Hi, FSRealistic here. Thank you for the review! We offer 7 days free trial so you all can try the full functionality we offer before you decide to buy. Enjoy!
My pleasure! Thank you for continuing to add functionality / immersion into MSFS! A very good point of the free trial - I have pinned the comment. Cheers once again and all the best : )
$29.00 USD! honestly dude, I reckon you're asking a bit much, like, it's a outstanding mod and all, but $29.00! that is some insane pricing ... I could guarantee if you made it cheaper, you would make more $ from simply more sales, there is no way I could ever justify spending that much on such a mod, though for half this price, I wouldn't second guess it ... but for $29.00, yeah, no way in hell
There was a short interview sequence with the head of MSFS Jörg Neumann in the 40th anniversary birthday event VLOG from the channel AeroNewsGermany. In this interview Jörg said that being able to step out of the cockpit and walk around will be a part of future improvements to the living world of MSFS.
That's great to hear MrStyle! It seems like an obvious addition to the sim at this point. FSRealistic offers a nice stop-gap solution in the meantime I suppose : ) Cheers for the info. All the best!
That's really pretty neat, and incentivizes possibly getting some of the really detailed airports and aircraft just to explore. The game engine is definitely capable of good visuals at almost any scale. I doubt it will ever be a priority but it would be fun if they could run a smoothing routine on the roads so that ground vehicles can drive on them without bouncing around all over the geometry in places.
Yes, it's certainly a nice feature to have John and although some have been a bit cynical about being able to "walk" in a flight sim, I certainly think the world of MSFS is detailed enough, to warrant having the capability to do so. Why wouldn't one want to land at the pyramids and take a walk around etc etc? For sure, there are details that could be better at ground level, the roads being one of them. I often wonder if we won't see Black Shark working its magic on the roads, railways etc at some point and eventually having train simulators, trucking simulators etc, all making their way into the MSFS world. Cheers : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulationsI mean in the latest Train simulator you can hop out of the driver seat and walk around the train. I don't see why we can't do that in planes
Haha, I like to cover more than just flight simulation on this channel Rob; road safety is also a very important lesson to learn of course! : P Cheers, all the best! : )
Haha! I'm sending it over to the "Into the Blue Marketing Department" as we speak. I'm thinking a £75 RRP is about right - "A fully authentic recreation, tested by real world pilots" naturally XD
I wonder what tech will be in 20 years or more, i read somewhere that now some company is trying to do similar things as blackshark AI where houses are generated based on satellite data, but instead of having low polly textures up close they are adding generated 3d objects based on that satellites data with higher polly count so houses and other things would look more realistic, like made objects with blender etc
It takes me back to FS 1, I had a copy my neighbor gave me on a floppy disk and he ran it on my dual floppy PC with an amber screen. I had so much fun. in recent months I got into drone flying and watching all I can on drones, And just this pat October and in my YT feeds comes a channel from Airforceproud95, and I started watching those videos not just because they are funny but the fun they were having with MSFS and I noticed X SE, I bought that it works with my present system , Win 10. And also bought a Thrustmaster T Hotus X. I watch Airforceproud95 his video's like daily now. Addicted and helpful in some ways and learn. I know the MSFS 2020 is one heck of a program. Now I debate myself. I would like to go Xbox s or X, another debate within myself, I have 509340493 laptops (exaggeration inserted there). So the xbox x perhaps I can manage but the program/game has came a long ways and I am having fun with the X steam SE version for the moment. Seems not too much there for multiplayer but its ok for now, I'm learning.
@@terrygreenman1540 I would not recommend buying on xbox if you want to fly something equal to study level aircraft, since xbox doesn't have these kind of planes, better stick to pc/laptop there is free great mod in the works by the community called a320nx if give it a try if you play on pc.
That Duxford scenery is gorgeous, I can’t believe how accurate it is - even the park! I’m just down the road from Duxford and have been a few times. He has been on the same springy-thing you hopped on at the end. 😂
Haha yeah, it's really very impressive, isn't it Eddie! I've been to Duxford a couple of times myself (it's been a while mind you) and I could certainly recognise plenty of the scenery (I could even spot a couple of new additions since I was last there haha). It would have been nice to have been able to walk around the American Hangar, but that's being INCREDIBY picky : P Haha, I'm glad you enjoyed the ending! Cheers and all the best : )
FS Realistic is ok-ish, but we need a "master" button for "sound off" 'cause sound is mostly mono and does not run the master volume percentage of the main simulator. So the first thing I do when the sim starts i search the FSRealistic window to turn it off. And when i use replay soft, FSRealistic ruins the landing so become unusable (wiggles the wings in a very unnatural way) for movie making. I bought FSRealistic 'cause it feels ok when comes the camera shake part and they did very well on early simulators.
Personally, I like FSRealistic Zsolt - I feel it adds some of the features the sim is currently lacking but I agree, a "master" audio button would be great (and indeed more options for "master" controls in general). All the best! : )
Haha, cheers Da Toner! Seems some people like it, some people can't stand it XD Either way, it's not "put on". I don't know whether it's a habit I have picked up at work, but even if I wanted to change it, it's so engrained that I don't think I could haha. I'm glad it works for you at any rate! Thanks and all the best : )
Haha, cheers F247! I figured it was a good opportunity to "shill" my own livery XD but for sure, the MD80 is a beautiful aircraft and the airstairs do look even more inviting in first person haha. All the best : )
I don't understand why RUclips isn't flooded with drone cam exploration videos. I find it so fascinating exploring places close up. I know the details are not the same as real life but that's what I find so intriguing, it's fascinating to note the differences between MSFS and real life. I walked around the area I live in with the drone cam and DAMN I ended up going to sleep at like 5 in the morning I just couldn't put my controller down!
I certainly feel it adds something to the sim Felipe. I gather Asobo have said that they will introduce such a functionality at some point, but I suppose this offers a good stop-gap solution, for those that want it in the meantime. Cheers and all the best!
Finally! Man back in the late 70s when I got my first flight sim, I always thought that the only thing missing was a first person walking view. Why else would someone get a flight simulator? After so many years/decades restricted to the cockpit and flying my flight simulator, today I can sit in first class and look out the window and walk down the boarding gate. I don't even have to fly my flight simulator anymore.
You know you spend too much time on flight sim forums when you can read a post and think "man, that sounds just like a post Crabby would make" before you see the flight number.
@@jaymac7203 Hey, in the late 70s we all thought it would be cool to have a phone without a cord that you could carry around and talk to friends and family. Unfortunately, we got a portable camera that can sometimes make calls if we really need to speak to another person.
Right on. I still use FS 95 and 98. The add-ons now available make them surprisingly impressive, like Venezia 98 photo realistic scenery. There was a HUGE amount of add-ons made which are free now so if you want to go back and check it out do so.
Indeed EJ205T. P3D actually had its own native avatar system (which I really feel MSFS ought to have - and I gather will be getting at a later date), FSX had Ezdok, FS2002 / FS2004 had a freeware alternative. The idea is nothing new, but it's great to finally see such an option in MSFS. As you say, viewed from the ground, you really get an appreciation for the size of some of these aircraft. I remember standing below a (real) 777 as a kid and being in awe at the size of the thing - it was unimaginable that it might be able to fly haha! All the best : )
Haha, well thanks very much David. The “PA effect” isn’t intentional on my part, so I’m not sure I could change things even if I wanted to XD My pleasure on the videos, I’m glad you’re enjoying the content! All the best : )
Finally. A proper walkaround inspection of your aircraft. Now they need good study level cessnas and such so we can remove the wheel chocks and pitot tube cover. And being able to hook up a pulley to push our aircraft around would be nice. I have a cessna skyhawk for xplane that allows all of this already and i always wanted it for every plane.
Indeed CodeRed; a nice functionality to have, now we just need A2A haha! I gather you're referring to the Airfoil Labs C172? I haven't tried the addon myself, but I hear excellent things. I know that Airfoil did release an aircraft for MSFS (nothing spectacular mind you), so hopefully they were testing the waters there, for planned future releases in the sim. Cheers! : )
They do have a default walk around, its called drone cam. What MSFS should have already is a reliable default replay system similar to to FSX and flybye view too.
@@davidrenton that replay system they have now is pure rubbish and nothing like in FSX or even better X-Plane which is the best. Those replays automatically recorded flights no manual start and stop nonsense where you have to open up menus during live flights like in MSFS, just annoying.
