Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Faces AI Challenges and Underestimated Demand
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 utilized machine learning and AI to create its detailed map data, a task that would have been impossible to complete manually. The development involved 800 people, with AI helping to generate terrain details by marking up 28,000 tiles representing Earth's landscapes. Despite concerns about AI leading to job losses, the project saw team growth. The game, released on November 19, faced initial server issues due to underestimated demand and is available on Xbox and PC, including Game Pass.
