May 11th, 2015 – A new flight simulator community website
has been completed and is now officially open...
www.nexgenflightsim.com
The website, dubbed “the Next Generation Flight Simulator
SIM-Posium opens its doors to all flight simulator enthusiasts and the general
public for the purpose of discussing the future of consumer oriented flight
simulation and the probability of creating a community driven next generation flight
simulator.
It is the goal of the SIM-Posium to move the community
towards establishing the criteria of a next generation flight simulator, the
discovery of an appropriate 3D platform for development, the gathering of
talented individuals whose expertise (whether through education or experience)
can be utilized for the creation and development of a next generation flight
simulator, as well as establishing the general consensus of the community
towards using a CrowdFunding Campaign for the purposes of raising the necessary
funds.
The use of traditional forum settings as well as member
submitted articles, comments, surveys, polls, voting and other website features
will be used to obtain a consensus as to
the overall direction that should be taken when considering the development of
a next generation flight simulator.
In addition members will have access to tools providing the
ability to collaborate on a Group / Team basis.
The NGFS SIM-Posium organizer, Stephen Borick - a long time
flight simulator enthusiast - has set a time frame for the SIM-Posium as a
minimal period of six months, which he hopes will be sufficient time to
determine the "WILL" of the flight simulator community and their
commitment towards achieving the goal of creating a next generation flight
simulator.
Everyone is invited to participate in this 1st online Next
Generation Flight Simulator SIM-Posium. Your input will be invaluable.