For sure you can use drone cam FSX legend, but I think both solutions have their own strengths and weaknesses. An improved replay system would certainly be most welcome also, but that's Asobo's department and this is of course a 3rd party addon (so I don't see a conflict of interest). All the best! : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations Ah Phooey I want my flybye cam view back and a replay similar to X-Plane. I like to watch my plane in action not sitting still at a gate.
I'd like to walk through the halls and offices of the airports, maybe for a third party addon to get my flightplan or to accept missions. In smaller airfields to pick up maintenance material for the small private plane.
Haha, indeed Dan, the scenery is very well done! It's been a few years since I've been to Duxford, but I was certainly able to recognise a lot of what I could see in the sim. Flying out of Duxford eh? Anything exciting? ; ) Cheers and all the best!
@@IntotheBlueSimulations Sadly not, in the 152 getting my hour building in. My friend lives literally right across the road from Duxford so when I found out the museum was closed on the day I visited, I nipped across the road to his for a cuppa!
Hi Mr PJ, Yes, some people have asked; "why would I want to walk in a flight sim", but to me the answer seems obvious haha. MSFS is the first flight simulator we've had, where the world is genuinely worth exploring. Why wouldn't you want to land at the pyramids and check them out, head off on foot to find those elephants etc etc ; ) Have fun and all the best! : )
Haha, well I am J May, although I don’t talk like that intentionally during my videos (I guess it’s just a habit that’s stuck) XD Cheers, all the best! : )
Hi Shane, You can do that to some degree with this addon. The camera height can be scrolled up and down using the mouse wheel, so you can also walk around the aircraft cabin, terminal buildings (if the scenery has them modelled) etc. I hope that clarifies things a little. All the best : )
Haha. Well it was a 9 minute video AF, so 2/3rds of the content were spent “walking”. Of the 3 minutes you mention, > 2 minutes was spent looking at / talking about the app GUI. Less than 1 minute of “filler” - tolerable I would have thought? All the best
@@IntotheBlueSimulations lol... I plan on using this for a pretty sophisticated "waiting in a spot" simulator. Seriously, though, I use biking sims (Zwift, RGT) for my stationary bike w/ Bluetooth. If there were a way to get "clear" roads (likely by turning off photogrammetry) and a way to get bluetooth input for a bike, it would be amazing.
Make MSFS as in "GTA" you drive from your house, go to the airport, fly your plane, landing, take your car for a ride, going to a restaurant for some dinner, walking in the town, going back again :) Or they could make the new GTA, compatible with MSFS :)
Hi Crisko, No, that is quite normal. I had recording of the mouse cursor turned off at the time - I was seeing the cursor on my screen also though. I hope that clarifies things. All the best! : )
Cheers, Art! Don’t forget to try the free trial first - see what the product has to offer, before committing : ) Also, do bear in mind that MSFS 2024 may come with much of the same functionality (by default) so, FSRealistic *may* become redundant pretty soon (otherwise though, it’s a very nice addition to the sim!). All the best for 2024!
I have this product but stopped using if for various reasons but this will give me reason to try it out again for this feature alone. Thank you for this preview ITBS your channel is always top class.
Hi Snowy, Yeah, I know FSRealistic isn't everyone's cup of tea (though personally I very much like it). I'd imagine a lot more people will be considering giving the program a go now. The first-person implementation is still pretty "rough and ready" at the moment, but it shows a lot of promise, if FSR can get a few things fixed up. My pleasure on the preview! Many thanks for the kind words : )
Yeah was waiting for that, got the email yesterday, & was trying it out in VR.. yup some bugs I noticed… but it’s pretty cool to walk about in the sim long overdue hats off to yah FS Realistic thx
@@fsrealistic7709 no need to thank me been wanting fps in this sim from get go… well done u guys, would be nice to have a avatar Body in fps but with the option for VR users.. like Hype Performance Group they are the only company that gets VR Truly they have a avatar in the chopper… who’s head disappear’s when in VR just like Elite Dangerous but when looking at the avatar from the outside his head is there… This is great for VR users… The best I’ve seen in a game for VR Fps.. is NMS… brilliantly done… amazing… What u have done here is great.. the only thing I would say is when u press the button for outside have them spawn just outside the door of that aircraft if possible instead of away looking at it… I know it’s work in progress but these tweaks need to be done right… An option to crouch would be cool, Plus as the chap said no sounds of the aircraft cockpit when ur moving about outside… keep up the great work… ps can u all fix the VR issue when in a heli, when u increase lift ur head ends up on ur lap… not good ;)
Yeah, it's a pretty cool functionality, isn't it Dempster and as you say, about time we had such an option in MSFS! Hopefully a few of the issues will be sorted (I'm sure these sorts of things aren't easy) but as you say, hats off to FSRealistic! Cheers : )
@@fsrealistic7709 what I would like to see is to be able to walk about on aerosofts… North Sea Addon… but we always end up falling on the sea.. & can’t climb high enough to reach the platform:/
Hello Steve, As BOFS points out, you can't "walk" up the airstairs etc, but you can slew the camera up and down to a desired height, so you can walk through the cabin, terminal and so on. Avatars can indeed be changed, based on the default Asobo options but again, visual articulation is beyond "rough and ready" at the moment. I hope that helps. All the best! : )
I'm glad you enjoyed the livery CTC! There are a number of BM liveries now available over on Flightsim.to (with more to come), if you're interested. If you were working up at EMA with Midland, back in the 80's, we quite possibly know one or two people in common : ) Cheers and all the best!
@@IntotheBlueSimulations hi. That's Possible. I was at British Midland cargo department in 89 till it closed. I'm still at Ema working on the ramp for DHL. Been with them 28 years and on the airport 37 years. Started with GT air services.
Doesn't it Adam! ChikoMick (the developer) did a cracking job with with scenery. I presume he went with the MK IX because it's a more readily available asset, but I could be wrong. . . Cheers, all the best! : )
Thats awesome. Like i always say, this game has HUGE and endless possibilities to grow even more. Main focus on simming of course, but for casuals bringing things like that wouldnt be bad. I hope for Microsoft that they see all of this. More costumers, more money for developing other things too in this game
Third party developers can focus on good planes with rich system depths and Asobo could expand the possibilities of the "plattform" MSFS so that other developers can make more versatile addons for logistics, trading, touristics, things we can't even imagine yet from the standpoint of a "mere" flightsim.
Yeah, it's a pretty neat piece of functionality isn't it Michael. I very much agree; I certainly hope that MSFS will stay true to its roots, but this sim has a tonne of potential to expand upon what we have traditionally seen in a flight simulator (the sort of things BerZerk mentions, being an example). I think Microsoft / Asobo know that what they have created is pretty special and I'm sure they'll want to make the most use / money out of the software as they can haha. Cheers, all the best! : )
There are a couple of cars freely available over on Flightsim.to Repvoid. They drive like shopping trolley’s haha, but I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before someone models a vehicle with more detailed physics. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if MSFS doesn’t eventually become a bit of an “everything simulator”. Cheers, all the best! : )
Suggestion: When you make one of these reviews, could you include a link to the item being reviewed? I think it would add much needed context and would allow people to research the wonderful reviews you do even further.
Hi Jim, I’ve tended to shy away from doing that, primarily because if there are multiple retail options out there, I don’t want to fall into the trap of; “I bought the product from your link, but it’s cheaper over on XYZ” - I’d rather let the customer do their own research into purchasing options etc. That being said, where there is only one vendor selling a product (as I believe is the case with FSRealistic), perhaps I will look to start including a link. Thanks for the suggestion and the kind words. Cheers! : )
Haha, MSFS certainly is going from strength-to-strength Mathias. I'd rather see P3D and X-Plane come and join the party, but sadly P3D looks a little lost at this point (unless Lockheed Martin pull something spectacular out of the bag) and X-Plane has a lot of catching up to do in some areas (though it's still the king of flight modelling for now). All the best! : )
Indeed SB, as does P3D and even right back to FS2002, there were programs that allowed one to do the same thing. It’s seems such an obvious feature have in a sim like MSFS. I gather Asobo have said they will bring native first-person support to the sim eventually, but I’m rather surprised it wasn’t included from the very beginning. Cheers, all the best! : )
That could indeed be another neat feature to add Daniel. Apparently, Asobo will be adding this sort of functionality into the sim natively at some point. So who knows, maybe there will be some sort of virtual hangar etc : ) Cheers!
