do u know when its actually being released plzI got Flight Simulator X and have been surprised that nothing better seems to be out there...even now. It looks like Microsoft is getting close to releasing 2020 in the next year... It may be time for me to build a new decked-out PC.
I've been out of the PC market because I switched to console gaming with Xbox 360/XB1 and just didn't want to maintain PC's anymore. I'm guessing I'll probably shoot for whatever the fastest i7 Processor is with 32GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD with maybe a much larger SATA RAID array on the back end for long-term storage (so I don't have to rely on a NAS) and can do file transfers on the bus instead of the network.
Can anyone tell me what the best video cards are these days? I was always running nVidia chips on a few different models of cards back in the old days...Just curious what the new technologies and best brands are now.
No one knows yet. They started alpha testing I think and were doing a second round soon. I'm gonna guess Summer/Fall.do u know when its actually being released plz
Thanks not much point in buying it yet then Im not smart enough to test it outNo one knows yet. They started alpha testing I think and were doing a second round soon. I'm gonna guess Summer/Fall.
Hi ive flown a Cessna a few times too and i find that Saitek controls r far harder to manage than the real things Ive only had 6 landings so far but thats the best part of flying lolI'm in no big hurry to build a system. I'm going to want to setup a whole office and get Internet in my house again before I jump through those hoops... It might even be cool to setup multiple TV's as displays and make a REAL simulator-style cockpit in 4k since so many large TVs are cheap these days.
I really posted here to see if anyone else cares about flight sims anymore. They're kind of low-energy fun when no one's trying to shoot you down. I really enjoyed flying cessnas in real life, then replaying the experience on FSX....it wasn't the same as the real thing, but they did pretty good with mechanics. I have a logitec joystick with feedback, so it was fun fighting the controller in certain conditions/situations....
Yeah you have to watch a bunch of vids but at some point they make it clear theres gonna be plenty of modes and options so people of all skill levels can enjoy.I haven’t followed this much, what will the flight model be?
I know there is a hardcore realistic but will there be an “easy” relaxing mode?

Pre-orders are now live and FS 2020 will come in three editions, standard ($59.99), deluxe ($89.99) and premium deluxe ($119.99), with the more expensive versions featuring more planes and handcrafted international airports.
Remember this is coming out on Xbox as well as PC. I'm sure the airports as DLC will be pretty huge as they have more time to add details and updates (as the real world changes). I noticed there aren't many big US hubs included....like ATL or CLT or DFW or SLC... Hopefully they have some decent models.Coming August 18th, prices announced…
That $120 gets you only 30 planes and 40 airports. The planes I kinda expected but I am surprised at the airport number. This is clearly something MS intends to turn into a cash cow. I see an endless amount of "airport packs" in FS users future.
Update: Apparently these are "handcrafted airports" the implication being other airports will be useable but they will be less detailed. I haven't seen a detailed explanation of this yet.

You can get the alpha if you pay up now?welllll i just bought it
and now i'm looking at a honeycomb alpha

I bought a Logitech Wingman Force Feedback 3D for FSX. It was great because you could feel appropriate force when in a dive or doing rolls. It actually helped make the big jets feel more accurate when they drifted. I hope someone develops something similar...stick or yoke. Springs just aren't as cool.no the honeycomb alpha is a flight yoke model, i have heard good things:

they were supposed to have the bravo throttle ready by now, but COVID has delayed it somewhat so i might go with a cheaper logitech g throttle
I use a thrustmaster wharthog throttle and a vkb mcg flight stick. I mainly test missions created for a military sim but it should work fine for ms flight simulator too.no the honeycomb alpha is a flight yoke model, i have heard good things:
