Does he? Surprising - he always comes across like he's just read stuff on Wikipedia, dunno why. GripperSim is an instructor IIRC, and has a great sense of humour.

His flight from Southend to London City was quite good as it made ref to a route he was from experience familiar with. I think flightdec2sim is really good. A real commercial (UK based) pilot.
 
All I want is the Citation Longitude in the premium deluxe version but paying that much would be madness. Shame there isn't the option to purchase individual aircraft
 
Weirdly the ground level scenery i.e. when taxing in this game reminds me of Operation Flashpoint - just something about the colours, texture detail and style and tree implementation.
 
Got CH Flightstick Pro and Pro Throttle today, all setup fine. Experimented with removing my bluetooth dongle and switching to a wired keyboard....no more CTDs! I've been flying for a few hours now, uninterrupted.

Currently cruising over McMurdo sound in the Antarctic in a King Air. It's absolutely breathtaking....I'm going to end up spending some serious wedge on a new PC once the VR update drops.

My parents were both PPLs and I flew most weekends when I was younger. This is the first sim I've tried that captures the feeling of being up there.

Might be a bit behind in my post. But reading a lot of people suggesting live weather is hit or miss. They have not listed it as a patch fix (along with auto pilot) which is a shame. Some people have suggested starting as admin helps chances of seeing real time weather.

I've not got the game yet but I was reading that the weather data provider has confirmed they're sending it OK but there appears to be an issue where the game isn't taking it at times which seems a bit strange!
 
Well I just went to play MSFS2020 and when i click the icon it takes me to a web site telling me that Microsoft gaming services has been installed and nothing loads.
Anyone else seen this or has my install somehow been screwed.

If it is screwed anyone aware of a repair option?
If it is reinstall then that will wait until the patch release.

Have you opened the Xbox app yet? You should see the "game" there on the left.

Dubrovnik to Brac island. Ultrawide is pretty spectacular. Running on two 32" 4K monitors. Thought the bezel might be annoying but it's not a problem as you're not looking dead ahead most of the time. 1080 @ 70% scaling, mixture of settings, getting about 21fps.
 
Game would not start at all from the start menu or from within the Xbox app both resulted in the website telling me Gaming services was installed.

Found a fix though in the install / remove programs screen click on MSFS 2020 and you see the move or uninstall option. In smaller text there is also "more" and under that you find a repair option.
Clicked that and within 15 seconds game started up!
 
I'm looking forwards to a new gpu to see if I can crank up the eye candy a bit. Anyone else upgrading with this partially in mind?
