You are not, the 150GB space requirement is with reserved cache space. You can pre-cache area that you will be flying in, so as long as you wont be wanting to fly one day in Australia and Africa, and another day in America and Europe you should be fine.
My Dad, whose a TV repairman, told me he can fix that with a little motion blur.Pictures of the base Xbox One version
Hmm, I wonder if the i5 8400's 2 extra cores and threads are that much different compared to the 6600k. I'll probably be able to run it close to recommended anyways. Between this and HL:Alyx, the 6600k is just not keeping up for even medium stuff anymore :(
Yeah. I always said this. When people reacted when screens appeared that it would be bad. Alot of "power" needed is done by the streaming.
The alpha for a long time was restricted to people with 32GB of RAM in their dxdiag file, which led people to believe this was likely the optimal spec. I'm not surprised - Flight Sim is probably more RAM and CPU bottlenecked than most games.
hope it runs and looks good on series x, close to the pc version at least. I know it wont on xbox one
yep! And closer to ideal.
That seems really unsafe.
Just saw one of these on sale for $15.
Is there a source for that? I know you can pre-load an area at higher detail but how could they claim it's limited to some portion of 150GB when it will be entirely dependent on the amount of land the route covers?
He ran when he saw the pc specs.Why is the door open? Where is the pilot?
LOLIdeal spec is a Core i7-9800X, RTX 2080, and 32 GB of RAM.
My reaction exactly!
Yeah it's definitely not trees, the plane's air speed is zero.
Someone will probably make a mod for that but it's not a military sim

Maybe it is because the game has some kind of Forzavista-like mode where you can see the planes and open doors.Why is the door open? Where is the pilot?
Since this doesn't need any real precice control. Its actually a good game to be completely streamed.
Different genre from Flight Simulator.
However, the previous game had a mission where you drop supplies down to a specific spot. You could pretend those were bombs if you wanted.
Soo, the 5700XT tends to run games a bit better in benchmarks than the Radeon VII, so I'm assuming it'll hit the Ideal Spec? I'm good on everything else.
This is still coming to Game Pass right?

I really hope people don't get the wrong idea about what this sim is. Don't let the other "simulator" games like Truck or Farming fool you. In FS, you take off from one airport and land at another. That's it. That's really all there is. In the previous versions of the sim (I've played a fair amount of FSX lately), the only "missions" were just fixed scenarios, specific airports and maybe stopping somewhere along the way. The most exciting they got was having time limits. They might say "Deliver emergency medical supplies!", but you still just took off from one airport and landed at another, there was't even an interface for the "medical supplies", it was just flavor text on the loading screen.
I get the feeling a lot of people are going to play this expecting a lot more of a "game", and then complaining about how "boring" and "pointless" it is. I'm there day one because I know what I'm getting into. I've got upwards of $500 worth of flight sim peripherals and I've barely scratched the surface of what's out there. But do your homework before you jump in.
I was half-joking.
I know the game is mostly meters and gauges with pretty sights.
Nice! Been looking forward to this one. Have always been a fan of Flight Sims and this just seems soo good.
It wasn't aimed just at you, I've seen a lot of other people talk about it like that. ;)
Really, all the gauges and all that is just informational. The trick comes from when you go deep. If you start the sim cold and dark, then you need to figure out how to get the thing turned on before you can even think about taxiing to the runway, much less actually getting into the air. You can hit the easy-mode "start engine" shortcut, or you can sit there and figure out what buttons you need to push and what switches you need to flip first. It can get pretty crazy, in a fun way. I remember flying once and wondering why the plane wasn't getting up to speed, knowing full well it should be faster than it is, especially at full throttle. Half an hour into the flight before I realized that I forgot to retract the landing gear...
I really hope they will put in even a rudimentary air freight meta game where you transport goods/passengers to earn money.
There are a few mods for FSX that do this as well, so if anything we are most likely going to at least get mods that will add more game elements.
With some social multiplayer added, where pilots can create and join airlines and generate value with successful flights.
And do what? You don't need money for anything. You don't have to "level up" or earn money to buy more expensive planes. If you want to fly a 747 right from the start, just pick it from the menu and off you go. There is no progression. That's why I try to avoid calling it a "game" and call it a "sim", because there aren't any "game" elements in it, and I don't believe there should be.
People like to roleplay. Thats why you have people acting like being a Tower on a airfield.
You don't need the sim to tell you to do that, though. I once flew a cargo flight from St. Louis to Houston because I was "following" an Amazon package that I was expecting the next day. The sim didn't have a pre-defined "mission" to make me do it, I just did it. Far more rewarding in a sim like this to make your own goals, not just do what the "game" tells you to do.
Darn. I have recommended (more then) but I don't have ideal. I wonder if when they introduce VR if my computer can handle it.
I dont know. Doesnt hurt. The game will be mod supported alot so people will try alot of things i guess.
