Anyone figure out how to turn off the points of interest icons? I want to take pics of cities but they're ruined with a giant "PHILADELPHIA" or "NEW YORK" sticking out of them. I'm searching through settings and I just can't find anything for this.
I am shocked at how well my i5 8gb gtx970 is running this! 1080p and at least 30fps on medium.
I havent tried a major city yet, but I'm happy.
Also, do you need a super light touch with the controller? Everything I did in training jerked the plane around like crazy.

You can turn down the sensitivity in the settings. In fact, I'd recommend it. I knocked mine down about 25% and it felt better, might knock it down a little more. It definitely requires a light touch!
Go into the controller menu and turn the sensitivity down a lot. Makes a huge difference. Default is too sensitive.
Man. The AI gets very confused at landing.
Maybe it's just the podunk auto generated airport I chose, but it settled in the grass.

It's under the assists in the options, I believe. One of the collapsible menus lets you turn off points of interest, etc..
Same. I literally was trying new Zealand VPN because it has worked through steam in other cases until I read that it is a single global release time on steam... Lol
I'll have it download during the night while I'm sleeping then lol
Grabbed the premium deluxe edition on Steam and am looking forward to flying the Dreamliner sometime later this week.
Downloading now, will take around 12 hours with my speed to dowload it.
Fun fact, this will be my first flight sim to try out longer than 15 minutes. Last one i tried was the 98 one.
i hope some of you can help me since i have a bet going on with a friend saying that he does not believe that i can take off with a boeing 747. i think i can, it will take some time ofc. full manual that is.
are there manuals out there to explain a 747 and how to turn on everything and what everything does?
want to prepare myself while i download the game hehe.
i really want to deep dive into this game, since ni have the next 10 days for myself.
cant wait to share my experiences with you all.
the german in me cant wait to Check out this game.

Same problem here. It only pre-installed like 1GB as well...
In the settings, then Data.
You can change where the streaming cache is located and how much it can use (default 8 GB).
To add to the above, remember that it's in the Windows settings, not anywhere on the Microsoft Store.
Lol, random twitch streamer decided to fly over the DMZ into North Korea. Maybe I'll try to fly over/to Chernobyl. Are you allow to land at non-airports? Like in a field?
yep. if you see an open surface, you can try to land on it. whether your velocity/angle will be a good match for that surface's angle/curve is another question, but fields are fair game.
You can land anywhere, just remember that the game isn't designed to be seen from that close to the ground so stuff will probably look wonky. Handcrafted airports will look the best at ground level, followed by NON-protogramnetry areas, followed by photogrammetry areas like NYC.
Watching casuals react to this game is hands down the funniest shit ever, folk was mind blown. He even went and told his momma, "they got the whole world on there, this the best looking game I seen in my life, the ain't no game" 😭😭😭. Moment of the week for sure.
Whoever came up with the PC controls is an evil person. Legit, I'm in "modern" and even controlling the drone is absolutely a joke. There are standards for a reason. Either way, just plugged my xbox controller and I'm having the time of my life. I can actually control the airplane properly and still do all the other details with mouse/keyboard (like clicking on the AI to auto-do half the stuff haha).
Beautiful game. Just flew to my home country (it's night there) and send a picture of my parents place to them.

How has anyone got past this god forsaken black screen? Running as admin here, tried uninstall and reinstall. Open the game, small loading circle, black screen. I can see my mouse but that's it.
Just started it up, it set me for default Very High, when it first starts, my FPS is in the tank, but then once it all sets, I settle around 45FPS.

This game is fucking gorgeous. I haven't had a next-gen feeling since seeing Fight Night 3 for the first time on the 360.

i had this problem and reset my computer and reinstalled a bunch and nothing worked so i went to bed frustrated, but then i did literally every single thing on this list and it worked https://flightsimulator.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015760660-Windows-Store-troubleshooting
ymmv of course, it could be complete luck on my part
oh also apparently the reason why this works even though its not a "store issue" its because theres supposed to be an xbox sign-in popup when you get to that screen
The "Bush Trips" are fairly involved. They are huge 9 hour flights that are broken up into many different "legs". When you complete a leg it saves a checkpoint there so you can quit and resume.
There are 3 of these in the game as of now- a grand tour of the Sierras that starts in Bakersfield and ends in Yosemite, a flight from the Balkans that ends in Santorini, and something in South America.
These require you to follow landmarks and descriptions provided to you in your flightplan to navigate. You can't use GPS. I just did the first leg of the Yosemite one and it was awesome. There is even some history and context of the things you are flying over given to you in the directions that really adds to the experience.
Does anyone lmow what could be causing the content manager to download at a measily 10Kb/s ? There is nothing wrong with my internet as I get full speeds when doing a speed test
Restarted the game countless times and I think the highest speeds I get is around 500Kb/s (Normally I can download at around 10-12MB/s)
