How is it that the commercial flight simulators never compete with MS in this space?
- zeusk 7y agoBecause they're based on the same tech. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Flight_Simulator#Lockheed_Martin_Prepar3D https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Flight_Simulator#Loc... I know Airbus also uses ESP as the base, but not sure about Boeing sims.
- Macha 7y agoYou don't need to be pretty as a commercial flight sim, you just have to have enough accurately modelled instruments and inputs to be confident putting someone in a real plane after a bit of sim practice - they won't be surprised that the mountains are no longer grey cones.
