The main takeaway from this was the sound, the sound of the rain on the airframe, really felt that you were there. Flying around was smooth and flight dynamics were realistic in terms of what you would expect from a GA aircraft, if you extend the flaps expect the nose to pitch up. So what was it like - I started at Naples and the demo's are only 10 minutes to allow for the throughput, the scenery was amazing and varied, I started in the air and the member from XO19 who wasn't part of the development team played with real world weather, time of day UTC times and night lighting, all smooth and this is still a pre alpha build folks so there was a few display bugs that the team are aware of and will deal with.
#MICROSOFT FLIGHT SIMULATOR X DEMO SERIES#
They have kicked off the partnership series with aircraft manufacturers and they are using certified drawings, test pilots from the manufacturer everything!! The 747 will be very close to the real thing, they don't see a difference between default and study level again from the horses mouth. All scenery is default as you see it, rest assured guys those who think ORBX had anything to do with Courchevel, well they didn't and that is from the horses mouth! They have the attitude everything should be default out of the box. The game was running on cached mode and you could choose Renton, Naples or try to land at Courchevel. People who had not played flight simulator before who were giving it a go! The visuals simply amazing were everyone's comments. The area was smaller than the other demo areas available however it was one of the most popular aside from the new Star Wars game. The anticipation standing in line, would I be disappointed? What would I feel? The team had some of the main ASOBO members there as well as the two main Microsoft bods who were hands on in the demo area. I just wanted to say I went today to XO19 and played the demo 4 times (all that were available).
