While I admit slightly off topic, the reason for the quiz was to highlight what Nels Anderson pointed out re the name; simply calling it Microsoft Flight Simulator will not suffice. As Nels said a convention will develop over time.

Incidentally the answer re which version of Microsoft Flight Simulator the scenery (Instrument Pilot's Scenery East U.S.) was for is also printed on the ring binder:

"For use with

Microsoft Flight Simulator

(Version 3 or newer)

and SubLOGIC

Flight Assignment: A.T.P."

Back on topic regarding what rig will run the new MFS (Nels Anderson nomenclature) we will have to wait and suck it and see, but if not running in cached mode internet download speed will obviously be critical. At the moment there are just too many variables to make a prediction.

Variables such as what is a minimum acceptable frame rate: 12.5 FPS ? 30 FPS ?

Are you running cached or in cloud download mode?

What features are turned on and at what complexity?

I guess we will just have to wait and see.

I just pulled a ring binder from my book shelf, it's entitled:

Instrument Pilot's Scenery

East U.S.

IBM Compatibles

for use with

Microsoft Flight Simulator

Who can guess what version of Microsoft Flight Simulator it's for?

Two clues

1 it's by subLOGIC

2 The Jeppesen approach charts came in a ring binder, the software on a 3-1/2" disk

Does any body know more about the slated sim?

see:

"Microsoft Flight Simulator should evoke some nostalgic feelings for long-time PC gamers and Microsoft is bringing it back with some cutting-edge visuals in a brand new game.

Microsoft dropped the announcement about a new Flight Simulator during their E3 2019 showcase. Watch the announcement trailer below to get a glimpse of this new game."

Any of you gals or guys in the know?
