When they disbanded the team in 2009 I thought we'd never see a proper replacement for Flight Sim X. The visuals look gorgeous but the real test is whether the airplane models have realistic physics - otherwise this is just a toy like Microsoft Flight.
- qmarchi 7y agoDo you think the 787 MAX 8 has the faulty MCAS system?

- TylerE 7y agoWell, there's Prepar3d, which is derived from the FSX codebase but as of version 3 has advanced quite significantly - the biggest changes being full multi-threading and being natively 64bit.
- xvf22 7y agoI agree, physics are key as well as how moddable and expandable it is. Microsoft flight simulator has a huge modding community.
- ThrowawayR2 7y agoHas there been anything to indicate that Microsoft reconstituted the ACES Studio team? If not, there isn't much reason for hope.
- mastazi 7y agoSome of the ACES team members now work for Lockheed Martin, in the team that develops Prepar3d (another flight simulator), but not all of them.
