I hope so as 120Gb will be a long wait even at 8 or 9 Mbs. However as I noted above no sign of any pre load either in the Steam client or in the directory structure. Will resign myself to probably not playing this until Wednesday evening.

Damn that sucks..I have a 27MB/sec download speed so will take me hours..Was going to have tuesday off work for this..Not really no point now if theres no pre load..Cheers for the info tho
Alpha/Beta was a very smooth experience on my 3900x and GTX1080 at 1440p, 30-60fps all the time on High settings. A different experience altogether from the XP11/P3D days.
Ooo thanks, I’ll have to check that out! I did a little research last night and also found one called “Self-Loading Cargo”, which I think are looking to support FS2020 from the get go!
That’s the Steam speed, not my broadband speed!
This is a bit like asking how a Aerial Atom is going to handle a track day
It's not CPU heavy, it is definitely GPU and RAM heavy, so your system should cope really well even at ultrawide or 4k. I'd say once you load a few more add-ons, especially something like a PMDG aircraft, you will start to see a lot more CPU usage, but your 8700k isn't going to be holding you back.

My main Monitor is a 1440 ultrawide but am hoping to play this a fair bit on my larger 4K OLED (60hz)
If i remember right when FSX came out it ran like a dog even on very high end systems
FSX still runs like crap on high end systems

Above is 3950x, 2080ti at 1080 ultrawide.
FSX is a 32bit application, even Dovetail couldn't overcome that for the Steam version. So no matter how much hardware you throw at it can only use 4Gb (I think) of RAM. It also suffers from the fixed font size issue if you try and run at 4K.

I'd recommend getting a second 2080ti.
New cards are weeks away, if dropping ti sort of money it'd be better to limp along with a very cheap card then go 3080ti

Same as mine except I have a 2070S. I can run on ultra it most areas and it's fine. Not looking at FPS. You'll be more than fine. Running at 3440 x 1440. Game is GPU bound.
I think you missed some sarcasm there... I believe it was more a response to someone with not far off the most powerful gaming setup currently available asking if his specs will run it ok.
