Future in Cloud Computing?

Interesting thread and reply by Mr. Maddox.

It would be great to one day have the complexities of a single aircraft simulator combined with the complexities BOB is trying to achieve. I wonder if this could be done by the use of cloud computing, where all complex computations would be done at a central computer farm, and video, audio and effects be delivered to the users via very fast connection, similar to today's HD streaming movies.

Possible?

Something like OnLive? In a combat sim? God I hope not. While it is beneficial for some games but for complex flight sims and especially for online game play where low pings are a must I find this anything but useful.

Maybe for FSX. ;)

Im impressed.....

watch the vidio, its worth it...

Their work is well known and respected...if they were to get involved with SOW, I think we would all benefit on the immersion factor, man and cockpit.:grin:

I notice them clicking away madly on the prime pump. i wonder if over-priming can cause a stack fire :D

One area I always thought SoW could exploit is the vintage civil aircraft market that FSX users have traditionally enjoyed. Imagine flying a Dragon Rapide from Croydon to Dover in Oleg's Britain. :)

I kind of hope it doesn't go that way. It would be both annoying to me as a player as well as a potential mission or online scenario builder where a portion of my possible audience was restricted because they haven't subscribed to the micro transaction model. It gets worse when you're trying to be competitive and the top level aircraft are not available unless more money is paid. I'd rather pay $30 for the latest update and get a dozen aircraft than $5 for one.

May not make sense except when I factor in that every time I see this model used ... it always costs more to own everything.

Final Score...

Ltbear, interesting
LukeFF, not:rolleyes:

fireflyer "the jaffa cake" contribution to this forum so far = zero
LukeFF's contribution to il2 and this forum = high

i rest my case

Shhhhhhhhhh little boy.

you should stick to the den of thieves and vandals where you usually hang out with the rest of the zit faced teens

the attempt here (and most normal flightsim forums) is to have meaningfull exchanges of factual information, something obviously way over your head
