Helicopters are planned for the first DLC. Every 2 to 3 months new stuff will be added. I would also like to see glide planes, hot air balloons, business jets, historic planes, more water planes (only the ICON A5 can land on water) and of course updates to the map.

Another reason why I don't think it will score in the high 80s is because expectations are set very high. Reading the Steam forums everyone expects their house to be there. However while the Gameshark AI is very impressive in creating 3D cities, it is limited by Bing map data which is not all that up to date and quite low res compared to google data, especially outside the USA. One streamer already said that his whole town was missing, disappeared under a 30 ft high forest.

I've been staying away from all the streams and videos. Kinda fed up with this generation where every little detail is already plastered over you tube before a game releases. But that certainly set expectations sky high when looking at the forums. It will be a great game, the best most expansive flight simulator yet no doubt. But not all there yet at release. It will depend on the reviewer whether they deduct points for the release version or add points for potential. The game will be supported for many years. (And probably ends up costing me an arm and a leg lol)

I haven't played a flight sim for ages and by that I mean 1990's so my question is will they have fire fighting planes and helicopters dlc i would be interested in a scenario were you fight fires on the map with smoke and other effects.

That would be a first for flight simulator. I think there were some rescue missions in FSX where you had to retrieve people of an oil platform in a helicopter. Maybe it was just a transport mission.


Who knows what Asabo is planning for later, this is the most current roadmap for now

However there are mods and 3rd party programs to add missions or turn the game into a freight simulator like ETS2. Many people on the forums are asking for missions so I'm sure (un)official DLCs will come out to add that kind of content. There was a show on tv a few years ago about delivering small airplanes to buyers far away. Long haul flights all across the world to remote locations, managing fuel efficiency and stops. That could be fun as well.