Insane. Soon they will make it possible to go into a virtual duty free shop while simming and buy add-ons for MSFS just like the ability to refuel back in the early days. Actually that's a good idea as it will enable any simmer anywhere in the world to have equal access to all MSFS software.
Haha, well I suppose that’s sort of what the Marketplace is Simon (that + sneaking in the purchase options on the world map). It is a shame that the Marketplace purchase options are somewhat limited for the console, but until Asobo sort out the WASM coding issues (which should happen fairly soon), many addons simply aren’t comparable on the Xbox unfortunately. All the best! : )
You can actually drive in MSFS Dr Funk; there are a couple of freeware cars available for the sim, though the driving physics are pretty awful haha. I’m sure we’ll see improved cars at a later date. All the best : )
That is just so surreal. I really want that! It would be so much more immersive, having to actually walk from the terminal to the plane, on the tarmac, instead of using the jetway. (I still miss that.) Love the ending! 🤣
I gather that Asobo will ultimately be bringing the same functionality into the sim, so we should all be able enjoy pottering around eventually haha. Ha! I'm glad you caught the ending XD Many thanks once again!
I am having troubles with mine, it will never get passed the checking for update screen, tried uninstalling, troubleshoots, deleting the files like "Rolling cache, community" ECT but nothing 😔
Are you referring to the sim, or FSRealistic, Austin (sounds like the sim)? That could be an internet connectivity issue. I've had the same myself, albeit temporarily; my internet connection was fine, but the Microsoft servers were down or something. It may sound counterintuitive, but try logging off the internet and then staring the sim; that should skip straight through the "Checking for Update" screen and MSFS will load. Obviously you miss out on all of the photo imagery etc, so it's not a way you actually want to run the sim, but at least then you can confirm the issue (if indeed it is internet related). I hope that proves to be of some use. All the best!
Hello Christopher, Your avatar won’t be able to climb stairs etc per se, but you can slew the camera up and down using the mouse wheel and effectively walk around at whichever height you like (including floor level of the cabin, terminal etc). Whether or not you can shut the door etc, I suppose would depend on the specific addon. I hope that clarifies things. All the best! : )
Somewhat Thomas. You can’t “walk” up stairs etc per se (that is to say that your avatar won’t do it automatically), but you can slew the camera up and down (using the mouse wheel) to any height you like, so you can walk around the aircraft, terminal etc. I hope that clarifies things. All the best! : )
There are already a couple of freeware cars available for MSFS JL. They drive like absolute shopping trolleys haha, but I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before we see a vehicle with more accurate physics (indeed it would be a brilliant thing to have in the sim). All the best : )
Does Eurotruck not have such a feature Mark? That is surprising (it would seem almost a necessity in such a sim)! I am forever meaning to give Eurotruck a go, but never get around to it ha. Then again, I'm probably safer sticking with aeroplanes anyway haha. All the best : )
Hi Hani, The mouse pointer can’t be disabled within FS Realistic itself. I used the following file in order record without the mouse pointer; unfortunately it has to be installed / uninstalled each time you want to make the change (so it’s a bit inconvenient). I’m not sure whether this will work with non-NVIDIA cards: nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4592/~/how-to-hide-your-mouse-cursor-in-geforce-experience-share-video-recordings I hope that helps. All the best! : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations I get bad textures on walk around. Audio is more or less non existent. And when using fenix on walk around I get a black cockpit. Any fixes ?
Me too Jumpjet! I'll take the BAC1-11 whilst we're there as well! The David Maltby trifecta haha (I don't know how long you've been simming, that reference may make no sense ha). All the best : )
The dev did an amazing job at recreating the scenery, didn't he! I've been to Duxford a couple of times myself; long enough ago that I'd forgotten much of it, so it was rather surreal that the scenery was detailed enough to bring back some memories haha. Quite impressive for a flight simulator! Cheers EE, all the best : )
I have the up to date FS Realistic. I've got the Duxford Scenery with the Air show v3. with the spitfire. I have FS Realistic open and it has recognised the flight.( So i have selected and started a flight as the FS realistic requests). I go to first person view. I have copied your settings. I have pressed the end button. I cant get out of the aircraft view. Even in the external view. My view is not autonomous so i can explore Duxford. I cannot work out what i am not doing.
Thanks very much Rubens. My pleasure and I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm afraid not. FSRealistic runs through an external application, which obviously wouldn't be workable on the Xbox. The good news though; Asobo have said they ultimately plan on brining native first-person functionality into the sim, so it should be an option for everyone eventually : ) I hope that clarifies things. All the best!
One day bing maps will be so detailed that we could essentially turn the simulator into something like GTA. It will probably happen with the help of AI and crowdsourcing of 3d-scans from drones/smartphones/cars.
I think it will go that way eventually Jim. In fact, another comment on this video alluded to the fact that Black Shark AI, is looking to do the same thing with buildings as it has done with other aspects of the sim (ie analyse a building and then add appropriate texturing, such that it would look far more detailed). I'm not sure exactly what the future holds, but no doubt we'll be looking back on MSFS in another 20 years, wondering how we all coped with such basic graphics etc XD Cheers, all the best!
Haha, thanks very much Rui, I’m glad you enjoyed it! I like to leave a little “Easter egg” in at the end, from time to time ; ) Cheers and all the best!
How do you create your liveries. Looks awesome. Id like to learn how to do it so i can revive an Ecuatoriana de Aviaccion livery for my A310- 300. Cheers
I have a couple of other people who do them for me (on commission) Piloto haha. I’ve done a couple of basic liveries myself in the past and it is doable with a few basic pieces of software, but it certainly requires some skill / artistic leaning and quite a bit of time also (which I don’t really have - hence the commissions). If you don’t fancy getting stuck into it yourself, there is also a “requests” page over on Flightsim.to - that’s another option : ) I hope that helps a little. All the best!
I'm afraid you can't fix the issue Mark (though hopefully FSRealistic will at some point). The first-person mode does have a few issues, including black texturing on some addon aircraft (I did make mention of it during the video). I hope that clarifies things a little. All the best!
I know there's lots online already, but @IntotheBlueSimulations would you possibly consider doing a tutorial flight or two in one of the study airliners that are around now? I like the way you explain things :D Great channel, keep up the good work.
Hi Sapfu, Yes, I'm certainly considering it - quite possibly I'll do something with the 310. As you say, it's a somewhat "saturated" genre at this point haha, but I have a few ideas up my sleeve ; ) Thanks very much for the kind words, I'm really glad you're enjoying the content! Cheers and all the best : )
The walkaround mode doesn't zoom in I assume because it's meant to replicate a human walking around, and as I human, I am unable to zoom with my eyeballs. They're stuck at 55mm .
I understand what you're saying Bacteriod: It's not that I want a zoom function per se, but I feel that the default zoom level is a bit too "zoomed out", ie everything has a bit of a fisheye effect to it. Whether I'm correct in my estimation I don't know, but at least with a zoom slider, we can all set what feels about right to us. Cheers, all the best!
Hmm, I don't really use dev mode myself Bra1ds, but I think that behaviour is normal? I don't think dev mode saves any changes you make etc - perhaps I'm wrong though. . . Sorry I can't be of more help on that one. All the best!
Haha, why not David! It's a shame that the avatars aren't visible in multiplayer (so far as I know), otherwise you could have your own virtual crowd ; ) All the best!
Somewhat Mark. You can’t “walk” up stairs etc per se (that is to say that your avatar won’t do it automatically), but you can slew the camera up and down (using the mouse wheel) to any height you like, so you can walk around the aircraft, terminal etc. I hope that clarifies things. All the best! : )
Hmm, that’s strange AV8R. You aren’t the only person to mention having problems. . . I’m afraid I’m not really sure what the issue could be. You do have to be in the VC when activating first person mode (if I recall correctly) and perhaps it doesn’t work from custom views etc also. I’m afraid you’d probably have to head over to FSRealistic’s website / Discord etc for some firmer answers though. Sorry I can’t be of more help on that one. All the best!
