I'd like to presume the legacy aerodynamics has tight integration with other legacy code under the hood, for example the coordinate system and related math. We know also know that the game includes an option to use legacy (FSX) aerodynamics (I wonder why, to support legacy content?). Would be fun if Asobo commented what is the oldest piece of code or comment in their codebase.

If you start with a small yacht and gradually upgrade it until you end up with a billionaires superyacht, is it still the same ship? If not, at what point did it change? I suppose this is a variation on the вЂњShip of ThesusвЂќ. IвЂ™m guessing that Asobo took more of an вЂњorgan transplantвЂќ approach than a wholesale start from fsx approach. And a new team picking up a large, old, code base is going to be paying substantial tax for a while. But while you can in theory end up with the same result as if you started with a clean sheet design, the reality is that the shape of the old engine will influence the new more than you might think. Evolving an existing code base has a lot of advantages and is a very attractive approach in most cases. вЂ‹And there's no reason they shouldn't have started with the same engine and rewritten it from there.

But it could also be вЂњgrafted onвЂќ to a new code base. Hell, modern day Source engine still has code that's almost unchanged from damn Quake of all things.ДЇrom what theyвЂ™ve said in interviews it isnвЂ™t entirely clear that they started with the fsx code base, although yes, clearly they used it, and at least parts of it have been carried over for 3rd party add-on backward compatibility reasons. There's basically no completely new from scratch engines being made now at the moment. One of the first leaks from the alpha that I read was someone talking about how they got an old FSX program to connect to the sim that let's you teleport your plane around by clicking on a globe.ДЄnd there's no reason they shouldn't have started with the same engine and rewritten it from there. They'e even included the original flight model as a 'legacy' option for people who want to do the bare minimum to port over some ancient plane with minimal work.ДЄddon developers have managed to get bare-bones versions of SimConnect, FSUIPC and other utilities running with a little tinkering. The file structure is also clearly just a rework of ESP, and there are a lot of variables and such that are identical to what they were in FSX. The ATC, for instance, is just the FSX ATC with some upgrades and new Azure generated synthetic voice. With that said, there is still a lot of good stuff that was just mostly reused with minor upgrades. They've stated in interviews that they started with the source code for FSX and basically went wild completely removing and replacing parts of the engine that just were unholy spaghetti code messes until they ended up with where they are. There is definitely a lot of FSX still left over. I am having trouble logging into the Insider Area on the Flight Simulator website. Will there be a console version? If so, when?
