So glad that they're bringing back the franchise and everything they've shown so far is exactly what I was hoping for :D

I'll play this because it's on Game Pass.
But I think I'd pay money to see a comprehensive "Making Of".

I guess they just have satellite data from year round but that looks unbelievable.

This in VR is going to make a lot of people question the validity of the real world and whether we live in a simulation.

I saw an ad for this game recently and was actually floored when I saw that it was a game. What the hell.

It sounds weird when I say it but this is one of my most anticipated releases, assuming it's coming to the new Xbox and will have full joystick support.

I'm scared to search the requirements, is 16gb ddr4 and gtx 1080 ok?

There's no official requirements yet, but the pre-alpha builds were running 4K/60 on a 2080ti, I believe. Given optimizations before launch and not trying to hit 4K, a 1080 should be fine. (I hope so, because that's what I have, too.)

Remember alot of it is streaming also. If you choose.

STANDARD: Do previously saved landscapes remain on the PC?

Neumann: Yes. So you can either stream the game - of course that depends on the connection. We rely on adaptive streaming. If you have a line between 15 and 25 Mbps, you can stream in HD. Below it is then in SD. But when the Internet is completely gone, you still have a world - that's dynamic. You can also download your flight route in advance. Then the streaming is completely gone. Most pilots will stay local. They will fly from Munich to Augsburg. I think they will download the route in advance.

Sounds good for now. I'll probably upgrade with the next series of RTX cards.

But all games release now on Steam also. No reason why this game suddenly wont be.

Many games don't, especially if they're tentpole games being used to build up an install base of the publisher's storefront platform (Call of Duty Modern Warfare, Gears of War 4). Remember the Windows store...

Between DCS charging you for every module, and Prepar3d's most expensive flight sim licence being $2300, I hope this will be an affordable get.

I am offcourse talking about MS. Because its about of FS will release on Steam.
They said all games as of now with release on Steam also. We got Gears 5, Halo MCC all upcoming XGS games in 2020 and Halo Infinite. So it would be weird if FS wont be.

Looks amazing. I've never really been too interested in flight simulators but I'd like to check this one out. Hopefully my i5 6600k and 980ti are up for the task.