Haha, cheers bwc! I'm glad you enjoyed the "study level" experience at the end XD Your avatar won’t be able to climb stairs etc per se, but you can slew the camera up and down using the mouse wheel and effectively walk around at whichever height you like (including floor level of the cabin, terminal etc). I hope that clarifies things. All the best! : )
Haha, cheers Piloto! Glad you enjoyed it XD I like to leave a little Easter egg at the end occasionally, just for those who watched the whole thing ; )
Haha, indeed Lukas. I can actually see MSFS going that way in the long run potentially. Presumably with a bit of AI trickery here and there, it wouldn't be too hard to add proper roads, railways etc and make MSFS a bit of an "everything simulator". We'll see though. . . Cheers, all the best! : )
Hi PaE, Well for a few of reasons really: 1) It takes as much effort for me to add the link in, as it would for one to google the same information (simply googling the name of the product in the title, will undoubtedly lead the viewer to the relevant website(s). 2) I'm always happy to answer questions / comments if people do get stuck. 3) Often these addons are sold on multiple platforms and it's up to the viewer, not me, to choose which option is easiest / cheapest / preferable for them. 4) Some addons are sold exclusively through the Marketplace, in which case I can't link them at any rate. If you look at the description for this video, I actually added in a link for both the scenery and the livery. Where I do think it may be genuinely trickier for the viewer to find something relevant, I try and remember to leave a link. I hope that clarifies things. All the best
IF on top of this walkaround mode there was an option to pick up a 3d avatar AND could see other player avatars in multiplayer… we would kick Metaverse’s ass
Well, "technically" the avatar option is already included alu2387, though it's very crudely implemented currently. It would be great to see other players for sure. I gather Asobo will ultimately bring first-person functionality to the sim and I expect they will introduce a system along the lines you mention, when they do so. From what I've heard, everything kicks Metaverse's ass XD Cheers, all the best!
I'm not 100% sure TLC, but since FSRealistic is a separate program, running in the background, I would imagine probably not. Asobo do intend to add native 1st person support to the sim at a later date though, so the Xbox will be covered with such a feature eventually : ) All the best!
Great overview, thanks for doing that. Don't really see what this adds though, as I currently use a joystick with twist axis in drone mode to achieve pretty much the same functionality (thumb buttons assigned to drone height and speed as well, so one-handed operation is very easy). Can definitely do without the motion sickness-inducing head bob. Just about the only pro would be the torch.
Cheers CD, my pleasure! Haha, I knew this one wouldn't be to everyone's tastes. I think both options (drone or first person) have their strengths and weaknesses: The advantages of FSRealistic (to my mind at least): Firstly, the motion effects / sound effects - it does make it feel more like "walking" (but as you say, some people just find it annoying haha). Secondly, the camera can be moved at a more reasonable speed (the drone is a bit quick by default and even when tuned right back, it still feels a bit quick when "walking" in the cabin. Thirdly, this mode maintains a constant eye height, so no having to fly the drone up and down, in order to maintain a constant 6 feet. Lastly, one can control the camera with the mouse whilst moving, so the whole things feels a bit more seamless (but then I suppose that can be done with a controller, as you mention). All of the above being said, I still use the drone cam myself and will continue to do so until the TAA / resolution issue is fixed. At the end of the day though, having more choice is never a bad thing : ) My pleasure and all the best!
Hi, It is nice to walk around. But i cannot toggle back to my cockpitview once i went for a 'walk'. Did you manage to do that. Currently in the trial. Would be nice to find a workaround for that. tia!
Hi Michel, Hmmm, that’s a bit strange. So far as I can remember, it should just be a simple toggle between the walkaround / cockpit. It may be that FSRealistic has changed the functionality / keybind since I showcased the feature. . . Have you checked to see whether any other keybind options are available? Without knowing all of the details, I’m afraid it’s a bit tricky to offer up any other ideas. Getting in touch with RKaps / FSRealistic might be the best way to go. Sorry I can’t be of more help on that one. I hope you manage to get things figured out! : )
Hi Matt, I'm afraid FSRealistic is only on the PC at the moment; it runs through an external application, which obviously wouldn't be workable on the Xbox. The good news though; Asobo have said they ultimately plan on bringing native first-person functionality into the sim, so it should be an option for everyone eventually : ) I hope that clarifies things. All the best!
Hello James, FSRealistic is a 3rd party program and can be purchased from the FSRealistic website (I seem to recall). Unfortunately, the program is only available to PC users though. I hope that helps. All the best! : )
Hi,
FSRealistic here.
Thank you for the review!
We offer 7 days free trial so you all can try the full functionality we offer before you decide to buy.
Enjoy!
My pleasure! Thank you for continuing to add functionality / immersion into MSFS! A very good point of the free trial - I have pinned the comment.
Cheers once again and all the best : )
Hey your product is awesome, I have one issue where the shadows are pretty grainy any fix?
$29.00 USD! honestly dude, I reckon you're asking a bit much, like, it's a outstanding mod and all, but $29.00! that is some insane pricing ... I could guarantee if you made it cheaper, you would make more $ from simply more sales, there is no way I could ever justify spending that much on such a mod, though for half this price, I wouldn't second guess it ... but for $29.00, yeah, no way in hell
There was a short interview sequence with the head of MSFS Jörg Neumann in the 40th anniversary birthday event VLOG from the channel AeroNewsGermany. In this interview Jörg said that being able to step out of the cockpit and walk around will be a part of future improvements to the living world of MSFS.
I somehow got the feeling that we'll see that implemented before we can walk around in our own spaceships in Elite:Dangerous :D
Also realistic check tasks should be possible for even more realism.
That's great to hear MrStyle! It seems like an obvious addition to the sim at this point. FSRealistic offers a nice stop-gap solution in the meantime I suppose : )
Cheers for the info. All the best!
Change the game name to Microsoft Life Simulator lol
@@zyisro Didn't see your comment, the wise ones think alike
That's really pretty neat, and incentivizes possibly getting some of the really detailed airports and aircraft just to explore. The game engine is definitely capable of good visuals at almost any scale. I doubt it will ever be a priority but it would be fun if they could run a smoothing routine on the roads so that ground vehicles can drive on them without bouncing around all over the geometry in places.
They could also do with improving the texture maps for asphalt and dirt, they are a little odd and Inorganic at present.
Yes, it's certainly a nice feature to have John and although some have been a bit cynical about being able to "walk" in a flight sim, I certainly think the world of MSFS is detailed enough, to warrant having the capability to do so. Why wouldn't one want to land at the pyramids and take a walk around etc etc?
For sure, there are details that could be better at ground level, the roads being one of them. I often wonder if we won't see Black Shark working its magic on the roads, railways etc at some point and eventually having train simulators, trucking simulators etc, all making their way into the MSFS world.
Cheers : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulationsI mean in the latest Train simulator you can hop out of the driver seat and walk around the train. I don't see why we can't do that in planes
Using the cockpit camera controls, it’s possible to move around many / most aircraft within the sim, Samuel : )
Well done for checking that the road was clear at 0:50!
Haha, I like to cover more than just flight simulation on this channel Rob; road safety is also a very important lesson to learn of course! : P
Cheers, all the best! : )
its a fukin game
?? Nobody is suggesting otherwise flyer boy. It was (I thought quite clearly) a joke. . .
@@flyerboy2594 Yes, that's right. MSFS is a game.
ok?@@flyerboy2594
That warbird you flew at the end was a great touch. Performance looks very close to the real world equivalent.
Had me dying! :D
Haha! I'm sending it over to the "Into the Blue Marketing Department" as we speak. I'm thinking a £75 RRP is about right - "A fully authentic recreation, tested by real world pilots" naturally XD
with first person the game would literally be the biggest open world game ever made
It does seem to be going that way somewhat Mezz Ops, yes. Haha.
Cheers, all the best! : )
Flight simulators have come such a long way in 40 years its actually incredible. 😁
I wonder what tech will be in 20 years or more, i read somewhere that now some company is trying to do similar things as blackshark AI where houses are generated based on satellite data, but instead of having low polly textures up close they are adding generated 3d objects based on that satellites data with higher polly count so houses and other things would look more realistic, like made objects with blender etc
Yet even in 2022 microsoft still hasnt come a long way with its flight model.
It takes me back to FS 1, I had a copy my neighbor gave me on a floppy disk and he ran it on my dual floppy PC with an amber screen. I had so much fun. in recent months I got into drone flying and watching all I can on drones, And just this pat October and in my YT feeds comes a channel from Airforceproud95, and I started watching those videos not just because they are funny but the fun they were having with MSFS and I noticed X SE, I bought that it works with my present system , Win 10. And also bought a Thrustmaster T Hotus X. I watch Airforceproud95 his video's like daily now. Addicted and helpful in some ways and learn.
I know the MSFS 2020 is one heck of a program. Now I debate myself. I would like to go Xbox s or X, another debate within myself, I have 509340493 laptops (exaggeration inserted there). So the xbox x perhaps I can manage but the program/game has came a long ways and I am having fun with the X steam SE version for the moment. Seems not too much there for multiplayer but its ok for now, I'm learning.
@@terrygreenman1540 I would not recommend buying on xbox if you want to fly something equal to study level aircraft, since xbox doesn't have these kind of planes, better stick to pc/laptop there is free great mod in the works by the community called a320nx if give it a try if you play on pc.
@@Krahamus Roger that.. For now as I said. I like my PC/stick/ and X SE for now. I am learning and just laughing at Airforceproud95's video's.
That Duxford scenery is gorgeous, I can’t believe how accurate it is - even the park! I’m just down the road from Duxford and have been a few times. He has been on the same springy-thing you hopped on at the end. 😂
Haha yeah, it's really very impressive, isn't it Eddie! I've been to Duxford a couple of times myself (it's been a while mind you) and I could certainly recognise plenty of the scenery (I could even spot a couple of new additions since I was last there haha). It would have been nice to have been able to walk around the American Hangar, but that's being INCREDIBY picky : P
Haha, I'm glad you enjoyed the ending! Cheers and all the best : )
FS Realistic is ok-ish, but we need a "master" button for "sound off" 'cause sound is mostly mono and does not run the master volume percentage of the main simulator. So the first thing I do when the sim starts i search the FSRealistic window to turn it off. And when i use replay soft, FSRealistic ruins the landing so become unusable (wiggles the wings in a very unnatural way) for movie making. I bought FSRealistic 'cause it feels ok when comes the camera shake part and they did very well on early simulators.
Personally, I like FSRealistic Zsolt - I feel it adds some of the features the sim is currently lacking but I agree, a "master" audio button would be great (and indeed more options for "master" controls in general).
All the best! : )
You talk exactly like a airliner captain welcoming the passengers onboard... it's the 'lift' at the end of you sentences.... love it!😁
He is a real A320 pilot if I remember correctly.
Haha, cheers Da Toner! Seems some people like it, some people can't stand it XD
Either way, it's not "put on". I don't know whether it's a habit I have picked up at work, but even if I wanted to change it, it's so engrained that I don't think I could haha.
I'm glad it works for you at any rate! Thanks and all the best : )
I will finally be able to walk around my town without leaving home
I love how you used the Super 80 for this walk around demo! First person and airstairs were made for each other!!!
Haha, cheers F247! I figured it was a good opportunity to "shill" my own livery XD
but for sure, the MD80 is a beautiful aircraft and the airstairs do look even more inviting in first person haha.
All the best : )
I don't understand why RUclips isn't flooded with drone cam exploration videos. I find it so fascinating exploring places close up. I know the details are not the same as real life but that's what I find so intriguing, it's fascinating to note the differences between MSFS and real life. I walked around the area I live in with the drone cam and DAMN I ended up going to sleep at like 5 in the morning I just couldn't put my controller down!
That's incredibly realistic, definitely needs to be a vanilla feature.
I certainly feel it adds something to the sim Felipe. I gather Asobo have said that they will introduce such a functionality at some point, but I suppose this offers a good stop-gap solution, for those that want it in the meantime.
Cheers and all the best!
The ending, brilliant 😁
Haha, thanks Peter! I'm glad you enjoyed it XD
I just installed it this morning. It’s pretty cool
Ah great, glad you've been enjoying it Maher! All the best : )
I saw one frame and knew it was Duxford. Love that place!
Finally! Man back in the late 70s when I got my first flight sim, I always thought that the only thing missing was a first person walking view. Why else would someone get a flight simulator? After so many years/decades restricted to the cockpit and flying my flight simulator, today I can sit in first class and look out the window and walk down the boarding gate. I don't even have to fly my flight simulator anymore.
You thought that in the 70's? Lol
You know you spend too much time on flight sim forums when you can read a post and think "man, that sounds just like a post Crabby would make" before you see the flight number.
@@jaymac7203 Wonder what flight sim he was playing in the 70's? Pong with wings.....???
@@jaymac7203 Hey, in the late 70s we all thought it would be cool to have a phone without a cord that you could carry around and talk to friends and family. Unfortunately, we got a portable camera that can sometimes make calls if we really need to speak to another person.
Right on. I still use FS 95 and 98. The add-ons now available make them surprisingly impressive, like Venezia 98 photo realistic scenery. There was a HUGE amount of add-ons made which are free now so if you want to go back and check it out do so.
There was a mod in FSX for walking and free camera also (Ezdok if I remember correctly), planes became huge, when you looked at them from this angle.
Indeed EJ205T. P3D actually had its own native avatar system (which I really feel MSFS ought to have - and I gather will be getting at a later date), FSX had Ezdok, FS2002 / FS2004 had a freeware alternative. The idea is nothing new, but it's great to finally see such an option in MSFS.
As you say, viewed from the ground, you really get an appreciation for the size of some of these aircraft. I remember standing below a (real) 777 as a kid and being in awe at the size of the thing - it was unimaginable that it might be able to fly haha!
All the best : )
Your voice overs sound like a mid flight PA from the flight deck. Please never change. Thanks for the great content.
Haha, well thanks very much David. The “PA effect” isn’t intentional on my part, so I’m not sure I could change things even if I wanted to XD
My pleasure on the videos, I’m glad you’re enjoying the content! All the best : )
Finally. A proper walkaround inspection of your aircraft. Now they need good study level cessnas and such so we can remove the wheel chocks and pitot tube cover. And being able to hook up a pulley to push our aircraft around would be nice. I have a cessna skyhawk for xplane that allows all of this already and i always wanted it for every plane.
Indeed CodeRed; a nice functionality to have, now we just need A2A haha!
I gather you're referring to the Airfoil Labs C172? I haven't tried the addon myself, but I hear excellent things. I know that Airfoil did release an aircraft for MSFS (nothing spectacular mind you), so hopefully they were testing the waters there, for planned future releases in the sim.
Cheers! : )
They do have a default walk around, its called drone cam. What MSFS should have already is a reliable default replay system similar to to FSX and flybye view too.
they have the replay systems now, it's in experimental options, icon on the toolbar
@@davidrenton that replay system they have now is pure rubbish and nothing like in FSX or even better X-Plane which is the best. Those replays automatically recorded flights no manual start and stop nonsense where you have to open up menus during live flights like in MSFS, just annoying.
For sure you can use drone cam FSX legend, but I think both solutions have their own strengths and weaknesses.
An improved replay system would certainly be most welcome also, but that's Asobo's department and this is of course a 3rd party addon (so I don't see a conflict of interest).
All the best! : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations Ah Phooey I want my flybye cam view back and a replay similar to X-Plane. I like to watch my plane in action not sitting still at a gate.
Interesting concept, this is what the future of flight sims in 10-20 years will be
I'd like to walk through the halls and offices of the airports, maybe for a third party addon to get my flightplan or to accept missions. In smaller airfields to pick up maintenance material for the small private plane.
Indeed Davide. Although if this is the future, I guess we're already there? XD
All the best!
I flew here a few months ago and walked through that security gate, VERY realistic
Haha, indeed Dan, the scenery is very well done! It's been a few years since I've been to Duxford, but I was certainly able to recognise a lot of what I could see in the sim.
Flying out of Duxford eh? Anything exciting? ; )
Cheers and all the best!
@@IntotheBlueSimulations Sadly not, in the 152 getting my hour building in. My friend lives literally right across the road from Duxford so when I found out the museum was closed on the day I visited, I nipped across the road to his for a cuppa!
Ah well I’ve no doubt any Spitfire pilots were looking most enviously at your 152! : P
Sounds like a cracking day out to be fair! Cheers : )
I love bush flying and checking out scenic areas. Now that there's a walking mod I'm in. I'm gonna be able to explore like I really want to!
Hi Mr PJ,
Yes, some people have asked; "why would I want to walk in a flight sim", but to me the answer seems obvious haha. MSFS is the first flight simulator we've had, where the world is genuinely worth exploring. Why wouldn't you want to land at the pyramids and check them out, head off on foot to find those elephants etc etc ; )
Have fun and all the best! : )
Is this guy an actual pilot?! Mans got that flight deck vocab down to an absolute tee! I feel every sentence has me braced for takeoff!
Haha, well I am J May, although I don’t talk like that intentionally during my videos (I guess it’s just a habit that’s stuck) XD
Cheers, all the best! : )
I can't wait for the day we get to walk around the inside of the aircraft and airports.
