  • Опубліковано 19 сер 2024
  • Taking a deep dive into the new Microsoft Flight Simulator! FS2020 has been one of my most-anticipated releases in a long time, what an absolute technical achievement. It's got its quirks and limitations, no doubt about it, but this is a flight sim with a bright future!
    This review was made using a copy of the game I bought myself. Not sponsored, no payments or codes received, all opinions are my own.

    The Karman line, i.e. the boundary between earth's atmosphere and space, is typically defined as the altitude of 100 km. Regardless of that convention, Theodore Karman himself calculated that the atmosphere becomes too thin to support flight at an altitude of 83.6 km or about 275000 feet. So that maximum altitude does make sense after all, and isn't some arbitrary number!

    I'd personally love to see "flight damage/malfunctions" as an add-on. Not even modeling, necessarily (although THAT would be amazing), just if I fly through a freakin' hurricane, I want my instrument panel to light up with warnings and my craft to start flying like it's waterlogged with half a wing torn off. Or if I skip pre-flight checks enough times, an ever increasing chance of my hydraulics or landing gear having issues working.
    It seems like it'd fit in nicely with FS' vision of "realistic sandbox simulator" and also provide a lot more for pilots to do, especially groups of pilots in multiplayer - just try to tell me you and your friends wouldn't be chasing hurricanes to see who can get closest and/or land safest with the most catastrophic damage, and the mid-air collision would be even more fun if your control panel lit up red and you started flying around like your plane was blind drunk.

    In case you weren't aware, this is also one of the only games i've seen that actually makes use of the Pause key for its intended function! Hitting the Pause key freezes the plane in place while letting the simulation continue. Great for using the drone or other camera modes to try and capture photos!

      Specs aren't wild tho. I mean, a new-ish gen upper level laptop can run it with decent trim. The thing that's really killer here is the memory (not ram) and because of how it works, if your MOBO spec is not up to the task of fast reading, you're probably better off buying an SSD just for this game to upset that problem. To be read (not for ultra-conditions, just decent play/views).

      It probably won't take 10 years anymore before we have a high detail digital parallel world that's constantly being updated with new data from camera's.

    So cool to see you fly the Citation Longitude. I have been a design engineer on that project since its infancy.
