it’s no secret, MT is in Testing, and Vulkan has long been in development.
the NOR Software, even using UE5.1 is still Pre-Alpha, There’s Barely any substance to the environment, Objects, AI or Weather Wise.
It’ll be nice that the militaries don’t have to run Prepar3d Pro lol
It seems that NOR is showing it’s simulator at a booth at The I/ITSEC Conference in Orlando this week.
At least one of The DCS Community got a chance to use it and was"Mind Blown" by it.
Hopefully He will do a video/review with his thoughts on it.
I was supposed to go to ITSEC this year as well, but had a scheduling conflict.
We’re on the hunt for a wraparound display.
But yes, it’ll be interesting to see what becomes of this technology.
No, I know! I just love the way you expressed yourself on the matter. 
Maybe not Meta, but another jet sim maker wouldn’t be bad for our hobby.
This.
Just to make it clear, I’m not throwing shade on the “nor platform” itself,
But rather the blind faith that it’s going to do something it will never do, and the blind faith users get from a 2 minute trailer.
The NOR Platform will be good, but it will have no effect on DCS, just like P3D had no Effect on DCS.
There’s another “Full Fidelity” sim in development that’s throwing out flashy trailers… but we’ve already proven it to be vaporware / scam.
We also have BMS, going VR is a big step for them.
I really don’t feel anyone here in the forum feels this way…We’ve all seen the trailer a year ago and know it’s a Military Training Simulator.
But it is Combat Sim News…and many including myself find it interesting and want to know more.I seriously doubt anyone here really thinks it will be competition for DCS now or in the near future.
This topic was brought on by the above video claiming just that, lol…
It goes back to what EightBall said. I’m getting the feeling that the mature simmers have reached their limit with ED and the lack of progress towards optimizations. Granted I too have heard MT and Vulkan are in advanced testing, the latest VR set backs have strained relations.
So the hopes of any competition on a modern engine, is grasped at. Sadly, it wont be from Metrea.
ED just dropped some info on MT…
2023…
Did you expect 2022…? 
When it was supposed to be released in 2021, I guess I did. Oh well
Tricker Posted a Video with His Thoughts after actually using The NOR Simulation Software at I/ITSEC in Orlando this Week
Also Lockheed Martin announced they are leaving ESP for UE 5.1 as well,
Maybe related to NOR, as some content they shared seemed to look a lot like NOR Content.
As Stated, NOR is the Entire Platform (Software, Hardware, Control Interfaces etc).
His ‘thoughts’ would have carried a lot more weight with me if I knew the hardware specs of the system that had him “blown away”… just sayin.
All I heard, from the video, was 4090 GPU. I’m sure the rest was as good as you can get today: top of the line CPU, 64G memory (at least), all of it fast, etc. Figure they’re showing it off so why not. Better part of $10K for the entire kit I’m sure including the Varjeo VR (perhaps the ‘pro’ version) - no idea what that costs.
