zSCHIZOz Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Anybody hear or read any rumors on third-party development addons? I would really like an accurate helicopter sometime in the near future. Hopefully Microsoft will release some helicopters in the not-so distant future but I'm not holding my breath. I am hoping however that companies like Aerosoft will produce some interesting addons. I've been eyeing the Huey X by Aerosoft but what's the point when 2020 is about to release? Maybe these FSX addon aircraft can be ported to MS2020? That would make things very interesting. Anyways, I thought I'd ask here as this seems like a pretty informed community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zSCHIZOz Posted August 10, 2020 Author Share Posted August 10, 2020 Good stuff, my man! I'm hoping for aircraft over scenery though. MS did a pretty nice job with the scenery even if most of it is autogen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBILL737 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Will the scenery be so good that there will be no need for 3rd party scenery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvensmith Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Will the scenery be so good that there will be no need for 3rd party scenery? Think that will be a subjective issue. You will have default FS scenery vs. streamed scenery vs. add on (presumably installed) scenery. That will also have to be judged against what settings you can run at - say on medium, you might find a 3rd party scenery gives better performance and results than the same in the streamed scenery.

loki Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Will the scenery be so good that there will be no need for 3rd party scenery? That will depend on the quality of the data feeding the streamed scenery data. Some areas with photogrammetry will look great, while other areas will be lower quality, though still generally better than the defaults for most previous sims.

jeroen79 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 I can think of some areas where addon scenery can be desired: -More extra quality airports. -Landmarks that the AI didn't include or didn't do well. -Areas where Bing has lower quality or is outdated. -Historical and hypothetical scenery. I wonder if Microsoft will be updating the standard scenery. Will we see gradual improvements to things that are not covered as well? Will we see changes in the real world in the sim as well?

Yes, the scenery will improve as the source data from Bing and elsewhere improves. Look for the Ars Technica articles linked here a couple weeks ago. They talk about the update cycle Asobo is planning on following. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kapitan Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Its a ball spinning, we are in it with Bing Because of the popularity of flightsim and maybe the xbox version, Bing will have more reasons to update frequently and be a leader in this segment Kapitan Anything I say is...not as serious as you think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
