Really hyped for this.

Just a shame it's come out in the same year as Flight Sim. Not a HOTAS to be found at a reasonable price anywhere.

Scored a cheap flight stick for a tenner (inc postage) from that big second-hand junk shop.
Nothing fancy; a MadCatz V.1 B-Grade. But it'll do. Can't wait for my VR headset to arrive now. Hearing really good things about this game in VR.

I was so close to buying this until I watched the actual gameplay footage :( ... Put this back to back with Star Wars Battlefront 2 and it looks dated, dare I say dull!

I'll wait until we get some fair reviews of it's multiplayer gameplay.

Just remember the base Fortnite got poor reviews when it first released but the multiplayer turned out to be a hit.
I'm downloading Squadrons now. Just hope it works with my trusty Microsoft Sidewinder FF2 flight stick.

Played the first couple of missions and really like it!

The mouse sensitivity was way off for me so had to reduce it down to 15 - no chance in a dogfight on the standard settings. I guess an XBOX controller would be better for a game like this, rather than M/KB?

Running 160+ FPS for me on a 2070S on Acer X34P UW 1440p

It must be awesome in VR!
