5338 r/woosh

Time is on your side my friend.

@Darkray Hahahahah. No....

Microsoft is working on projects with Sony now in a recent deal between the two to make software for games cross platform so you may just be in luck

@OfficialPanda they are also working together to make cross platform gaming possible. That's straight from Microsoft

@OfficialPanda yes they are working on it. Damn son pay attention

Nah.... I'm going to keep people informed during the development process.

@Maher Justice Then why dont you fly yourself?

@Maher Justice The man needs some healthy criticism just like 'FlyBoy…" over there. Nether can see what's right in their face; and their screwing thins up for everyone with their blindness to what's right their in front of them. And it's pissing me off; and so are you.

1. What's REX got to do with Microsoft Flight Simulator? I haven't mentioned it in any of my videos on this subject. 2. I did offer viewers the chance to go and read the article themselves early in the video. For those that didn't want to do that, I summarised the content of Microsoft's announcement during this video. If you chose to watch, you did so with your own volition. And if you didn't like the previous one, you knew what to expect with this one.

@@Doofer911 My purpose on RU-vid is to criticize and "Play The Devils Advocate' I will never publicly agree on anything, but, on a personal level, I could fully agree. No harm meant. REX's 2019 release of 'Inviormenta Force 3D' is only available for P3D. Nothing for FSX or the Steam Edition. SEE??? What is gained if everyone agrees with something or criticism isn't provided? P.S. Start listening to your gut feeling, it's usually the right one. Your first impression is usually the correct one: MS Flight Simulator 2019 Thank you, Wayne Herman

Ah ok, I wasn't aware of that REX product. I believe that developers are moving away from FSX (+ Steam Edition) and only developing for P3D nowadays.
