Flight Simulator 2024

Crap, now I want to spend money I don't have to learn to fly.
 
Holy Moly this looks good :eek:

Best part is when it comes out it will drive MFS2020 price down from the current R999
 
It seems they will offer many more "gamified" scenarios in 2024. I guess this makes sense if they are targeting console players.
 
Given the support that 2020 has, and all the world updates that came with it, I am really surprised that they aren't just doing that instead of releasing a standalone new version. Seems really odd to me.

When I first watched the trailer I thought it was a big new update for 2020, coming in 2024.
 
This looks slightly better than Microsoft Flight Simulator 98 which was the last and only one I've ever tried to play. :p

The $120,000 Titan A900 crams 6TB of RAM into what's quite possibly the world's most powerful desktop PC - TechSpot​

The top-tier model includes a 256-core server processor

Titan Computers has unveiled its new A900 model, a powerhouse workstation for those seeking top-tier performance. Designed to tackle deep learning, AI, and other demanding workloads, this beast packs impressive specs into an understated gold-colored desktop PC chassis.

The centerpiece of the A900 is AMD's 4th gen Epyc Genoa processors. The base configuration features dual 64-core Epyc 9124 CPUs, giving you a total of 128 cores. If that's not enough, Titan offers an upgrade option to the 256-core variant of the same chip.

Naturally, with such a massive core count, you'll need plenty of high-speed memory. The A900 comes standard with 64GB of DDR5 ECC RAM, but can be expanded to a staggering 6TB.

Genoa CPUs are based on AMD's Zen 4 architecture, the same technology found in the Ryzen 7000 series. When they launched in late 2022, they delivered improvements in IPC, clock speeds, and core counts. They also introduced new features, connectivity, and resources that required a new socket, SP5.

However, the lineup has since been superseded by the Epyc 9005 "Turin" processors, which debuted earlier this month, offering up to 192 Zen 5c cores.

As for other specs, the base A900 includes a 1TB NVMe SSD for storage alongside a 4TB enterprise HDD. Storage can be expanded significantly, with options for 8TB SSDs and 20TB HDDs. Graphics are powered by an Nvidia Quadro T400, though higher-end professional GPUs, including liquid-cooled models, are available. Cooling is handled by dual SilverStone CPU coolers and five high-performance fans.

Expansion is also well-supported, featuring dual RJ45 10GbE Ethernet ports, four USB ports, a front-facing USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C port, as well as WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity. The anodized aluminum and steel Chariot mid-tower chassis provides a clean, sturdy housing for all the high-end components inside.

So, how much will this extreme performance cost you? The base model, equipped with 128 cores and 64GB of memory, starts at $7,975. But if you opt for the fully-loaded version with 256 cores, 6TB of RAM, and additional upgrades, you'll be looking at a jaw-dropping price of $120,000.

And that doesn't even include the required copy of Windows 11 Pro you'll need for this powerhouse setup.

 
Anyone else started the career mode in this game?

So far slightly buggy but enjoying it.