Hi Shane,
You can do that to some degree with this addon. The camera height can be scrolled up and down using the mouse wheel, so you can also walk around the aircraft cabin, terminal buildings (if the scenery has them modelled) etc.
I hope that clarifies things a little. All the best : )
When you do a walkaround mod video and literally stand motionless for 3 minutes
Haha. Well it was a 9 minute video AF, so 2/3rds of the content were spent “walking”. Of the 3 minutes you mention, > 2 minutes was spent looking at / talking about the app GUI. Less than 1 minute of “filler” - tolerable I would have thought?
All the best
@@IntotheBlueSimulations lol... I plan on using this for a pretty sophisticated "waiting in a spot" simulator.
Seriously, though, I use biking sims (Zwift, RGT) for my stationary bike w/ Bluetooth. If there were a way to get "clear" roads (likely by turning off photogrammetry) and a way to get bluetooth input for a bike, it would be amazing.
Make MSFS as in "GTA" you drive from your house, go to the airport, fly your plane, landing, take your car for a ride, going to a restaurant for some dinner, walking in the town, going back again :) Or they could make the new GTA, compatible with MSFS :)
Only I have a problem with the cursor visible in first person mode?
Hi Crisko,
No, that is quite normal. I had recording of the mouse cursor turned off at the time - I was seeing the cursor on my screen also though.
I hope that clarifies things. All the best! : )
Another great video, thank you! I may just have to try fs realistic, have not yet had the pleasure. Thanks for showing its latest feature!
Cheers, Art! Don’t forget to try the free trial first - see what the product has to offer, before committing : )
Also, do bear in mind that MSFS 2024 may come with much of the same functionality (by default) so, FSRealistic *may* become redundant pretty soon (otherwise though, it’s a very nice addition to the sim!).
All the best for 2024!
I have this product but stopped using if for various reasons but this will give me reason to try it out again for this feature alone. Thank you for this preview ITBS your channel is always top class.
Hi Snowy,
Yeah, I know FSRealistic isn't everyone's cup of tea (though personally I very much like it). I'd imagine a lot more people will be considering giving the program a go now. The first-person implementation is still pretty "rough and ready" at the moment, but it shows a lot of promise, if FSR can get a few things fixed up.
My pleasure on the preview! Many thanks for the kind words : )
Yeah was waiting for that, got the email yesterday, & was trying it out in VR.. yup some bugs I noticed… but it’s pretty cool to walk about in the sim long overdue hats off to yah FS Realistic thx
Many thanks !
@@fsrealistic7709 no need to thank me been wanting fps in this sim from get go… well done u guys, would be nice to have a avatar Body in fps but with the option for VR users.. like Hype Performance Group they are the only company that gets VR Truly they have a avatar in the chopper… who’s head disappear’s when in VR just like Elite Dangerous but when looking at the avatar from the outside his head is there…
This is great for VR users…
The best I’ve seen in a game for VR Fps.. is NMS… brilliantly done… amazing…
What u have done here is great.. the only thing I would say is when u press the button for outside have them spawn just outside the door of that aircraft if possible instead of away looking at it… I know it’s work in progress but these tweaks need to be done right…
An option to crouch would be cool,
Plus as the chap said no sounds of the aircraft cockpit when ur moving about outside… keep up the great work… ps can u all fix the VR issue when in a heli, when u increase lift ur head ends up on ur lap… not good ;)
Yeah, it's a pretty cool functionality, isn't it Dempster and as you say, about time we had such an option in MSFS! Hopefully a few of the issues will be sorted (I'm sure these sorts of things aren't easy) but as you say, hats off to FSRealistic!
Cheers : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations yup a nice addon & what’s good about it it’s in Beta… it can only get better
@@fsrealistic7709 what I would like to see is to be able to walk about on aerosofts… North Sea Addon… but we always end up falling on the sea.. & can’t climb high enough to reach the platform:/
Microsoft is about to make a 1:1 Earth 😂
Very cool.
Can you enter the aircraft and walk thru them?
Perhaps the avatar could have options of pilots uniforms/flight suits etc?
The avatar should definitely be able to have carnal pleasures with flight attendants - then the Sim should be called MSFS 2020 XXX.
No. Just tried and you walk thru the stairs.
@@PBW891 You can however scroll the mouse wheel to 'fly' up the stairs. Not totally immersive but then you can walk through the cabin quite normally.
Hello Steve,
As BOFS points out, you can't "walk" up the airstairs etc, but you can slew the camera up and down to a desired height, so you can walk through the cabin, terminal and so on. Avatars can indeed be changed, based on the default Asobo options but again, visual articulation is beyond "rough and ready" at the moment.
I hope that helps. All the best! : )
Thanks for offering up the helps BOFS, much appreciated! : )
Great to see the British Midland livery . I worked for them at EMA airport back in the late 80s
I'm glad you enjoyed the livery CTC! There are a number of BM liveries now available over on Flightsim.to (with more to come), if you're interested.
If you were working up at EMA with Midland, back in the 80's, we quite possibly know one or two people in common : )
Cheers and all the best!
@@IntotheBlueSimulations hi. That's Possible. I was at British Midland cargo department in 89 till it closed. I'm still at Ema working on the ramp for DHL. Been with them 28 years and on the airport 37 years. Started with GT air services.
Duxford looks great. If there’s a model for it, the replica spitfire is a mkia not a mkix irl
Doesn't it Adam! ChikoMick (the developer) did a cracking job with with scenery. I presume he went with the MK IX because it's a more readily available asset, but I could be wrong. . .
Cheers, all the best! : )
Thats awesome. Like i always say, this game has HUGE and endless possibilities to grow even more. Main focus on simming of course, but for casuals bringing things like that wouldnt be bad. I hope for Microsoft that they see all of this.
More costumers, more money for developing other things too in this game
Third party developers can focus on good planes with rich system depths and Asobo could expand the possibilities of the "plattform" MSFS so that other developers can make more versatile addons for logistics, trading, touristics, things we can't even imagine yet from the standpoint of a "mere" flightsim.
Yeah, it's a pretty neat piece of functionality isn't it Michael. I very much agree; I certainly hope that MSFS will stay true to its roots, but this sim has a tonne of potential to expand upon what we have traditionally seen in a flight simulator (the sort of things BerZerk mentions, being an example). I think Microsoft / Asobo know that what they have created is pretty special and I'm sure they'll want to make the most use / money out of the software as they can haha.
Cheers, all the best! : )
Omg yessss plane spotting time.
Hope this comes to all platforms some day
Hopefully Goku! : )
It would be awesome if cars could also somehow be implemented, they already made a yacht.
There are a couple of cars freely available over on Flightsim.to Repvoid. They drive like shopping trolley’s haha, but I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before someone models a vehicle with more detailed physics. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if MSFS doesn’t eventually become a bit of an “everything simulator”.
Cheers, all the best! : )
woooww feels like when I went to Le Bourget walking through the planes. Love it
The museum at Le Bourget is great also (I visited many years ago)! Cheers : )
Suggestion:
When you make one of these reviews, could you include a link to the item being reviewed? I think it would add much needed context and would allow people to research the wonderful reviews you do even further.
Hi Jim,
I’ve tended to shy away from doing that, primarily because if there are multiple retail options out there, I don’t want to fall into the trap of; “I bought the product from your link, but it’s cheaper over on XYZ” - I’d rather let the customer do their own research into purchasing options etc. That being said, where there is only one vendor selling a product (as I believe is the case with FSRealistic), perhaps I will look to start including a link.
Thanks for the suggestion and the kind words. Cheers! : )
My friend: My g is playing some fps game
Me: msfs
My friend: man you gotta be fucking kidding me XD
This game is only getting better and better. P3D and X-plane will soon be history 😄
Haha, MSFS certainly is going from strength-to-strength Mathias. I'd rather see P3D and X-Plane come and join the party, but sadly P3D looks a little lost at this point (unless Lockheed Martin pull something spectacular out of the bag) and X-Plane has a lot of catching up to do in some areas (though it's still the king of flight modelling for now).
All the best! : )
Hey man this is awesome! thanks for such great display
Thanks very much Carlos, I'm glad you enjoyed it! My absolute pleasure and all the best : )
Cant wait for able to parachuting, and also able pick up guns...
It will great to enter the cockpit and start a flight....
