• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Flight Simulator 40th Anniversary Announcement

Some people question including military planes in MSFS, because it's a civilian sim.

If you don't like it, don't fly it. :) As a die-hard aviation fan who grew up on Star Trek, I'm absolutely delighted that I'll be able to fly a DC-3, a Beaver, an F-15D, and a Pelican, all over an incredible recreation of an entire populated planet.

Agreed. But all the same...need a manual or a hint to teach people how to fly it. This way trying right/wrong, no joy. Useless to me and I speak only for myself gf course...

- More helicopters planned, of course
- Seb and the other developer coding the flight model were visiting Guimbal at the time of recording meeting with test pilots
- Guimbal wants to ensure the helicopters are done "right"
- 10 or so helipads coming in November, researchers on the team are currently looking for a global database of helipads. If you can help, get in contact with Jorg
- landing on moving platforms; discussions happening, work has not started yet
- looking at adding "all of the oil rigs in the world", "we're going to do it, there's no question. it's just time"
- historical helicopters, nothing planned but Jorg is open to it
- "looking into" sling loading
- in regards to the "10 year life cycle", "we aren't just leaving once the ten years is up", development will continue as long as its profitible
- "right this moment, I think we have 4 times the audience then when we launched" (To put that into perspective, here is an image that the team shared 1 month after release in 2020 https://i0.wp.com/news.xbox.com/en-.../sites/2/2020/12/Momentum_2M_Final_HERO-1.jpg)
