Sądząc z opisu projekt TestPilot to mglista przyszłość symulacji lotniczych, ale warto o tym wspomnieć w kontekście zastanawiania się nad możliwym następcą FSXa. Zapowiedzi, w odniesieniu do możliwości i funkcjonalności brzmią bardzo obiecująco, niestety pewnie wszystko rozbije się o niedostateczną ilość środków na finansowanie prac nad dalszym rozwojem projektu.
"TestPilot is designed to load all FSX scenery, aircraft, vehicles, AI, and add-ons, to become the “FSvNext" that Microsoft abandoned. As long as the user has a legal licensed copy of FSX on his machine, and of the add-ons and sceneries, TestPilot will load them instead of FSX.
TestPilot replaces the FSX core engine DLL's with it's own implementations, thereby taking full advantage of modern multicore cpus, and gpus, which FSX is incapable of. Because TestPilot completely replaces the core engine of FSX, limitations in the Flight Dynamics Engine are also eliminated providing accuracy superior to either Microsoft Flight or X-Plane 10, utilizing the very same advanced Aerodynamic Modeling technology that the aircraft manufacturers use. TestPilot provides a full implementation of FSX's SimConnect, providing the ability to optimize performance and distribute execution of add-ons to other computers on the network."Więcej na ten temat:
