MS Flight Simulator 4K gameplay trailer
If they fulfill their promise to get this working with VR, it'll be my excuse to get a VR rig.

I've got a friend that will be all over this.
Re: MS Flight Simulator 4K gameplay trailer
Yeah, I am not a super realistic simulator fan, but if this supports VR, it would be a "showpiece" software to have.
Re: MS Flight Simulator 4K gameplay trailer
Too bad they never did anything with train simulator. It was MEH at best.
Re: MS Flight Simulator 4K gameplay trailer
I have always loved and bought every MS Flight SIm version and others that were better but unfortunately died under the weight of MS marketing.
I'm curious to see where this goes. It might convince me to get VR but I have NO idea which is better.
Train Sim had lots of potential but it feels like they dumbed it down too much too.

Re: MS Flight Simulator 4K gameplay trailer
Yeah it was not a good simulation. There were people who made better config files for units to make them work more realistically. The steam side was a joke. Only way I know this is that I can run an actual steam locomotive so they were way off on it. You could get the locomotive in a state where it was impossible to build steam no matter how much fire and water you had.
On the diesel side the independent brake was too strong. You also had some sort of god like air compressor that never fell behind no matter how many cars you had to charge. You could not bleed off cars and "kick" them. Would be cool if somebody made a first personish train simulator that allowed a conductor to be outside the train to do switches and couplers and stuff. Make it multiplayer so you could have crews.

Re: MS Flight Simulator 4K gameplay trailer
Microsoft has confirmed VR support by the end of the year!
It's just about to be released, and people are starting to make preview videos. Here's one showing off the visuals:

Re: MS Flight Simulator 4K gameplay trailer
Wow that looks awesome.
Re: MS Flight Simulator 4K gameplay trailer
VR support will be on the new HP headset (coming "soon") exclusively for the first few months, coming later to the rest. That said, previews of the headset show it may be the best WIndows MR headset to date, and if you dont wanna blow $1000 on a Index, the way to go.

Re: MS Flight Simulator 4K gameplay trailer
I need to hunt down some low altitude video. I want to see if all that gorgeous terrain is just flat imaging, or are smaller features rendered in 3D when you get close to the ground, like buildings?

Re: MS Flight Simulator 4K gameplay trailer
It's 3D. it is interpolated for most locations with photogrametry, except for the airports included in each version that are hand crafted.
You can see how some of the buildings are a bit blocky and change in this video:

Its not too horrid looking. Looks really good for a public SIM.

This guy fucks up his first landing coming on a beach but you can see the houses as he is about to land and they look decent.

Re: MS Flight Simulator 4K gameplay trailer
They tried to do that with the last version, but due to lack of processing power (I'm guessing) it really didn't look very good.It's 3D. it is interpolated for most locations with photogrametry, except for the airports included in each version that are hand crafted.
Whatever they're doing in the new version is looking great. I was surprised that there's even traffic! I'm guessing only in city centers.

It's a combo of data streaming and processing on the MS Azure cloud.
