Microsoft has stated that the player's aircraft will feel air as it lifts, drags, or slides as they come in contact with it, accounting for ice on the wings, pollution particles, or how wind moves through buildings or across tree tops, as well as friction of rubber to asphalt when the aircraft touches down, with the aircraft responding accurately to each of these instances. A separate atmospheric renderer simulates accurate humidity and pollution. Other sources of data include terrain data for landscaping, data for foliage density, real-time meteorological data, and air traffic updates. Flight Simulator covers 3D scans of the environment into the game world. Through cloud-based technology, Flight Simulator streams data to the computer or console in real-time, with AI being utilized to extrapolate geometry from a blend of satellite and flyover imagery. Flight Simulator features a 600-kilometer draw distance and allows the player to see storms hundreds of miles away, with lightning cracking inside of clouds. Individual clouds will have their own behaviors and they will impact aircraft performance depending on their location within the system. An example used at E3 2019 was that if it was raining somewhere in real life, it would be raining in-game. There will also be realistic physics and weather systems, and utilization of real-world weather data.

Using a base mesh and textures, the game uses the Internet connection to stream even higher quality terrain data onto the PC or console through the Azure cloud as the player plays, boosting the game's fidelity and graphical diversity.Īsobo has created its own flight model engine, allowing thousands of surfaces and 3D forces and moments to be fully simulated. Flight Simulator features multiple terabytes of texture and heightmap data.

Microsoft Flight Simulator will also launch free of charge as part of Xbox Game Pass for PC.
While the initial launch is focused on the PC, the date for launch on the Xbox family of consoles is awaited. Airports like San Francisco or London’s Heathrow airport are locked behind the premium edition, while Chicago’s O’Hare airport and Amsterdam’s Schiphol are available in the deluxe version. The pricing ranged from US $59.99 for Standard, to US $89.99 for Deluxe, and US $119.99 for the Premium Deluxe edition. The company announced three different versions of the title - Standard, Deluxe, and Premium Deluxe, each providing an incremental set of airplanes to choose and additional airports with more detailed visuals. On July 13, 2020, Microsoft opened up preorders, and announced that Flight Simulator for PC would be available on August 18, 2020. And as such scenes can be based on years-old imagery.

All good and bad, Bing doesn't update their maps as much as Google does. it's not just satellite imagery though, the simulator engine (Asobo) creates more details by hooking into the computing power of Azure, Microsoft's cloud computing platform, so flat and dull-looking images of Bing Maps are rendered into a moderately realistic landscape. The world is then filled with three-dimensional objects, according to the prediction provided by the algorithm. But again, you need a proper internet connection. The landscape that you see in FlightSim is therefore based on what Microsoft has available as satellite images from Bing. There is another thing not related to the graphics card we must mention, you need a proper internet connection as the engine uses Microsoft's own Bing Maps. Airports and planes meticulously designed to offer excellent precision, as we can see in the following trailer which was captured in UHD in real-time. Ever since the closed beta, the game ran between 30-40 FPS at 4K / Ultra with the fastest graphics dards. As for graphics cards, an AMD Radeon RX 570 or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 at least is detailed. Also, 8 GB of RAM and 150 GB of free disk space. It will be necessary to have at least a Ryor Intel i5 4460 processor. FS2020 is a demanding title of you want the best experience.
