RatRace Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I find it hard to believe that Dovetail Flight School still uses the old cfg coding method from FSX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSkorna Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Seeing that is it basically FSX what did you expect? http://www.air-source.us/images/sigs/000219_195_jimskorna.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnost Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I thought it would be a 64-bit application? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaskancrab Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I was expecting they build on the foundation that was Flight! Console gamers complain about remade games all the time, and yet they have significant improvements. Given how unstable Train Sim has been for me lately I don't have much hope for this anymore.

Bobsk8 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 It is 64 bit, but still based on FSX, Like putting lipstick on a pig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zswobbie1 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I was expecting they build on the foundation that was Flight!. DTG ALWAYS stated that it will be based on FSX! Never on Flight! It is pretty obvious when you think that they already started with FSX:SE! Robin Cape Town, South Africa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know but don't you feel it kinda foolish to pay anymore money for FSX:SE. I got my bugfixes. and that's great. But give me a bit more than a new view for the map and the hangar.

b3burner Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I myself was hoping for more fluidity and higher FPS w/ 64-bit. I think ultimately, nothing is ever going to get better for my rig until I ditch the AMD and replace it with an NVIDIA... but I'm just going by what I've heard most of the years gone by. I hold out hope that things will get better, and maybe this could still be some sort of a God Send... but it's cautiously optimistic hope at this point.

johnost Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Just downloaded it last night. I think it looks pretty good for a $15 world-wide flight sim for beginners. Had it at full graphic settings and found frame rates LESS than I get in FSX at slightly less than max settings - may have to back off a bit.

truenorth71 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 FSX was a step forward, when it came out in 2006. Here it is, 10 years later and it seems that the likes of DTG and even LM are side-stepping, instead of stepping forward, and it seems due in part to the fact that they are still working with MS FSX coding. I don't want to sound like I am contradicting, as I am a faithful user of P3D these days, but for what DTG has revealed in their Flight School sim, it does seem more of the same FSX that is a lot prettier and fancier. I DO like FS's interface, which is a departure (despite having a touch of a look of MS Flight), but when it comes down to it, I have to pass on it. I like the ideas that DTG has for getting new people interested in flight, but the way they marketed it could have been better. It's as if they tried to mask the fact that they were building off of a sim they already had rights to, thinking new people wouldn't notice, but I have seen a lot of veteran simmers call them out on it. There was a long speech given at the recent convention by the CEO of DTG, and again, they way he presented things left me skeptical at best. I hope I am wrong and DTG pulls through with something solid, stable and appealing for their upcoming full sim, but time will tell. - James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UPHILL3 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Well, supposedly Dovetail has, or will develop their upcoming flight sim engine that will have a unique platform and coding - perhaps the Flight School was just a way to dip their toes in the growing flight sim competition?

HyFlyer Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Well, this was unexpected........ https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/content.php?16658-Taburet-Europe-Vector-Scenery-for-DTG-Flight-School This is an add-on for the Dovetail Games Flight School software.
