Anybody have a recommendation for a good joystick that doesn't cost a fortune to play this? I am not looking for anything too advanced, just something to improve experience over playing with a controller

Bargain. Probably get it cheaper if you put an offer in.
 
We're did you get this ?

Download the xbox insider hub app from Microsoft store, sign up for the beta there. Then restart computer and launch the xbox app and it will give you an option to update.

DLSS works wonders btw, I was running at 1440p previously on Ultra and getting 40fps (ish) in high density photogrammetry areas. I can now run the game at 4k (via Nvidia DSR) and then use DLSS on 'quality' preset and get 50fps(ish) in the same area.

Only downside is the digital cockpit displays don't look quite as crisp with DLSS enabled.
 
I Happy enough with the performance of the game tried the new patch but as I did it wouldnt let me play the topgun dlc..the extra fps was nice but took it off after a fiddle ..I'll wait to the official patch ones out hopefully they wil have sorted the issue I was having..
 
Annual thread bump from me :D

Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th August sees the 16th annual 'Mid Summer Madness!' event at EGBB Birmingham on the VATSIM Network.

EGBB will be fully staffed from Delivery right up to London Control from 1100-2000 BST both days. No flight bookings - any aircraft, any time to and/or from EGBB.

There's some prizes on offer, courtesy of PMDG, ORBX and A2A Simulations. Prizes will be awarded to the pilot who makes the longest flight (distance) to EGBB, the pilot who makes the most flights to/from EGBB and the remainder will be allocated to pilots at random.

Last year was our busiest event ever, where during the event hours, we saw 302 departures and 269 arrivals. Hopefully you can fly and help us beat that this year.

Hope to see you there.

Cheers!

That seems a very reasonable price. Anyone know why the -600 is half the price of the -700?

The price is amazing for a fully featured top
quality PMDG airliner! It will serve as a compelling gateway product into the PMDG product line and I think many new simmers will go for it at that price.

I also think that the popularity of FS2020 will generate high volume sales for developers if products are priced competitively, which is possibly why we are seeing the prices of add on aircraft starting to come down vs historic pricing on the FSX/P3D platform. Take the excellent Fenix A320 for example.

The price difference between the -700 and -600 is definitely not reflective of what you get. Truly incredible value!
