**** Official Microsoft Flight Simulator Thread ****

Thrustmaster Warthog Hotas.
Thrustmaster TPR pedals.
MSFS Premium Deluxe version ordered. (It would be rude not to after everyting they have put into this).

Now the date cannot come soon enough!
 
Can someone try and answer a question please. I pre downloaded this with gamerpass. But the file was only 20.24 MB. Its supposed to be minium 150gb. Or will it start downloading that on release day. So whats the point in pre downloading if the file is so small. Thanks

not with Xbox gold, however using MS game pass you do get the standard version. Deluxe and premium need to be brought.

you can upgrade Xbox gold membership to game pass membership but may need to look into full conversion details / price etc: https://www.xbox.com/en-GB/live/gold/upgrade

You've basically downloaded the downloader which will download the rest of the game. Not sure if they might switch on the download of the game closer to release date perhaps?

I imagine it was Between the 744 or 748 and later one out. Would have like to see some more big twins 77W / 350 to be honest, can see there is the 78X in the highest end version.

suppose we will see mods eventually anyways.

No 744?

I'm out.

It's a bit like the train sims, where the youngsters want to drive the latest streamlined plastic, not the smelly noisy diesels people like myself grew up with.

Hopefully the add on market for FS2020 will deliver the DC10's, 744's and 727's we old fossils crave! :)

They did the same with Forza Horizon 4. I believe the download will work from midnight to download the rest.
 
I do wonder if Orbx already have supplied airports to MS, there are several detailed ones Orbx have already done for FSX/P3D included in FS2020, LOWI for instance. Coincidence?
 
I don't doubt it. Just a couple of tweaks to the colour palette to blend it with the MS maps and terrain and incorporate any new airport features that MS wish to implement.
 
Really looking forward to this! Still never managed to apply for the alpha/beta - that website is shocking :p

But not long of a wait now :D
 
UK2000 Scenery have publicly stated today that the SDK isn't ready yet, so I wonder if that means 3rd party developers have yet to produce anything for the new sim.
 
I wonder what the other airports are going to be like if they are only mentioning these selected, the same with other scenery, how low will you get before the graphics do not look so good
 
The opportunities from 3rd party expansions are vast, but first I'm going to focus on enjoying the core game for a while.

I hear the Honeycomb yoke is good by the way. Might buy one.

That's a good shout, I know there's a few routes I'd like to fly, but as you say. What does, for example Manchester look like, and wonder what the UK terrain will look like. On Bing maps, in our area the aerial maps are at least 5 years old.
