    Seeing how good the default scenery and airports are (some just as good or even better than current pay ware ones) as a primary GA guy, you will have thousands of airports to explore for years to come in the standard addition. On the other hand, if you primarily fly the big stuff with or without ATC, I can realize why you want as much detail as possible flying in and out of the larger cities and going for the higher priced editions.

    You need to concentrate on the speed of the main processor (CPU) and the graphics card memory. I’m not familiar with gaming laptops, but the graphics card is going to be the main limiting factor in a laptop (I think). Others are sure to chime in.

    Yup, no way Microsoft is monitoring PC specs before purchase. Hope everything works out for the OP.

    Unfortunately COVID-19 fixed the pilot shortage. I have a number of young commercial pilot friends. The youngest got signed on with Air Canada about 2 weeks before this pandemic hit. He was told that it will be 2-3 years before he will sit behind the flight deck. On the other side, I have a friend with top seniority who was flying the 787 Dreamliner regularly before COVID. He is now flying 1 or 2 times a month! Big changes in the airline industry!

    Especially the elephants!

    Very interesting concept and ideas guys! I certainly wouldn’t rule it out for the future. I don’t think anyone could have imagined (say 5 years ago) what we have been observing in the previews for FS2020. I was blown away yesterday watching the videos of all the animals (up close) in 2020, especially the elephants. Time and technology will take us to a point where we will be able to flip in and out of air, land and sea transportation within a combined simulator platform.

    So very, very true. Microsoft really did their homework searching out the best partners possible to blend this technology together. If only everyone realized the years of effort behind the scenes to make this version possible with such a leap in realism, I think there would be even fewer people drawing attention to minor issues that some seem compelled to not let go. This is a landmark point in flight simulation history/evolution that has introduced a touch of awe in everyone ... and to think this is Version 1.0!

    Absolutely brilliant and well narrated!

    I’m no expert on the details of PC specs, but the detail I have seen on videos taken from low end computers has been quite impressive. If you can get the clouds on high to ultra, the remainder looks very good even dialed to low!

    Seeing some of the previews, I think I could be tempted very easily to start flying the heavies again in my favourite paint! Cheers guys!

    Nice! And over speed and descending according to the airspeed and vertical speed gauges.

    Very unique paint indeed. Definitely adds another perspective to the flight!

    They don’t get any better than that! Very professional!

    That is very cool shot!

    I was quite impressed how good the sim looks on the low settings with an average computer. Cloud realism really needs to be set to high or ultra though.

    Having learned to fly in a Cessna 172, I will be keen to feel the flight dynamics and just see how real a VFR flight feels.

    I know exactly what the OP is eluding too. There are plenty of developers working on new a/c for FS2020 and it is just a matter of time when you will have your old favourites back in the sky like the good old days.

    Blueprint of my timeline plus switching to X-Plane. I’ll be going to FS2020 but also keeping X-Plane.

    Yes it was SubLogic! Check out the video in my signature!

    Very cool Doug! Congrats! I started with FS 4.0. Please check out my new trailer on the history of Flight Simulator. Should trigger some great memories. Really enjoying the research and putting this together!
  21. doering1
    You may be interested in the Flight Simulator history video series I am working on. Uploaded the trailer a couple of days ago.
  22. doering1
    I posted this on the Outer Marker, but perhaps it is better posted here. Working on an in depth historical account of all the FS versions. This is the trailer.
  23. doering1
    The trailer for my latest in depth video project.
  24. doering1
    Very good! I’m pretty sure this new release will get an impressive Wow from many wives this time! All prepared in this household :-)

    Those screen shots look top notch!
