Flight Simulator 2020
The full boat price is $119

I bought it a few weeks ago. Been out 2 days now. You need a kick ass computer to play it though. Xbox version coming soon. High end graphics are incredible

It takes 3 minutes or more to load. But it’s worth the wait.

I have a pilots license but sold my plane 2 weeks before 9-11 and gave it up after that. This thing is as close as you can get to real

They've come a long way. Back in the early 2000's I had a B-737 simulator. Got pretty good with it. Best flight was taking off from DFW, only climb to about 2000 ft., then make a sweeping bank and land at Love Field. Was a good warm-up for other flights.

Make sure your computer has the horsepower for this game though.

On install it checks your system and tells you what it will automatically set the graphics to.......

Mine set the graphics at about 80%. And it looks great!

This game has such demanding graphics its built for the long haul, even the very best graphics cards on 4k are going to have dips into the 20-30 frames in busy areas.

I will likely get this but not till around the holidays. I should have by buddies 2080 by then which should run it no issues.

It does require some serious graphics.....card. Mine is doing well. I’m just loving flying this thing over tourist spots and around my hometown area.

Really making me miss the real thing
