Microsoft's Flight Simulator is every bit as spectacular as we hoped it would be. Footage released to date has highlighted its almost photo-realistic approach to rendering - and yes, the game fully delivers there - but what's more difficult to illustrate is the unprecedented detail level from the macro to the micro level, on a literally global scale.
Microsoft just shared new details about what's coming for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, and even a few tidbits about MSFS 2020.
Propair Flight released a new airport for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and MSFS 2020, and it's Brussels South Charleroi Airport in Belgium.
Earlier this month, ToLiss and Aerosoft released the Airbus A340-600 for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and MSFS 2020, delighting the community.
"Using a base mesh and textures, the game utilises your internet connection to stream even higher quality terrain data onto your PC as you play, via the Azure cloud. It is a novel way to boost the game's fidelity and diversity that I've yet to see in any other release. This is indeed a fully fledged 'power of the cloud' implementation that delivers something that just wouldn't be possible to the same fidelity with a conventional download."
The powa of the ☁ is close at hand
Power of azure 💪
The game looks amazing graphically. However, hearing the tech which is amazing as well, is also kind of scary they give real-time global weather and flight paths for real planes, and that could be some dangerous information easily accessible to people ready to commit terrorist acts.
I wonder what would happen if top open world developers like Rockstar, CD Projekt start using cloud to generate open worlds.
