Flight Simulator For 360

kremedios · 13 Jun 2007 at 13:17

Does anyone think that Microsoft will release a version of their Flight Simulator for the Xbox 360? It would be a great addition in my opinion as i love flight simulators and dont want the hassle of upgrading.

How would they map all the controls? They'd have to bundle a usb keyboard with it etc, can't see it happening.

Maybe it could be possible with the keyboard controller add on -

Cant see them doing it though.

Is that pic real??????

If so that would be mint once they bundle a web browser in the dashboard.

They might do a combat one, but not a full on flight sim.

Yes, the keyboard add-on was announced/confirmed quite a while back.

Cool, hadn't seen that one before. Looks smart.

I doubt you'll ever see FSX on the 360, it's over 12gb installed on a PC so you need to spread it over 3 DVD's and constantly swap or have it installed to the 360 hdd.

360 discs are DVD+R DL, So are over 9Gb, im sure they would be able to compress the game onto one, but I dont really see them bringing it to the 360 anyway.

8.5GB, but 360 games tend to use only around 7GB for some reason.

Perhaps they'll make use of something like this:

Being released with Ace Combat (as an optional bundle).

WOW, now that does look impressive, if they can manage to do this on an HD tele it would be unreal.

Darkaber · 14 Jun 2007 at 10:53

I wonder what the price of that will be? I want!

I think flight simulator on the 360 would be great, considering the visuals it would be able to produce.

Give it lots of mission based gameplay and good multiplayer, could be great fun.

i am looking forward to ace combat 6 even more now
