DetCord 1539 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Thread contains limited info and screens. Some of the developer commentary has left me a little wary and reminds me a little of MS Flight, but its nice to see something in the works. http://www.reddit.com/r/flightsim/comments/2z2g1w/new_flight_sim_fs_world_are_you_interested/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Che. 1601 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 They are only gauging interest. Quite honestly, I don't see them getting anywhere. A good base engine is hard enough to begin with, it requires incredible amount of money to reach a certain level. Let's see where it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatrickZ 300 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I've read it and the thought occurs to me that this is someone who doesn't have any clue how difficult the things are that he promises. He'll soon realize and give up, then we'll never hear anything about it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetCord 1539 Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 I commented a few times on varying aspects. I'll reiterate them here. I like the idea of a new sim. I think its great. However, it is one thing to crank out terrain, highly detailed airports and a few (potentially) realistic aircraft. It's a entirely different endeavor to program and implement NATs, SIDs, STARs, AI controlled traffic with routes and TD, ILS systems, aircraft functionality, associated failures, the complexities of FBW (eg. Airbus which no one has gotten 100% right yet ), etc etc etc. MSFS is on its 13th iteration, XP on its 10th and P3D on its third. Again, I'm all for a new sim in the market, but I'm not above being realistic about what actually goes into it on the programing side of the house and the extreme intricacies needed for a well established community to accept it.

Skinner_11 22 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 It's like war. You need three things: money, money and money... But also a lot of time! We'll see how they get there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted March 17, 2015 Aerosoft Share Posted March 17, 2015 Claiming to deliver PMDG system depth in the base simulator means they simply have no idea of the complexity of the project. See our Airbus projects have a difference focus (and thus a different price level) but we learned the hard way how big the mountain needed for that is. We estimate that a 777 project will cost double what we have spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We estimate that a 777 project will cost double what we have spend. Exactly, and numerous people have pointed this out. I still like the idea of a new sim, however, I'm not nearly as diluted to believe they can possibly deliver on such broad promises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a Bronze Star and Purple Heart (x3?) in the upper left?! Yes, though the Bronze Star isn't for Valor. It was a TFR award. But you are correct on the three Purple Hearts.

DetCord 1539 Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Simply some kids that want some ...... It's rather pathetic is you ask me mate. I mean they have nothing to show other than pilfered screens from in-dev engines and or games, When they actually have something to show, I might jump on the bandwagon. Until then...

Fabian Boulegue [old] 213 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 To create a new flight sim is nothing a small company (like they look from there webpage) can do. It not take like 1 yr (we talking about 3-5yrs). There wont be a new flightsim (maybe a tweaked) within the next years i would say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emi 5161 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Actually this reminds me of another company with an A380 some time ago... looks like the same strategy (I mean, honestly, which serious developer would base their desctiption of the technical asphects of their sim on a PMDG comparison?! For sure you can mention it, but....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

User42 0 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I suppose the first thing they might have to do if they are serious is look at engines, perhaps Unity and Outerra are where they are looking. The guy seems to have a games pedigree and he did say further down that the list was aspirational, a list of the ideal, to start with. I'd be inclined to watch that space and hold fire as yet, it may be a scam but too early to say definitively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
