    As bad as it will sound to the purists, I do hope they have controller support properly done.

    Unbelievable what they are trying to achieve with this.
    All in game alpha footage and it's unreal.
    1:1 scale, every airport in the world and you'll be able to find your house.

    Nuts!

    Pre orders are open, games released August 18th.

    If you take advantage of game pass for pc at a £1 for a month, you'll get to try it out for a month.
    Like it and just keep subscribing to the game pass service.

    Pc only for now, but console should follow.

    91Gb download on this side.

    Managing to fly, just.
    Can't * land a plane though.

    Controller support is there, full button mapping possible, but I have no * clue what the vast majority of the options are meant to do. Nor do they come with standard button prompts (like xbox controller icons) but simply "num4" "joyxaxis" and the *. Hope someone mods that to make it easier.

    Anyone got a good VR setup with Vorpx for this? I'm looking at buying a yoke/controller setup in the £500 range but might expand budget if the setup is nice enough.

    Just playing with controller (which is "fine" but I imagine a yoke setup would be infinitely better)
    Never tried VR at all, for any game.

    Unfortunately the beach airport at Barra hasn’t been included in FS2020. I found this out yesterday when I tried to fly from Glasgow.

    Hopefully a third party developer will do something to add Barra. More £££s away!

    I don't know if Vorpx is worth the hassle. Just wait for VR support later this year.

    This is the first real true next gen game to be released. Had a gaming pc 2 years now and been upgrading and this is the first game i have had to settle on Medium graphical settings at 2k. I have been able so far to shove everything right up to Ultra on any other game I have threw at it, but not this bad boy, this will fry some good setups. even at medium it's still unreal. Got my six fans running at top speed, my pc sounds like a * concorde trying to keep up with this. Microsoft will be upgrading this for years to come, more 3d cities, VR support etc

    Just flying over the Alps in VR. Probably up there with my best gaming experiences ever. Just so much more immersive than TV or monitor gaming. My PC is decent and it’s puffing :giggle1:

    I’m blown away that this is possible to do in my living room.
