This will be a great sim in 2 years time..

[Khomann]

I think another huge plus about MSFS2020 is its accessibility to new simmers. I've been wanting to get XPlane or Prepar3d, but honestly it always intimidated me with the complexity of everything. Obviously a simulation of elaborate machines is going to be this way, but I felt like MSFS had enough handholding for me to feel comfortable diving in.

I've learned so much about aviation, and it is certainly becoming a new passion of mine. I think we'll start to see a small renaissance of flight simming with MSFS, especially once it hits the Xbox.

[jaysmith]

I hear the criticism that it feels like it was rushed out the door. While this is certainly true, I don't think it's a valid criticism because I would rather have it on my computer now in its current state, than wait 6-9 months for a finished product. But if 6-9 months go by and they haven't fixed the autopilots, then I'll be upset. One pleasant surprise is that I get a much higher frame rate than on X-plane with comparable settings.

I really hope the next major update will include *landing video replay* !!!

[PhilGeissler]

Thank you very much for your review. You're the first one to mention the oversensitivity of the controls, which was something that annoyed me as well.

[andysim]

Sitting on the ramp at KMIA watching the live traffic taking off and landing, while listening to LiveATC and hearing those same aircraft calling in, and then looking at flightaware to see where they are going.... blew my mind!!

[Aleksandarix]

I had a great experience. Bought a new 172 in fseconomy and had to fly out from Illinois to California. THAT was an incredible journey. I had another player (no names displayed) follow me for 200 miles from small town Nebraska to Denver Colorado, parking right next to me. Couldn't turn on names without pausing the sim, and as such had no way to contact him without ruining formation

[virtualboeingpilot]

Great video! Your VATSIM Series has taught me a lot! I recently became a fully fledged VATSIM pilot! Thanks so much!

[erikwillems]

How about:
- The crappy installation process.
- The must have dvd in drive for boxed version (it's 2020).
- Bridges are solid and even when they aren't you might be running into a wall.
- The half arsed checklists that often just let you start the engine. Editting them is a pain as the focus option makes it complicated to do.
- The multiplayer part that is missing communication between players or being able to hear other players vs atc.
- The announced cooperation with vatsim which turns out to be just the same integration that all other sims have.
- No ultra lights, gliders or choppers.

I still enjoy the sim and I know it is going to grow. But if you ain't a fanatic, you might be better of to wait before buying and get more content for less money.

The most disappointing thing about MS Flight Simulator 2020 is the fact that the Standard Edition only comes preloaded with one single planet: Earth. You can't fly to the Moon, you can't fly to Mars or Jupiter... only old boring Earth!

[mjstcyt]

andddd i am just done with my first "successful" flight on VATSIM, ATC was extra nice and it was amazing! I would like to thank you for your very helpful tutorials, I literally watched at least 75% of them haha, I also made sure to thank the ATC (just like you did in your tutorials :))))
Edit: Awww he actually replied :0

[nicklasdincer]

When you "freeze" the game, not just the environment keeps moving but also the physics. For example your aircraft speed speed or drag keeps simulating, so as soon as you continue the plane might stall / overspeed / turn around etc !

One observation about aircraft sensitivity - #4. I discovered it does not seems to be an issue with the flight model but rather an issue with joystick calibration (in my case Logitech Force 3D PRO). I found it is off after every restart of the sim. My routine now is to start with a visit to to controls setting and my joystick sensitivity section after every fresh start of the sim and wiggle the stick in all axes to their limit positions. This procedure seems to calibrate the stick. I save the settings and proceed to my flight. After this procedure all controls seems to be reacting more gently and appropriately. Happy flying!

[spindlemelon]

Add-On airplanes is key. I play both X-plane and FS2020. My only wish is they create an airliner just the Zibo-737 in X-plane. Unfortunately FS2020 is not there yet, what it has right now is some good eye candy!

[nocluewhatimdoing]

I see a lot of people complaining about the flight dynamics, and maybe it's because I only really fly the 172, but as a PPL student, I think the flight dynamics are pretty accurate to real life.

[johnhammond]

Its now December and I have just got a gaming PC and FS2020. A week of tuning and adjusting the settings to my liking and its amazing!
If it never got any better than this with anymore patches I will still be totally satisfied.

[JAYZ]

I also love how it introduced a lot of new people to simulation. Like me. A lot of the newcomers mostly mess around, and that’s fine. And others like me have learned so much about flying an airplane that I would’ve otherwise never learned.

[tomijutila]

I really don't know how they would make a realistic emulation of the changing seasons, the colours of the trees, the fields and all that. The visuals are still based on one season when the aerial photos have been taken, mainly summer and they'd have to model seasonal changes all around the world taking account different environments, forest types especially. Such a complex system that I don't believe any programmer or visual artist could mimic in a sim at least in a realistic way. And during winter you should have a very realistic emulation of snow coverage with the real time weather.

[russellharris]

My rig is under minimum specs but still gives good results on mainly medium settings:-ASUS M5A78L/usb3 motherboard, NVIDIA 1050 TI graphics card, AMD FX 8350 CPU, 32 GB ram, 750 watt PSU.In the southern UK satellite data is AT LEAST 28 YEARS OLD, Microsoft informed me today that they are going to work on specific word areas untill all of the world has been updated.What they don't do is commit to providing more recent satellite data which is crucial for VFR and particularly young pilots looking for landmarks they can
