    MS Flight Sim is premature

    Not quite the quality I expected. I've owned all of the past MS Flight Sim games. Had little problems with them. This new Flight Sim is a royal pain in the rear. Constantly giving trouble, locking up, losing controls mid flight. Updates that take a day to complete. Not much flying time at all. And yes my PC has a top end video card, 32 gigs of ram and an I9 processor. Once the bugs get worked out I'm confident that this will be the best game ever. It's just taking too long to fix the bugs.

    Oustanding!

    It's been a long time since Microsoft released Flight Simulator X which was great for its time. The release of Flight Simulator 2020 represents a major leap forward, It's graphic engine is, at the higher settings, close to photo realistic. Looking down while flying shows incredible details right down to cars moving on roads and freeways. You can set a variety of variables such as time, live weather, clouds, etc. There is a very good selection of aircraft and highly detailed models of selected airports. There are already bundles of free and paid add ons that can be applied to enhance the program even more. One cautionary note. In order to run FS2020 at the High or Ultra graphics settings, you'll need a powerful PC with ideally at least an I7-9700 processor, 32GB of RAM and a fast graphics card with 6GB of Video RAM of more. The Nividia RTX 2070 Super card works very well with the program and should be dropping in price with the introduction of the new RTX 30 series over the next month. If you can wait, the new RTX 3070 is due out next month and should provide an excellent experience.

    Still Not Yet Fully Baked

    I've been an armchair pilot since the days of SubLogic software in the mid 80's. Clearly, we've come a long way since then. But after 8 months since it's release, Microsoft (Asobo) is still patching this which is great that they are very conscientious to fixing problems, but just like updates, sometimes they fix some things but break others. Also annoyances that seem the simplest to fix get put on the back burner. Autopilot is broken (sometimes it will work) which makes this unplayable. No one wants to crash and burn even virtually. Also, this 'game' needs a high end rig to get the best performance. If you only have a mid range machine and you really want this Sim, then it might be time to consider investing in all of those upgrades you were putting off like (a large) SSD, faster more RAM, a processor with more cores, and a graphics board upgrade. Check the site for minimum recommended hardware. But with that said, when it really flies (pun intended) the experience can be stunning.

    Don't buy it

    Don't buy it like typical microsoft this sim is full of bugs not fully tested ... and it is a DOWNLOAD... You don't get the dvd discs.. I got it installed and updated all my drivers joined xbox live.. it installed but when trying to play the game.. it starts to open (unreal graphics) then goes to check for updates gets about halfway through doing updates and crashes.. sends You right back to the desktop... so google microsoft FS2020 crashes to desktop ..is a big problem lots of people complaining the same is happening to them... NO FIX our there.. THIS game is NOT ready for Public sale... DON"T buy it yet... also You best have a top of the line computer and video Card.. and a 550 watt power supply (minimum) to run it. I want my money back

    Went out the door before all the code was written.

    Calibration of flight controls is a nightmare. No manual, no tutorials, nonoperational switches, malfunctioning gauges. What good is world-class scenery when just flying the plane takes so much attention?
