I have been watching with baited breath concerning MS2020 and what the program may bring to the flight simulator world. I'm still working to get signed up on the "Insider" page but I have to set up a Microsoft account in Windows 10 and been trying to avoid it for the longest time. I suppose I should breakdown and just make it so.

When I see screen shots like this:

it just seems unreal that the technology has come this far. There is a Facebook page also dedicated to MS2020. I have been following it closely. Aside from the repeated questions and not so nice folks and their comments, there is some interesting information that is posted. There is a mountain of speculation to say the least.

So I'm pretty excited by what I see. The one aspect of diving into a new simulator program that always drives me nuts is what type of equipment I will need to get the most out of the program. The upside is that the actual "scenery" and such will not have to be loaded on my PC.

In the past upgrading to a new simulator they publish the minimum system requirements. That is all fine. What I have always wondered is what those folks are running over there at Microsoft that makes the simulator look the way it does when they market it!!!!!!! Those are the system requirements I want to know so I can get the same results. Do they have access to a top secret NASA computer? Do they build their own special computers that us commoners do not have access?

Just once I would like them to say, "You want it all? Get this type of system y'all [fill in the blank.] Then I know how much money to save PRIOR to purchasing the product :confused:

Peace out!
