Nice Find!

[Jakemaster]

IT LOOKS LIKE A FRIGGIN ARCADE GAME IN THE FIRST VIDEO!

At least its sim like in the second one

It seems like theyve divided the sim: one 'mode' is more arcadey, using external views, guided flights, and goals.  But it still seems like a good sim, especially in the glider video.  So i think we will be able to sim like we always do, but at the same time others can play the game

So the "MS man" said on the shelf to buy by September or October of this year??

Trees looked good in the first vidoe

Looks nice,  still dont like the arcade game part of it, but what can we do.

The trees seemed a little like they were set up in a square, maby that will be worked out  ;D

I really can't see why anybody would want to fly the aircrafts from a stationary tailcamera view?

[Cobra]

I dont get why everyone thinks its the only view which can be used?? Am i missing something?

[Katahu]

Do we have to go through this crab again? First we had this FS9-with-addons-is-better-than-FSX talk, then the is-FSX-going-to-be-only-for-Vista-and-DX10 discussion, then the X360-controller talk, now this?

As far as I can remember back when FS9 first came out, people wanted to have better functionality with the camera views while others wanted missions that gave them a sense of purpose. And don't forget, there is always an easy setting and hard setting. For all we know, the video was probably taken in an easy setting.

Kat, face it, people are never happy.

As far as I am concerned, these will be optional settings and seperate functions of the simulator. I'll be trying them out as they look like a bit of fun in what is an otherwise at times monotonous sim. And hey, if it ups the sales and means MS can continue making these sims in the future, I am all for it.

You have no idea how true that it. Thanks for reminding me.

A thought here after watching the various videos............

IF........... and the is a big "if".............. by going more "game-y" with this version of the simulator, it results in a significant increase in sales.......... what do you think will happen to the focus of the development time that will be spent on the next version AFTER  fsX?  

I have no idea what FSX really is yet.... but from the stuff they are "leaking" about the upcoming product ........... they obviously spent a lot of effort on stuff that one might classify as "entertainment" or "game" or "casual user interest features".  

One HOPES that they also have put in an equal amount of effort into the stuff that is "simulation" or "reality" based for the more serious simulation enthusiast.

Time will tell.


best,

Actually, I agree with you there. However, your daily injections are coming up. *Katahu slaps on his latex gloves*

[flymo]

if it is going to be more entertainment based than simulation. im sure their will be addons for thouse of us who like it more realistic than ohhhhhhh that was so much fun.
(not meaning to start an arguemnt)
but thats just the way i see i, because afterall MS are just a corporation trying to make mega bucks. so if it sells they are not gonna rly care what 1 community thinks. and a small part of that community at that

like i said before i dnt want to start a huge flameing war over this, its just the way i see it.
