Do you know why microsoft decided they needed a sequel? DCS users would go mental if Eagle Dynamics decided to quit the current title and move onto another one.
Before they stopped making flightsims for a period of time it was common for them to release new versions every few years where each improved on the last. The way the technology has advanced in the last 3 years I'm going to take a guess and say it would be easy for them to take the base code of MSFS and create a new game rather than to try to rewrite MSFS to use the new stuff. Whatever the case I look forward to the new release because at least with this series they have always been a leader in flight sims and every new release brings huge improvements that are have always been impressive.
By end of year it will been around 4 years since MSFS so given that history I don't see anything out of the norm here. What concerns me a little is their focus on careers in the new game, while I welcome it I just hope they don't neglect other improvements trying to take the series in new direction and make a game that people did not really want. I read somewhere that around mid-year this year they were going to start demo'ing the game as some of the conferences so if true that sounds like a Christmas launch is probably accurate.
yeah I agree the DCS community would go apeship !

QuoteAs much as I would love to get this classic aircraft eventually. I have a tonne to go through in my collection. I have the F15E and am also going to wait and see what is going on with development on that front.
DCS is too big to fail :) pretty much the only sim I play. Although I also occasionally get the itch to buy microsofts latest flight sim. Is microsoft releasing a sequel to that already?
