Microsoft Flight Simulator – 40. Yıl Dönümü Güncellemesi Çıktı! (Sim Update 11)

Microsoft Flight Simulator‘ın 40. Yıl Dönümü güncellemesi ile çok beklenen helikopterler ve planörler ile birlikte yepyeni uçaklar ücretsiz eklendi. Microsoft ve Asobo serinn 40. yılını bu harika güncelleme ile kutluyor. iniBuilds tarafından geliştirilen Airbus A310-300 yolcu uçağı gibi detaylı bir eklentiyi artık simülatörün içerisinde bulabiliyorsunuz. Helikopterler ve planörler için yapılan uçuş modeli çalışmaları ile yeni bir seviyeye geçiliyor. Termallar, updraft, downdraft gibi teknik ayrıntılar CFD için getiriliyor. Sim Update 11‘de ciddi performans ve optimizasyon çalışmaları da bulunuyor. Nvidia DLSS 3.0, AMD FSR 2 gibi destekler dahil ediliyor. Nvidia Reflex entegrasyonu yanı sıra DLSS 2.0 için yeni Super Resolution: Auto ve DLAA modları eklendi. DirectX 12 için kullanılan VRAM’i sınırlamak için yeni bellek birleştirme sistemi uygulanmış. DX12 çalışmaları devam edecek.

 

Yukarıdaki görüntüde 40. yıl sürümünde eklenen uçakları görebilirsiniz. Standart sürüme eklendikleri için güncellemede yükleniyorlar. Deluxe veya Premium Deluxe satın almasanız da yeni uçaklara veya helikopterlere erişebiliyorsunuz.

2006 sürümünde olan helikopterler ve planörlerin(glider) dahil edilmesi dışında bugüne kadar Microsoft Flight Simulator serilerinde yer alan görevler, aktiviteler, uçuşlar ve hava meydanları da ekleniyor. Chicago’daki Meigs Field Havaalanı da eklenen klasik meydanlar arasında bulunuyor. Güncellemede amaç havacılık tarihini kutlamak olduğu için gelen içerikler de bir bakımdan uçuş dinamiklerini iyileştiriyor ve simülasyonda önemli teknik gelişmeler sunuyor.  40. yıla yakışır derecede ayrıntılı ve topluluğu memnun eden bir güncelleme oldu.

Güncelleme ile eklenenler;

• 1 true-to-life Airbus A310 airliner uçak (iniBuilds)
• 2 helikopter ve 14 heliport
• 2 planör(glider) ve 15 planör havaalanı(glider airports)
• Hughes H-4 Hercules (nam-ı diğer Spruce Goose) ile 7 ünlü tarihsel hava aracı
• 4 klasik ticari havalimanı
• Daha önceki serilerde yer alan 24 klasik görev

 

Planörler için 7 bölümlük harika bir eğitim serisi var. Helikopterler ve planörler için yapılan çalışmalar MSFS’in ilk çıkış sürümünden bugünlere gelişimize bakılacak olursak başlangıç için yeterli olmuş. Yepyeni kapıların aralandığı bu güncellemeden sonra helikopterler, planörler ve simülatörün diğer taraflarında iyileştirmeler görebileceğiz. Planörler ile uçarken termallere ihtiyacınız olduğu için onları görüntüleyebileceğiniz bir seçenek hava durumu panelinde yerleştirilmiş. Ayrıca hava meydanlarından uçakla çekilerek veya vinç sistemi ile planörünüzü havalandırabilirsiniz. Assistance Options yani yardımcı seçenekler kısmında Piloting bölümünde helikoptleri tam anlamıyla kullanabilmek için collective veya rudder için daha kolay uçurulmasını sağlayan seçenekleri kapatabilirsiniz.
