November 27, 20196 yr Awesome. What I saw was amazing TBM9 and C208 cockpits. Some sort of RNAV functionality (GPS) with a direct to....I also noticed the PROC button was greyed out....hopefully will be colored for release version. I saw WX radar on the caravan (would imagine TBM has the same)....the interior lighting looks great! (although we sort of have that now with P3D v4 and definitely with XP11) I'm excited to see what avionics they have in the CJ4 and if its reasonable enough to do vatsim/Pilot Edge etc (basically you need updatable data/instrument procedures/SIDS+STARS). It looks like CJ4 has all ProLine 21 in it....maybe MS will surprise us! edit: And yes, the X-Cub has a cockpit nearly exactly like the MS video. lol just realized they must have read these forums right before posting...referencing Andy's "25000" post lol Edited November 27, 20196 yr by ryanbatcund | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |

November 27, 20196 yr woah i am happy its 00:07 and i can finaly go to bed, the new video was worth the waiting! Nice information for 3D modellers like the 4k PBR Materials! Edited November 27, 20196 yr by Nedo68
November 27, 20196 yr The Deferred PBR pipeline is really nicely implemented. Great material details.
November 27, 20196 yr Wow, I thought it was a photo when those leather seats appeared... The cockpits and cabins look amazing, and the UI for the checklist system seems very functional and polished. Edited November 27, 20196 yr by ChaoticBeauty
November 27, 20196 yr WEATHER RADAR ! FMC ! NAVAIDS ! FLICKERING LIGHTS ! LOOKS BETTER THAN REAL ! I`M FREAKING OUT !
November 27, 20196 yr Love the checklist system. Makes it a lot more accessible than trying to learn from a PDF! Rich Holding
November 27, 20196 yr I got to see a quick glance of two planes ( excited about all of them ) I am really excited about, the TBM 930 with the functioning G3000 ( sure they all need work still, tweaks, etc.. ) and the X-Cub, now if they would let me see a peak of floats for the X-Cub 🙂 Amazing stuff and for someone like me, the ability for complete Manual checklist, Semi checklist, or fully Automatic checklist for when I am lazy, which is often, and the graphical look of the checklist looks great to me, modern, etc... And the fact that they are like their real world aircraft in the default sim, stunning!

November 28, 20196 yr Commercial Member Two things which made me very happy are: - Deferred rendering PBR engine. This means, basically, much better Dynamic Lighting, which will not be so much affected by the number of DL present in a scene. - SSAO ( Screen Space Ambient Occlusion ), which will be as huge time saver when modeling any kind of thing, since right now we (well, not everybody...) had two use two different kind of baked AO, one for the micro-details and repeated textures, which went in one of the textures channel, which I think will still be available, and a separate one using the 2nd UV channel, to do a 2nd pass to provide an AO that is related to the overall object mesh. With the sim doing SSAO in realtime, we'll save that 2nd pass. Not much for a performance benefit, but mostly to save time while developing objects.

November 28, 20196 yr At 2:04 in the video, on one of the screens in the background, it seems to be a C172 Cessna Skyhawk cockpit with analogue gauges, rather than the Garmin glass cockpit. Edited November 28, 20196 yr by seamaster55
November 28, 20196 yr The cockpit builders will surely be relieved now that it is confirmed there will be multi-screen/window support at release. If I'm not mistaken, that wasn't a certainty up till this point, but maybe I missed that. Neat to see they have their own in-house DR400 cockpit up and running. I don't see how any of the avid flight simmers in these forums aren't super psyched about all this. No doubt there will be much work remaining to fill out the flight sim down the road, but it appears this will be an incredibly advanced product right out of the box.

November 28, 20196 yr I very much like the idea of scalability. Get a beginner going by guiding him from cold and dark to takeoff giving him a possibility to learn basic procedures without going through 100s of manual pages. Just learning by doing.

November 28, 20196 yr Shut up and take my money! Seriously it's absolutely stunning. I love the way the checklists are implemented, i think it will lead to a lot more people starting cold and dark.
