It’s the first time I’ve read about Project Metal in another post. And how it can bring clouds, etc. will be pretty neat. Let’s hope it’s worth the wait–and that it will be released in the first place.

Yeah- no.
Project Metal is not a one time upstate. It is rewriting graphics.

Yeah opens up more stuff that will be possible I guess. Knowing IF now I don’t think it will disappoint. But yeah I hope we’re waiting for something.

New graphics engine probably coming soon as well. But I’m curious as to what the graphics engine would change… the scenery? The atmosphere? Not sure, hope to get an update on that soon lol

fyi, for metal, there is this topic, as follows, and the two additional topics below (there was an overlapping question or two, seemed to be asked in one, but perhaps answered in another):

will the new graphic engine allow to simulate city lights?

I would assume possibly. But city lights is something that would take so much optimizing. Probably a feature that would take years to perfect for a release

Yeah it’s hard to imagine IF with city lights/other lightings/weather/clouds, etc.
IF just looks so neat, crisp, and clean without them. I can’t imagine it with them.
And I imagine it’s going to be tricky to maintain that neat/clean/crisp look with clouds/weather and all the lightings. Hopefully they can come up with something tho!

Is there any news expected by the end of the year from the developers?

Silence, literally there’s nothing that the devs shared atm.
Patience is the key.
We have already seen some of the effects of project metal:
3D Airports
Airport Lights
Better performance across the board
Cirrus Clouds
Synchronized GSE (just implemented)
Animated Jetways
… etc the list continues
As for the future, we’ll have to wait and see.

as far as i know, project metal is just a change of the game engine, which is like where you build the games. This will not make the game a lot different, it will just make possible and easier graphical improvements
We’ll see soon when we get there :)
Things like they haven’t been added for years, like the bright landing lights on the ground, the taxi lights, they are supposed to add them with the next update. It doesn’t matter. What matters is adding them in 2025. It seems that the percentage of people is increasing. The other things, if they delay them a little, it’s not a problem. They add many others. The ground equipment brings them a lot of money. If they don’t add the lighting, it seems to be declining from 2025.

Well….I’ll tell you what the great IFAET Team told me. JUST FORGET ABOUT IT. Certain things aren’t on their radar to be done anytime soon.
The usual excuses will be thrown at you. So better you don’t ask
Like what is not available from the plans you can say
I remember one of them saying the game would be totally different by the end of 2024. doesnt seem to be that case though

I heard a lot about the changes at the end of 2024. I don’t think the changes will happen. They will release the update. Their new plane. The last thing they said was that the resources are not enough. We need proof from the developers that there is a change. I am a fan of infinite flight.

RFS, with worse graphics but immersion refers to is light years away. I don’t understand the problems developers have in implementing all those functions.