Microsoft Flight actually had this feature before, not sure why would they get rid of it
Indeed SB, as does P3D and even right back to FS2002, there were programs that allowed one to do the same thing. It’s seems such an obvious feature have in a sim like MSFS. I gather Asobo have said they will bring native first-person support to the sim eventually, but I’m rather surprised it wasn’t included from the very beginning.
Cheers, all the best! : )
Looks better and more enjoyable then the metaverse.
Haha! From what I hear, most things are XD
Always thought it would be neat to have some sort of walking aspect associated with aircraft selection
That could indeed be another neat feature to add Daniel. Apparently, Asobo will be adding this sort of functionality into the sim natively at some point. So who knows, maybe there will be some sort of virtual hangar etc : )
Cheers!
A flying and walking simulator!
This is now a reality in FS2024 and it looks amazing actually
for 80€ lol
Insane. Soon they will make it possible to go into a virtual duty free shop while simming and buy add-ons for MSFS just like the ability to refuel back in the early days. Actually that's a good idea as it will enable any simmer anywhere in the world to have equal access to all MSFS software.
Haha, well I suppose that’s sort of what the Marketplace is Simon (that + sneaking in the purchase options on the world map). It is a shame that the Marketplace purchase options are somewhat limited for the console, but until Asobo sort out the WASM coding issues (which should happen fairly soon), many addons simply aren’t comparable on the Xbox unfortunately.
All the best! : )
Brilliant 👏 as always 👍to one and only masterclass
Thanks very much, Jhon! Much appreciated and all the best to you : )
I wish they would make a simulator like flight but except you can drive anywhere
You can actually drive in MSFS Dr Funk; there are a couple of freeware cars available for the sim, though the driving physics are pretty awful haha. I’m sure we’ll see improved cars at a later date.
All the best : )
That is just so surreal. I really want that! It would be so much more immersive, having to actually walk from the terminal to the plane, on the tarmac, instead of using the jetway. (I still miss that.) Love the ending! 🤣
I gather that Asobo will ultimately be bringing the same functionality into the sim, so we should all be able enjoy pottering around eventually haha.
Ha! I'm glad you caught the ending XD
Many thanks once again!
I am having troubles with mine, it will never get passed the checking for update screen, tried uninstalling, troubleshoots, deleting the files like "Rolling cache, community" ECT but nothing 😔
Are you referring to the sim, or FSRealistic, Austin (sounds like the sim)? That could be an internet connectivity issue. I've had the same myself, albeit temporarily; my internet connection was fine, but the Microsoft servers were down or something. It may sound counterintuitive, but try logging off the internet and then staring the sim; that should skip straight through the "Checking for Update" screen and MSFS will load. Obviously you miss out on all of the photo imagery etc, so it's not a way you actually want to run the sim, but at least then you can confirm the issue (if indeed it is internet related).
I hope that proves to be of some use. All the best!
@@IntotheBlueSimulations well it's a new option to get it working and that's enough heh, thank you very much ❤️
You’re most welcome Austin! Best of luck : )
What about boarding the aircraft? What's this function good for if you can't board the aircraft, shut the door, sit down, and fly away? 🙃
Hello Christopher,
Your avatar won’t be able to climb stairs etc per se, but you can slew the camera up and down using the mouse wheel and effectively walk around at whichever height you like (including floor level of the cabin, terminal etc). Whether or not you can shut the door etc, I suppose would depend on the specific addon.
I hope that clarifies things. All the best! : )
Great presentation. Thanks
Thanks very much Jake, I’m glad you found it useful! My pleasure and all the best : )
Thanks for heads up - instant download....
My pleasure øystein! I hope you're getting some good use out of it : )
Can you go aboard aircraft in the walk-around-first-person mode?
Somewhat Thomas. You can’t “walk” up stairs etc per se (that is to say that your avatar won’t do it automatically), but you can slew the camera up and down (using the mouse wheel) to any height you like, so you can walk around the aircraft, terminal etc.
I hope that clarifies things. All the best! : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations Ah, ok. Makes sense, now. Thanks.
You’re most welcome! : )
ending was proper funny. :)
Haha, cheers Simon! Glad you enjoyed it ; )
I'll be impressed if they give a driving mode. To be able to drive anywhere in the world would be absolutely amazing.
There are already a couple of freeware cars available for MSFS JL. They drive like absolute shopping trolleys haha, but I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before we see a vehicle with more accurate physics (indeed it would be a brilliant thing to have in the sim).
All the best : )
that was neat
Cheers Shawn, glad you enjoyed it! ; )
All the best!
Great, now we need this in Eurotruck Simulator lol
Does Eurotruck not have such a feature Mark? That is surprising (it would seem almost a necessity in such a sim)! I am forever meaning to give Eurotruck a go, but never get around to it ha. Then again, I'm probably safer sticking with aeroplanes anyway haha.
All the best : )
How do I disable the mouse pointer when walking around? When capturing video, it's very annoying for the pointer to appear...
Hi Hani,
The mouse pointer can’t be disabled within FS Realistic itself. I used the following file in order record without the mouse pointer; unfortunately it has to be installed / uninstalled each time you want to make the change (so it’s a bit inconvenient). I’m not sure whether this will work with non-NVIDIA cards:
nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4592/~/how-to-hide-your-mouse-cursor-in-geforce-experience-share-video-recordings
I hope that helps. All the best! : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations I get bad textures on walk around. Audio is more or less non existent. And when using fenix on walk around I get a black cockpit. Any fixes ?
Excellent! I can now walk around London photogrammetry in MSFS and pretend there has been a nuclear holocaust.
Haha!! Hey, from what I hear, that will still be more entertaining than the Metaverse XD
When flying a flight sim isn’t enough. XD
Haha, exactly Brandon! : P
Nevermind FSR ............. I want to fly that Trident & VC10 🛫
Me too Jumpjet! I'll take the BAC1-11 whilst we're there as well! The David Maltby trifecta haha (I don't know how long you've been simming, that reference may make no sense ha).
All the best : )
I live close to Duxford, been there many times, weird seeing it in MSFS
The dev did an amazing job at recreating the scenery, didn't he! I've been to Duxford a couple of times myself; long enough ago that I'd forgotten much of it, so it was rather surreal that the scenery was detailed enough to bring back some memories haha. Quite impressive for a flight simulator!
Cheers EE, all the best : )
I have the up to date FS Realistic. I've got the Duxford Scenery with the Air show v3. with the spitfire. I have FS Realistic open and it has recognised the flight.( So i have selected and started a flight as the FS realistic requests). I go to first person view. I have copied your settings. I have pressed the end button. I cant get out of the aircraft view. Even in the external view. My view is not autonomous so i can explore Duxford. I cannot work out what i am not doing.
What a nice video! Thank you. Do you know if FSRealistic will work in an Xbox series X?
Thanks very much Rubens. My pleasure and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I'm afraid not. FSRealistic runs through an external application, which obviously wouldn't be workable on the Xbox. The good news though; Asobo have said they ultimately plan on brining native first-person functionality into the sim, so it should be an option for everyone eventually : )
I hope that clarifies things. All the best!
One day bing maps will be so detailed that we could essentially turn the simulator into something like GTA. It will probably happen with the help of AI and crowdsourcing of 3d-scans from drones/smartphones/cars.
I think it will go that way eventually Jim. In fact, another comment on this video alluded to the fact that Black Shark AI, is looking to do the same thing with buildings as it has done with other aspects of the sim (ie analyse a building and then add appropriate texturing, such that it would look far more detailed).
I'm not sure exactly what the future holds, but no doubt we'll be looking back on MSFS in another 20 years, wondering how we all coped with such basic graphics etc XD
Cheers, all the best!
This is such a cool feature!
Isn't it! Just perfect for a spot of exploration, after one has landed their helicopter / balloon somewhere interesting! ; )
It would be so great with passengers carrier money vip suite to sleep in airports or in plane to skip the flight for far distances 🤕🤩
Amazing ending.😄
Haha, thanks very much Rui, I’m glad you enjoyed it! I like to leave a little “Easter egg” in at the end, from time to time ; )
Cheers and all the best!
How do you create your liveries. Looks awesome. Id like to learn how to do it so i can revive an Ecuatoriana de Aviaccion livery for my A310- 300. Cheers
I have a couple of other people who do them for me (on commission) Piloto haha. I’ve done a couple of basic liveries myself in the past and it is doable with a few basic pieces of software, but it certainly requires some skill / artistic leaning and quite a bit of time also (which I don’t really have - hence the commissions). If you don’t fancy getting stuck into it yourself, there is also a “requests” page over on Flightsim.to - that’s another option : )
I hope that helps a little. All the best!
