Asobo publishes a new development diary focused on sky navigation in Microsoft Flight Simulator. Learn how to draw up a flight plan.
Asobo publishes a new development diary focused on navigating the skies in Microsoft Flight Simulator. During the video we can check the degree of realism that it achieves not only in the visual plane, but in the playable one.
The company focuses on long distance flights. When you do long-haul routes to a specific destination, pilots don't just drive by looking through the window. Cockpit instruments are vital to successfully achieving our goal.
When creating a flight route, the game allows us to select with total precision which airport we will be taking off from and where we will be landing, including boarding gates, disembarkation gates and more details. The IFR will be selected depending on whether the flight will be carried out at low or high altitude. The precision of the data is total: we can choose any point on the planet. The study has signed a collaboration with Navblue, a traffic and air route management company that is updated every 28 days with real information.
All instruments on the control panel are interactive according to their function in real life. The most enthusiastic will see represented all the options that a pilot would have in his cabin. After all, it is designed so that this mass can feel the same as when it flies through the skies on its flights.
When the time comes, we can contact the control tower, vital to avoid interceding with other flights that occur in real time. We will have different options in the conversation to achieve a successful approach to the track. This option is optional as you can delegate the pilot's AI to perform the checks while we simply focus on flying. The same occurs in landings, where you can activate the automatic mechanism as long as the plane is equipped with the system.
In any case, Microsoft Flight Simulator is still in full development. If you want to choose to be one of the first to enter it, you can apply to the insider program, in which private tests are offered for users to report feedback in internal forums.
