It will have better physics and a richer simulation
“We polled a bunch of things, and the one thing from all [different kinds of player] was that people wanted more stuff to do. We said, ‘okay, cool, fair enough, let’s go make things like that.’ But we are not a game,” said Neumann. “So we’re not making game-y type missions at all. What we’re doing is accurate aviation activities. We’re working with lots of organisations across the planet that do these things. That do firefighting, that do search and rescue.”
All of these changes are backwards compatible, too, meaning previously created community content should continue to work as before, whether the creator upgrades it to the new system or not.
Finally, for those players - like me, probably - who remain committed to aerial tourism around Flight Sim’s recreation of Earth, there will be a more dynamic world to explore. That includes the Aurora Borealis, more animal herds, worldwide live ship traffic, and “improved” vehicle traffic.
