What is possible with current engine/platform?
-
I look at BMS and all the capabilities it has, and wonder how much room does this sim have to grow? Are we maxing out the potential or are we just now scratching the surface? For example, is it even possible with this engine/platform to visually get to the level of MSFS or DCS? Is it just a matter of putting in the massive amount of hours, or are there limitations on what is possible? In any case, hats off to the BMS team. What an achievement so far. Great job!

Well it depends on which sim aspect you’re looking at. In terms of GFX i think BMS 4.35 is a prelude to next chapter as base was rewritten to new API (DX11), so next iterations are gonna utilize new goodies brought by this change.
Development of other aircrafts, I guess doable to some extent, but first all the avionics/systems have to be restructured first allowing to keep aircraft specific things separate.
Other things like simulating naval warfare or non aircraft vehicles might be hard.
On the other hand with some skill infinite time and determination nothing is impossible.