Having been to duxford I can say it looks real as fuck
Haha, eloquently put EG! : P
but yes, I would have to agree XD
So why when walking around the fenix the nose is just black. How the hell do I fix that
I'm afraid you can't fix the issue Mark (though hopefully FSRealistic will at some point). The first-person mode does have a few issues, including black texturing on some addon aircraft (I did make mention of it during the video).
I hope that clarifies things a little. All the best!
I know there's lots online already, but @IntotheBlueSimulations would you possibly consider doing a tutorial flight or two in one of the study airliners that are around now? I like the way you explain things :D Great channel, keep up the good work.
Hi Sapfu,
Yes, I'm certainly considering it - quite possibly I'll do something with the 310. As you say, it's a somewhat "saturated" genre at this point haha, but I have a few ideas up my sleeve ; )
Thanks very much for the kind words, I'm really glad you're enjoying the content! Cheers and all the best : )
The walkaround mode doesn't zoom in I assume because it's meant to replicate a human walking around, and as I human, I am unable to zoom with my eyeballs. They're stuck at 55mm .
I understand what you're saying Bacteriod: It's not that I want a zoom function per se, but I feel that the default zoom level is a bit too "zoomed out", ie everything has a bit of a fisheye effect to it. Whether I'm correct in my estimation I don't know, but at least with a zoom slider, we can all set what feels about right to us.
Cheers, all the best!
Guys, you know how there’s dev mode? Well anything I do in there once I play in normal mode it will be gone till I want it to come back
Hmm, I don't really use dev mode myself Bra1ds, but I think that behaviour is normal? I don't think dev mode saves any changes you make etc - perhaps I'm wrong though. . .
Sorry I can't be of more help on that one. All the best!
okay but can we walk around new york?
So far as I’m aware, you can walk around wherever you like, MrK0per. It might take you a little while to get there though haha ; )
All the best
this is more metaverse as metaverse itself
Haha, indeed Erika. One cheap plugin and MSFS is already looking significantly better than the Metaverse XD
Would be great to use to get a group together and do air displays in turn
Haha, why not David! It's a shame that the avatars aren't visible in multiplayer (so far as I know), otherwise you could have your own virtual crowd ; )
All the best!
Can you use this to walk up the stairs and into the aircraft, ITB?
Somewhat Mark. You can’t “walk” up stairs etc per se (that is to say that your avatar won’t do it automatically), but you can slew the camera up and down (using the mouse wheel) to any height you like, so you can walk around the aircraft, terminal etc.
I hope that clarifies things. All the best! : )
I can't get it to work. I have it updated, have attempted to set a toggle button, but it never goes to first person.
Hmm, that’s strange AV8R. You aren’t the only person to mention having problems. . . I’m afraid I’m not really sure what the issue could be. You do have to be in the VC when activating first person mode (if I recall correctly) and perhaps it doesn’t work from custom views etc also. I’m afraid you’d probably have to head over to FSRealistic’s website / Discord etc for some firmer answers though.
Sorry I can’t be of more help on that one. All the best!
This is amazing, especially sitting and bouncing on the kiddie ride in the end. I don't suppose you're able to walk up the stairs into the plane?
Haha, cheers bwc! I'm glad you enjoyed the "study level" experience at the end XD
Your avatar won’t be able to climb stairs etc per se, but you can slew the camera up and down using the mouse wheel and effectively walk around at whichever height you like (including floor level of the cabin, terminal etc).
I hope that clarifies things. All the best! : )
1:28
HOLY F*CKING SH!T
This looks exactly like a photograph
Haha! It is indeed pretty amazing just how good MSFS can look under certain lighting / weather conditions!
Ha must watch til end of video. Too funny!!!!
Haha, cheers Piloto! Glad you enjoyed it XD
I like to leave a little Easter egg at the end occasionally, just for those who watched the whole thing ; )
Real world RPG coming in... Imagine an API to Farming Sim or something like this
Haha, indeed Lukas. I can actually see MSFS going that way in the long run potentially. Presumably with a bit of AI trickery here and there, it wouldn't be too hard to add proper roads, railways etc and make MSFS a bit of an "everything simulator". We'll see though. . .
Cheers, all the best! : )
why don't you have a link to where you find these items you discuss in your videos , quite incomplete site
Hi PaE,
Well for a few of reasons really: 1) It takes as much effort for me to add the link in, as it would for one to google the same information (simply googling the name of the product in the title, will undoubtedly lead the viewer to the relevant website(s). 2) I'm always happy to answer questions / comments if people do get stuck. 3) Often these addons are sold on multiple platforms and it's up to the viewer, not me, to choose which option is easiest / cheapest / preferable for them. 4) Some addons are sold exclusively through the Marketplace, in which case I can't link them at any rate.
If you look at the description for this video, I actually added in a link for both the scenery and the livery. Where I do think it may be genuinely trickier for the viewer to find something relevant, I try and remember to leave a link.
I hope that clarifies things. All the best
IF on top of this walkaround mode there was an option to pick up a 3d avatar AND could see other player avatars in multiplayer… we would kick Metaverse’s ass
Well, "technically" the avatar option is already included alu2387, though it's very crudely implemented currently. It would be great to see other players for sure. I gather Asobo will ultimately bring first-person functionality to the sim and I expect they will introduce a system along the lines you mention, when they do so.
From what I've heard, everything kicks Metaverse's ass XD
Cheers, all the best!
Is it coming to xbox?
I'm not 100% sure TLC, but since FSRealistic is a separate program, running in the background, I would imagine probably not. Asobo do intend to add native 1st person support to the sim at a later date though, so the Xbox will be covered with such a feature eventually : )
All the best!
Great overview, thanks for doing that. Don't really see what this adds though, as I currently use a joystick with twist axis in drone mode to achieve pretty much the same functionality (thumb buttons assigned to drone height and speed as well, so one-handed operation is very easy). Can definitely do without the motion sickness-inducing head bob. Just about the only pro would be the torch.
Cheers CD, my pleasure!
Haha, I knew this one wouldn't be to everyone's tastes. I think both options (drone or first person) have their strengths and weaknesses: The advantages of FSRealistic (to my mind at least): Firstly, the motion effects / sound effects - it does make it feel more like "walking" (but as you say, some people just find it annoying haha). Secondly, the camera can be moved at a more reasonable speed (the drone is a bit quick by default and even when tuned right back, it still feels a bit quick when "walking" in the cabin. Thirdly, this mode maintains a constant eye height, so no having to fly the drone up and down, in order to maintain a constant 6 feet. Lastly, one can control the camera with the mouse whilst moving, so the whole things feels a bit more seamless (but then I suppose that can be done with a controller, as you mention).
All of the above being said, I still use the drone cam myself and will continue to do so until the TAA / resolution issue is fixed. At the end of the day though, having more choice is never a bad thing : )
My pleasure and all the best!
I hope they implement shooting and battle royale for vatsim
Ha! I can only imagine what a melee that would be, given how nice we simmers all are to each other sometimes! XD
Hi, It is nice to walk around. But i cannot toggle back to my cockpitview once i went for a 'walk'. Did you manage to do that. Currently in the trial. Would be nice to find a workaround for that. tia!
Hi Michel,
Hmmm, that’s a bit strange. So far as I can remember, it should just be a simple toggle between the walkaround / cockpit. It may be that FSRealistic has changed the functionality / keybind since I showcased the feature. . . Have you checked to see whether any other keybind options are available? Without knowing all of the details, I’m afraid it’s a bit tricky to offer up any other ideas. Getting in touch with RKaps / FSRealistic might be the best way to go.
Sorry I can’t be of more help on that one. I hope you manage to get things figured out! : )
Will it come to consoles too?
Hi Matt,
I'm afraid FSRealistic is only on the PC at the moment; it runs through an external application, which obviously wouldn't be workable on the Xbox. The good news though; Asobo have said they ultimately plan on bringing native first-person functionality into the sim, so it should be an option for everyone eventually : )
I hope that clarifies things. All the best!
How do you get it is it a mod or incorperated straight into the base game?
Hello James,
FSRealistic is a 3rd party program and can be purchased from the FSRealistic website (I seem to recall). Unfortunately, the program is only available to PC users though.
I hope that helps. All the best! : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations Cool thanks for the help
You’re most welcome, James! Cheers : )
