Microsoft's flight simulator approaches photorealism in its new trailer, which shows the snow and confirms the seasons and climatic changes.
Microsoft Flight Simulator is becoming one of those games that is hard to believe they look so good. The photorealistic word, as incredible as it may seem, begins to remain small and the title is still determined to leave us with one mouth open one trailer after another. The new video of the game to commemorate 2020, date on which it is scheduled to launch, confirms that there will be seasons and lets us take a first look at its spectacular snowy landscapes.
Developed by Asobo Studio, the French team that gave us the most remarkable A Plague Tale: Innocence, this new Microsoft Flight Simulator will base its power on Azure, the company's cloud, from which it will extract a huge amount of data. It is estimated that it will import up to 2 petabytes of Bing Maps information and that it will use photogrammetry to generate an exact model of the Earth that updates its meteorological data in real time. This does not mean that it is only played in streaming, because as the study explained, “when you start the game for the first time you will have to be connected to the internet, but once the loading time is done, your map will be stored in the cache . If your connection is gone you can continue playing without any problem. ”
First brands confirmed
Of course, we can also expect deep and complex gameplay, as corresponds to the saga and any simulator. In fact, some of the brands that will have their models represented in the title have already been confirmed:
- Airbus
- CubCrafters
- Daher
- Diamond Aircraft Industries
- ICON Aircraft
- Robin Aircraft
- Textron Aviation
- The Boeing Company
As we said, although it does not have an exact departure date, it is expected that Microsoft Flight Simulator will arrive this year on PC. Later it will have a version for consoles (perhaps Xbox Series X?) And its creators have even declared that they have the support for virtual reality among their priorities. We leave you with the last video before the snow, uploaded by the official account of NVIDA GeForce to Twitter and equal or more spectacular if possible.
