Jorg just said MSFS2020 has nearly monthly updates planned all the way out to 2028, for those concerned about them ditching the sim after 2024 releases.

2024 has 25 dev teams contributing to it.

Ini builds made the red bull racing planes, Gaya is doing the KJFK upgrade.

We can open the door and exit the plane; we're able to do actual preflights, walking around the plane. Nice!

Clouds systems are being improved, including cirrus

I did wonder if the ‘Cirrus’ vision jet was a reference to clouds, but I thought, ‘no, they wouldn’t….’ 😅

The video of the helicopter above the fields in Tuscany...

I confess, I cried. This is like something out my dreams from age 12.

I mean look at those Autogen Cypress trees.. I'm just speechless.

The wake turbulence, the crops, just looks so real.

How much CPU and GPU power (how many FPS...) will all these new features cost?

[Sky_Pilot071 637]

The location specific biom AI modeling is huge!

Well I upgraded just prior to the release of MSFS in 2020. Probably time to do that again. Motherboard and CPU are next in line.  😉
