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.

Mine did the same a few times when first installed. A restart fixed it and it hasn’t done it again. There are plenty of odd bugs with this.

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?

Unfortunately not

I just can’t justify it as I’d basically have to start again from scratch considering I have what ‘was’ an awesome small form factor pc (which fits perfectly in our lounge TV unit) which has an i7-5930k, 32GB RAM, 2 x Titan Xp (one with cooler which was incredibly difficult to fit). All in it probably cost me around £4k back in 2017.

It’s quite frightening how much more powerful the 3000 series cards are to the Titan Xp now. I believe I’m still ok for another year or too which could be stretched out if SLI was still a thing.

I briefly considered selling my rig and switch to the new Xbox but I do occasionally like to play some VR titles so sticking with PC is probably still the best for now

No reason you couldn't just replace the gpu's. Might need a new case, granted, but not as bad as starting from scratch

I'm trying to work out what to do. I have an old i5-3570k CPU, and new'ish GTX 1660 SUPER. So have in mind that a new build is required, as Mobo can not really take a good CPU.

Might get the game on gemepass (so no big cost layout) and see what low/med settings with some tweaks look likes. Have watched a few players on You tube on better CPU's and GTX 1660 (not super) who have run the game with quite high settings and getting about 25 fps. Which for me would be fine. But really like the thought of flying around NYC in its glory - so might see that the new Nvidea GPU's do to current card prices. The truth is I really need to build again.

Looks like an offshore wind farm.

Getting to grips with the King Air now, done a couple of island hops in the Pacific, and finished up chasing the sunset from Inverness to Benbecula.

Needs to start learning how to set up approaches properly rather than just going point to point and manually taking over.
 
It has to be. i see them just past the Essex coast line as well as just before the Amsterdam coast line.

I love this sim. I know it needs a lot of work but give it a couple of years this will be amazing
 
The past 2 days I've had two mates come over my house and I have gone to a few locations they have been on Holiday the Gold coast in oz and New York and they where completely blown away by the detail ! My friend even got his phone out to show me his footage and it was spot on ! obviously not as detailed as real life but its pretty close , this game is amazing , I've generally just been flying out one airport and then letting the co pilot fly me to the next location and I've just been enjoying the views lol ! odd way to play I guess but I've been enjoying it.

I need a Joystick, just tried my first training flight and I crashed using the keyboard. :D:D:D

In terms of graphics settings the game decided on Medium.

Spec is a 3700X AND 1080TI

I purchased a Thrustmaster T1600M for this (and the upcoming X-Wing game) and couldn't be happier. Plenty of buttons (5 on the stick + a hat controller, and 12 on the base) and a decent built throttle. I'm not going full sim with a seperate throttle etc. but would highly recommend this joystick.

Out of main city areas, I can run it on ultra (1080p) with a Ryzen 5 3600 CPU, 16GB, and AMD RX 5700 graphics card.
 
There's a clicking sound all the time while I fly planes. Anyone got an idea what it is??

Its not an overspeed indicator. Managed to turn it off by muting instrument sounds but ideally want them on.

All planes? It sounds like you’re describing the trim wheel adjusting itself. I haven’t tried all the planes yet but the 747 makes that noise. The single engine piston aircraft I’ve spent most of my time with don’t though.

Once we're at cruise altitude I quite often read a book and enjoy the views. It's really relaxing. You get the nice part of flying without the uncomfortable seats, crap food and airports :E

It isn't morse code is it?
 
Supposedly this runs OK at medium on an Intel Hades Canyon NUC... so I’ve dug mine out (been using it as an UNRAID Server) and I’m downloading as we speak.
Won’t be great but at least gives me the chance to try it before I decided to invest in a new-build for gaming.
