Microsoft Flight Simulator is a young platform, so developers are continuing to find impressive ways to break new ground.
Aerosoft is preparing to release Brussels Airport (EBBR) and developer Jo Erlend posted a small but very interesting preview on the publisher’s forum.
You can see what I mean below.
At first sight, it may seem difficult to understand exactly what you’re looking at, but this is very impressive.
First of all, we see that the visual dock guidance system has been at least modeled. While we don’t see it in action, it does show an animated display.
Normally, the VDGS isn’t even modeled in Microsoft Flight Simulator add-ons, but this is certainly a step forward. It’ll be interesting to see if Aerosoft will manage to actually make it functional.
Perhaps equally impressive is what we see behind the VDGS and beyond the iconic curved glass of Brussels’ terminal. We can see that the people inside are actually subtly animated, providing a much more dynamic environment compared to what is in most airports nowadays.
At the moment, Brussels’ Airport doesn’t have a release date just yet. It has been pretty much a meme among the community with the first tease for previous simulators dating all the way back to 2013.
Now, with a change of development team and the switch to Microsoft Flight Simulator as the lead development platform, things appear to be finally moving apace.
