kingnorris Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I bought a brand new gaming rig (specs in my sig) and decided, why not try this out through Microsoft Gamepass for a $1. I went in not expecting much except pretty scenery, and after coming into this forum a few times and talking sh*t, I must now apologize... Game is a helluva upgrade from my previous FSX! It's only the standard edition but I have a taste and I know my rig can easily handle it. I've never flown an Airbus in any prior sim so the fact there's a checklist and I could also give control to the AI Pilot and sit back and watch the view, is something I never thought I needed until now. No, I haven't tried a full flight with ILS just yet, as I'm still getting accustomed to the controls. This is definitely different than FSX for sure. And for those asking why I didn't just get XP11 or P3D, I'm not much into the realism and difficulty of flying a real aircraft. I like (always have) jumping in and going, rather than going thru pages and pages of manuals just to start an engine (cough PMDG cough lol). Simply put, I thought my FSX with Megascenery was "on par" with this, scenery wise; they're not even on the same golf course! I only wish MSFS included at least the 737-800 though. I'll miss my addons I had in X, like the QW 757, GSX, etc., but "out of the box" MSFS is pretty great on its own. That's all I wanted to say for now. Again, I talked crap based only on other user's opinions/complaints, not my own. And for that I am sorry. Now, pass the ketchup for my crow! Peace out.

kevinfolsom Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Welcome to the wonderful world of MSFS 2020! You have a lot of courage admitting this. I still wonder why a few individuals think they have valid opinions on something they have not even tried (I have tried sushi and can give a valid opinion of "I don't care for it"). Granted, they read other peoples opinions (they usually only read the negative opinions) and base their own negative opinions around that and cannot understand why, what I consider the vast majority of people, enjoy it. Most people who do enjoy it don't post anything while the few who have a problem (real or perceived) are very vocal, whether it actually is a problem with the software, their hardware or internet connection. I have not had any of the problems others claim to have. I have had only one CTD and that was in January 2021. I guess I'm the lucky one. My hardware works great for it and I have a very strong and fast internet connection. So good luck to you and keep enjoying it as the vast majority do and if you have any problems or questions, there are many knowledgeable people here to help (which I THINK a forum is for, to help).

I think it has little to do with MSFS per se. My guess is that those who do this -- which is as illogical as writing movie reviews without ever seeing the films, or book reviews without reading the books, relying solely on quotes from others (selectively negative of course) -- have deeper problems.

kingnorris Posted February 24, 2022 Author Share Posted February 24, 2022 Any man that can stand and say I got it wrong oops. is cool in my book...... welcome to 2020 Not the first time either. I stayed away from FSX and was happy as a lark with FS9. When I finally upgraded my old pc (I don’t buy new pcs every couple years lol) I got FSX finally. Here though, I was more harsh with my unfounded criticisms. Guess I just need a beer.

But I am not a psychiatrist and will defer to the experts on this. Nope. Psychiatrist you are not. lol In the past, I would've said it's another user who has stated he is not into realism and likes the pretty graphics. I would've said that this is what MSFS is, a game with pretty graphics and not a flight simulator. I would've also said he hasn't had it long enough to experience all the bugs and graphical problems. However!!! This thread and it's incredibly wise users have taught me to see things differently. I've always been a Star Wars fan. Silly me might've bypassed movies that may be even greater than Star Wars based solely on trailers and reviews without ever watching the full movie. I now feel so silly about this. A sincere thank you to you all. I have learned my lesson. I am going to sit down and start by watching "Zaat." I formed an opinion on it just like MSFS without ever watching the full movie. It could potentially be the best way to ever spend 1 hour 40 minutes of my life and may leave Star Wars in it's dust! What great advice you guys provide. I must go. Gotta watch Zaat and I'm so excited about all the things in life I now realize I may have missed! Thank you all once again! Mark Daniels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g7rta Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Mark, instead of posting an old movie trailer (even if it did make me laugh) what don’t you just try MSFS for yourself? Assuming you have a pc powerful enough to run it of course.

Assuming you have a pc powerful enough to run it of course. Regards Steve Steve, seriously, I don't need too just like I don't need to watch the movie. There is more than ample information on MSFS to understand why I will have no interest in it. Sitting down for 30 seconds to watch the movie would be a waste of 30 seconds of my life so it would be with MSFS. I can see everything I need to see and need to know from the information already out there. Trying MSFS would change nothing. Someone will now ask the ridiculous question of why am I here then? I am here because I follow flight sims good and bad. I follow flight sims I play and do not play. Unlike the other silly examples people have stated, it's no different to having an interest in cars. You don't just read information on the car you own or think is best. Mark Daniels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caphavoc Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Always going to be a pipe dream for this simmer ... (i) NZ South Island rural wireless Internet is advertised as delivering "on average" 29Mbps; (ii) the reality is usually just 10Mbps (enough to get Netflix) most of the time. These speeds are well below ideal to run MSFS (50Mbps). Oh, and yes ... we're also capped (300Gb a month). We chew through 280Gb of data a month just doing the usual day-to-day internet stuff ... so d/ling MSFS and updates/upgrades is just not going to be possible without blowing our monthly usage cap.
