Got my Alpha invite through too

Yikes, what performance can I expect to see with a Ryzen 2700, RTX 2080 and 32gb ram?? We got ourselves another system killer!

Just registered and done the survey for an alpha invite. I don't know how they select but I've got a decent PC and a very fast internet connection, but I doubt that matters, they've probably got quotas for all different levels of PC and internet speed.

How big is the download?

Firestar_3x · 15 Feb 2020 at 12:14

Something like 80gb.

andy_mk3 · 15 Feb 2020 at 12:16

Yeah, about 79GB. Which is making my 32Mb connection seem like dial-up waiting for it

Got a link for registering? I did register last year and uploaded the xml file but I only had 16Gig RAM at the time. I would like to attempt reregistration now I have 32Gig RAM.

Cheers,

You can upload a new dxdiag to your previous registration.

Thank you mate! I'll get that done on Monday.

After around 8 hours of downloading I am in. Obviously unable to reveal much but I can from the screenshots I have seen it does match my expectations. I have done the obligatory fly-by of my house

Does this definitely need 32GB of RAM?

I need to know so I can order in another 16GB kit I’m case I get an invite.

High settings I'm constantly running at ~16GB system usage.

Thanks, so 32GB definitely seems worth it.

Probably not to be honest. But I think most have been shown in trailers so far. Only props.

Ok, can’t wait to see the jets. Interested in how in-depth they are. Can’t see them being
PMDG levels.

hi everyone,
I'm so excited, I was gutted over demise of FSX and MSFlight. I'm a little worried about the prospect of the same thing recurring.
However, it seems my old titan-goliath will need replacing in a few months.

I've had a look around and think this set-up looks good.

thermaltake View 31 RGB Tempered Glass Mid Tower
850W GameMax RGB Modular 80+ Gold Power Supply
1x 120mm Thermaltake Riing RGB 12 LED with Fan Switch
ASUS Intel Z390 ROG MAXIMUS XI HERO 9th Gen ATX Motherboard
Intel® Core™ i9-9900K 8 Core Processor (3.60GHz) 16MB Cache
EKWB EK-KIT P360 Custom 360mm Complete Water Cooling Kit
32GB 3200MHz DDR4 (2x16GB) - Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO Black
8GB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER Turing Graphics Card
1TB Intel 660p M.2 PCIe QLC 3D Performance NVMe SSD/Solid State Drive
3TB SATA III 6GB/s 7200rpm 64MB Cache 8ms
Microsoft Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit

fav games are
mainly flying, racing and city builders.
TheCrew1&2
flight Sims,
Anno all of them

Will this do?
I think mfs2020 will have VR option, which I'll will probably want to try. would this setup be able to cope?

Thanks in advance for any help?
