Hello All,

New to the sim world and was wondering if the Virtual Fly products (i.e. Yoko and Ruddo pedals) are compatible with MSFS2020. Is there a list of confirmed equipment that will work with the sim? I had read somewhere that some of the (Saitek?) gauges/panels don't work with it.

Hi everyone. I'm going to be building my first flight sim setup and still going back and forth between FS2020 and XPlane. Can someone enlighten be as to what the "bugs" are that are being mentioned? What are the major complaints about FS2020 compared to Xplane? I just want to make sure I start with the right flight sim program.

I'm already leaning toward FS2020, as I want to feel as immersed as possible with the sounds and visuals.

DON'T buy MSFS 2020 without doing research first, it may not be ready to meet your needs.

FSX is tried and tested, P3D likewise. Neither of them affect other games or photo editing software.

Is it because FS2020 is new? It was either that or XPlane.

Hi everyone,

I'm considering building a basic beginner sim set up. I'm going to use an older 37" Samsung TV as my display and want to buy a yoke, throttle quadrant and pedals. I also need to buy the right computer.

What requirements should a computer meet?

-I'm going to buy MS Flight Sim 2020

-I plan on using this computer for photo editing software and playing online games

-If I end up expanding the sim setup, I will be using multiple displays, and building a larger cockpit

I also need advice on the other peripherals.

-For a yoke, I'm consider the Yoko (I know it's pricey) or the Honeycomb (never in stock).

-For a throttle, not sure. I want something that has a great feel (not cheapo) and will fly single and multi-engine planes

-Pedals..again nothing cheap feeling and appropriate for a multitude of planes.

Any other advice would be GREATLY appreciated; caveats, other beginner equipment I'm forgetting and that sort of thing.
