Microsoft Flight Simulator

I had a bad feeling there would be a day one patch which is why I tried launching the game a couple of times today but only just got the update.

Why couldn't they have pushed this earlier?

2 and half hours until it completes...:(
 
Same. I quit and restarted and got to part 2 where you pick assists and realtime streaming data. Now stuck on the next screen!

In game, flying around London. Not as impressive as I thought and horrendous loading times.

Need to explore more. Quite easy to fly with all assists on.

Not sure if it’s crashed or still loading :D

Same for me after I crashed the plane. Tried to go back to mode selection and after 5 mins assumed it had crashed and turned the whole console off.

What little I played was good but the menus are very pc-esque and the load times are annoying unless it's server related. I'm sure a patch will sort the issues out in time. 1st day of release and part of gamepass sub so can't grumble too much!
(Series S btw)

Loading times were horrendous on PC
 
The other thing is they keep promising Xbox and PC will be the same version so how come the Xbox claims to be downloading 1.18.12.0 when my PC has just downloaded 1.18.13.0?
 
Certainly had to have some patience at some of those first screens. Unsure whether it’s in ‘vrr’ mode or not. I assume it auto detects, it certainly feels above 30fps in some scenarios. Working through the tutorials.

Platform-specific bug fixes?

There's inevitably going to be issues that one affect one platform or the other. That's going to introduce slight variances in the version numbers. What's important is that both are running version 1.18, that both platforms receive timely bug fixes, and that both platforms move on to 1.19 at the same time (24th August?).
 
Once done a flight or two seems quick to load into a game

I'm on about my third random area in world and all look stunning.

Way better than on my PC and way smoother - all be it my PC has an aged 290
 
Lol, what’s with the mouse cursor in the top left and “press any button to start” voiceover… yikes talk about pc port thinly disguised as console game
