Microsoft Flight Simulator

Or cry.

It's in Microsoft Flight Sim.

Oh, there you go.

They fly Cessna Caravans.

And there have been games, many games now, I don't wanna say many, but certainly dozens and dozens of games that have integrated some remote streaming of assets and things like that.

is the

big one.

The environments in that game They physically take up too much space on a hard drive, on a solid state drive, for you to store it all on your computer.

They're not going to store that map of the world on your computer.

They're streaming that in as you play the Microsoft Flight Simulator.

The most amazing thing you could possibly do with cloud gaming is you could build games that simply can't run on a local computer right now in any way, because they would need more processing power than we've ever had.

Cyball went to the flight sim conference thing in Filton, Bristol.

Anyway, Cyball said, I know AI is a dirty word in gaming, but Asobo, the people who make Microsoft Flight Simulator, said, uh has used its great effect to recreate the whole world in microsoft flight simulator uh and software called say intentions also uses it to allow users to talk to air traffic control realistically within the game those are all cool uses of ai i'm all for it it's using it in practical ways um and he says just needs to be used responsibly yeah totally agree um So Andy said, hey, Gary, if anyone's intrigued by Star Wars Galactic Racer, it's free to play on Luna if you have Amazon Prime.

So that's a good shout.

I've played a bit more of that.

Well, here's the thing.

Microsoft Flight Simulator, the game, they mapped the whole world, didn't they not? So in theory, I could just fly over there in the game and see what's happening down there.

But then again, by the same token, in questioning that, Microsoft could be editing things out, correct?

Microsoft does use real satellite imagery for Flight Simulator, but it's not live.

before.

I've certainly done it on Microsoft Flight Simulator, yes.

Have you now, Andy? I don't

suppose with your commercial simulators that they tend to have the capability for landing on aircraft carriers.

It is believed that he taught himself to fly from reading aircraft manuals and watching instructional DVDs.

as well as playing the Microsoft Flight Simulator.

By the way, this would also be just a personal challenge question.

Did you ever play Microsoft Flight Simulator? I sure did.

And I was terrible at it.

I fully admit, I'm just not technologically inclined.

Because I think that Colton Harris Moore, the barefoot bandit, really is going to be an exception that proves the rule.

And I know lots of teenagers are fascinated by speed boats and airplanes, but I don't think the average person would learn something like this and throw the plan into action.

The format enabled me to share my love for games with my non-gamer significant other.

My snubs are Civ V, Roller Coaster Tycoon, and Microsoft Flight Simulator.

Damn.

I bet that a couple of those were on Mike's list because he does lean towards all those things.
