Microsoft Flight Simulator In-Depth Preview (4K)

I had the opportunity to meet with the devs and play the upcoming revival of Microsoft Flight Simulator. Set to release in 2020, this sim has sparked a lot of questions in the flight sim community, so in this video I'll present all the key info and give you my first-hand experience with the pre-alpha build - in 4K!

Microsoft mostly funded the trip to Seattle for the Global Preview Event, but all opinions in this video are my own.

The 1st thing anyone does in these types of games is look for your house

Gonna be so immersive when my PC sound's like the plane I'm flying.

16:51 there was a different car
Wife: *nervous laughter*

[YesYouAreAbsolutelyCorrect]

This is crazy. I can't believe I lived to see this level of gaming realism. Seriously.

[flickinggamer]

Of course there was a different car outside your house.  Your car was at the airport.

Now this is what I imagined a 2020s game would be like

[h.p.]

I just wanted to say, I really enjoyed this video. The background music as well as your voice was very calm and the clarity of the video was stunning. Please make more of these introduction videos on different sims too. Thank you for the video!

"The better the bandwidth, the better the visuals"


Mine is gonna look like SimCity 2000

I watched this clip so many times, but watching you with your narrative style gave a completely new perspective. Too bad I could not be there, but honestly after watching your video, the experience would have been redundant.

I'm left in awe. Not only due to the simulator looking amazing, but the way you've put the video together is amazing. From the background music to the editing to the way YOU presented the content. Stunning. Well done Paul.

Me: sees amazing trailer and looks over to PC

PC: shakes in fear

[mogomojo]

Me: Watches this video and causally looks over at my pc

My pc: Don’t even think about

"And sure enough, there was my house. There's a different car outside"


Dude, she didn't expect you home so soon. = P

"The sim measures the bandwidth you have available, and chooses the level of detail to stream accordingly."

can't wait to fly over the vast grey foggy nothingness, thanks for nothing, comcast

[GrayWolf-]

I stopped flying real metal when it became too expensive and I became too old. I rely on simulators now and I think this will be a real gas. Great and honest review. Thanks!

"I found my house. There was a different car outside" *calls wife to ask wtf she has been doing*

2009: Can you run crysis?
2020: Can you run Flight Simulator?

[DDGR]

I'd buy this game just to fly to my house, maybe land on my street or something.

[DChappelle]

Flies for 8 straight hours over the Ocean.
