A empresa Dovetail Games que adquiriu os direitos em 2014 (ver notícia) para distribuir o Microsoft Flight Simulator X no Steam, bem como desenvolver e publicar novos títulos de simuladores baseados na tecnologia de voo da Microsoft, vão lançar dois novos simuladores de voo em 2016.
O primeiro simulador tem previsão para sair em Abril 2016 e tem como título "Dovetail Games Flight School".
Flight School é projectado para ensinar aos novatos a experiência sobre como pilotar uma aeronave ligeira.
O segundo simulador virá na segunda metade do ano 2016 "Dovetail Games Flight Simulator".
O CEO diz que quer voltar a 2006 onde o Microsoft Flight Simulator X parou e restaurar a antiga glória do simulador de voo como um passatempo agradável e envolvente.
Dovetail Games Flight School e Dovetail Games Flight Simulator serão ambos disponíveis para PC.
"Paul Jackson, CEO at Dovetail Games added, “People have always dreamt of being able to fly and through Flight School we aim to satisfy that dream and give people the opportunity not only to learn to fly, but to really soar as they explore the world. Flight simulation has always been important in the world of gaming but it hasn’t kept up - the core experience hasn’t progressed since the launch of Microsoft’s Flight Simulator X back in 2006 and that means we’ve missed at least one or maybe even two generations of players who would have adored flight simming, but for whom it wasn’t appropriate. Our aim is to get back to that place, to restore the former glory of flight simulation as an enjoyable and engaging pastime. Consumers today expect a much slicker experience across all genres. They want simulations that are realistic but also accessible. They want to be led to a place where the focus can be on reaching great levels of accomplishment, rather than struggling to get to grips with the operational aspects. And that’s precisely what Flight School will deliver.”"
