Bremspropeller Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 D'oh. I might have to pause my X-Plane add-on hiatus for the Toliss A319. That thing just looks too sweet to pass.

From what it appears, Accu-sim is an engine (I'm not used to general aviation sims), but it can’t compare with the cockpits I'm seeing from MSF2020. They are in another level.

They are in another level. It is an external program that does what FSX cannot do and it has evolved considerably. It is remarkable to see that the stock flight sim now comes up with functionality that at least in part does what Accusim was tailored to do. In the end, it now seems to me that now it just comes down to how exact a dev is willing to record and flight test an aircraft rather than technological limitations. What is interesting now is what the top developpers can make of the functionality given. Just thinking of FS2020 expanded in a way FSX was expanded in capability and scope... This will be a whole new level. I'm just happy being hooked up with 1Gb fibre. I'll be using that it seems... 1

For this, I'd splurge on a 3700X. From one of their later video talks I pretty sure I heard that it takes advantage of multiple cores - which would be a first in PC gaming. 3

Only flightsimming though, no? I've seen CPU test videos on youtube where some games eat up all the cores.
BornToBattle Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 Could be on other games but so far no flight sims that I’m aware of. Please correct me if I’m wrong. I do have IL2 with sliders right in VR and runs well. There was a great thread concerning this matter if I ever run across it I’ll post.
Jaws2002 Posted February 8, 2020 Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) Il2 is using six cores most of the time, but a lot of things are done on a single core. I've seen one core run at 100% while the rest sit there on multiple occasions wile playing. DCS is a bit better in that respect, but the game is bigger and more complex. I recorded a quick mission in DCS that shows the CPU usage in a simple of line quick mission. This is recorded at 1440p, so most of the time my CPU is waiting on my older 1080TI to build the frames. At 1080p i would get higher frames and the CPU would work harder, but this are the settings i play at. Edited February 8, 2020 by Jaws2002
CanadaOne Posted February 9, 2020 Posted February 9, 2020 Waiting to see if this thing makes use of multiple cores. If it does, gonna get a 3700X I think.
Dakpilot Posted February 9, 2020 Posted February 9, 2020 I think it will rather be making use of multiple internet connections ? Cheers, Dakpilot 3
CanadaOne Posted February 9, 2020 Posted February 9, 2020 Wonder if this thing will need it's own 500GB SSD.

I suspect that will depend on how much scenery you want to download in advance. With a fast internet connection, you may be able to stream it as you need it, requiring less storage. I use shared Wifi, which can be a bit erratic, so I'm planning that my new rig (which is about due anyway) will have a 1TB SSD just for simulations. I'll probably fill it within a year or two... 1

I got a new video card but the rest of the rig upgrade will have to wait until spring I think. But a 1TB SSD does sound good. BOX is pretty small so that's on my 250GB C:/ drive SSD, but Steam/DCS (about 200GB) is on it's own 500GB SSD. A 1TB Crucial SSD is pretty cheap, so that's an easy upgraded option. They upped my 40MBs net connection to 60 MBs for free, that was good. But I'd still like to have some FS2020 scenery stored away, might make for smoother flights.
simfan2015 Posted February 9, 2020 Posted February 9, 2020 IMHO it still looks something like a nice "Earth from Above" ... nature relaxation movie to me. If OTOH it would feature VR too and warplanes/warbirds, tanks, AA ... then this would surely be the "Biggest Game of the Year" because it would really matter what you could accomplish in this huge sandbox game-world. For this I am hoping the 'new' microprose will make a war/conflict title that I, personally, would be interested in. Until then it will only be IL-2 (and DCS) for me, but of course ... YMMV.

Semor76 Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 And they release the next Dev. update today!! Once more, all I can say is: R.I.P. X-Plane & P3D. These guys are totaly crazy... 1

dburne Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Wow after all this time after abandoning the franchise hard to believe MS is putting all this effort into what at least appears will be a great civilian flight sim. Now if they would just get off their butts and go ahead and add VR support.
ZachariasX Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 I think VR does not go well wil all this eye candy. If say that sim came out and you could make it give you 30 FPS in a setting remotely looking as shown on the promo videos, then what would be the point?

Glad to see some improvements to ground service vehicles with animated persons, luggage, Ground power cord, etc (Though they were available in FSX/P3D with GSX). No more slingshotting planes during pushback, baggage carts at planes for 5 minutes. Airport tech looks very great and really looking forward to playing this game.

I´m in the recent alpha tester cycle as we speak, and I´m pretty sure that the people around the Asobo team will do their homework right this time. Just look at all the previous Dev. blogs/Vids. It speaks for itself. This will be the flight sim what so many of us dreamed of for years or decades. Edited February 21, 2020 by Semor76 1
DragonDaddy Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 My flight sim dreams have WWII aircraft in them.
Jade_Monkey Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) Never had an interest in non-combat flight sims but this I will definitely try. This video is pretty interesting regarding how they created the airports: Edited February 22, 2020 by Jade_Monkey 1
Reggie_Mental Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) I simply cannot wait! But I fear this will be fantastically expensive and possibly on a subscription. There will be little, if any freeware to begin with, and what little there will be will be expensive. I imagine it is going to be a big performance hit for most PCs. Mine is pretty powerful, but it never liked X-Plane 11 very much. (But it does DCS and IL2 BoS on mostly ultra settings without a struggle. And I've pretty much smashed FSX performance wise with every slider to the right and up to 255fps!) Edited February 22, 2020 by Reggie_Mental

I would be happy getting a 3600X, but if it turns out FS2020 will burn through all cores, I'd definitely consider saving up for a big fat CPU.

With the new consoles having 8 cores, I would expect games and sims that are cross-platform (including FS2020) to utilize those cores. With that in mind, I'm not sure I'd purchase a six-core CPU at this time. And I also expect the 3000-series Ryzens to drop in price throughout the year with the impending release of the new generation. 2
