Birdman Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 Anybody knows if there will be a playable demo? I remember FSX had one and it was useful to see how well the computer could handle it.

Not sure if it will be the same price in August, but the normal price is $5. That would be a good way to test for cheap. 1

SYN_Vander Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 (edited) The big question is ... will there be Trackir support? I'm an MS FS 2020 alpha tester, but since there is no trackir or vr support, I hardly touched it. Beautiful graphics or not (and yes, it is gorgeous!), it's as if you have been teleported to the nineties! Using thumb stick to look around....ugghhh! Edited July 13, 2020 by SYN_Vander 1 2
RedKestrel Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 2 hours ago, AndyJWest said: So, $59.99, $89.99, $119.99 USD, for the three versions (20, 25 & 30 aircraft, 30, 35 & 40 'handcrafted international airports'). Not bad. Even the standard version has a nice mix of aircraft, though I had to Google a couple. I shall definitely be preordering, though I'm not sure yet which to go for. I've seen elsewhere people complaining about the pricing but it all seems very reasonable to me for a high fidelity sim. Civilian flight sims aren't my cup of tea but it looks pretty stunning visually.

An engineer on the TrackIR forums confirmed upcoming support, it seems: https://forums.naturalpoint.com/viewtopic.php?t=18933&p=70334 1

dburne Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 Hope they add VR support at some point down the line, I will not be purchasing until if and when they do. 1
ZachariasX Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 Bought the big pack. I guess I need to escalate my SSD array at some point...

Bremspropeller Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 Will the super-mega-pro pack come with a random virus that puts half the virtual airlines into administration, too? If not, then that's not realistic for a 2020 flight-simulator... 2
Stoopy Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 Ooo! Ooo! This gonna be a hot seller... I don't know about youse guys but I'm gonna hurry up and get my preorder in now before they run out of downloadable copies!!! Don't wanna end up the way I did with no toilet paper! 2 2
silvergun Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 Hi The comparative tables. Aircraft and airports, respectively. 1 3
Redwo1f Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 Hey it is nice to see the standard edition to be $59.99 USD! (was expecting $10-$20 more) - idk if that was original plan or it is a reflection of taking into account the global economy right now, but pleasantly surprised. ?

Don't wanna end up the way I did with no toilet paper! if this was an old school flight sim it would ship to your house with a 20lb paper manual and it would solve both your flight sim and toilet paper problems at once. /I never played Falcon 4 but from the look of the manual it would pass for 2-ply in a pinch 22 minutes ago, Bremspropeller said: Will the super-mega-pro pack come with a random virus that puts half the virtual airlines into administration, too?

I am interested in seeing how the non-"hand-crafted" airports look though. Especially since I'm not a big fan of the big airliners and like hopping about onto smaller airports in prop planes. 1

Yeah I will watch what I get with the bug one. And see if I can do with standard Yep 3 of those extra planes are cool. Need the big pack
Tycoon Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 Do we know how detailed the aircraft are? Full fidelity? partial systems? basic stick and throttle? I'm exited for this but there is no way I'm getting the big package until I know exactly what we are getting.
Guest deleted@83466 Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 Tycoon, just like all the franchise before it, I'm guessing the study-sim level planes will all be produced by third parties.
Enceladus828 Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 I greatly like the 787-10 and the Citation Longitude, so that's why I'm leaning towards Premium.

From what I can remember of the older ones this should still be pretty good, assuming you're leaving out microsoft flight. So they have confirmed there will be 3rd party? have they said which ones?
Stoopy Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 "Play Microsoft Flight Simulator and over 100 more high-quality PC games on Windows 10 for one low monthly price with Xbox Game Pass for PC (Beta)." So, what's the added monthly cost for this XBox Game Pass for PC?

Tektolnes Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 Insta-buy. Just wish they would get the finger out to support TrackIR. I get that VR implementation could be hard but TrackIR should be trivial to get in there. Hope it's there for release in August but I wouldn't be optimistic at this point.

Those mountains are just amazing.

Lusekofte Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 (edited) I am very disappointed they did not make the caravan. I really liked flying that plane. Damn. They did a lot of small crafts in that list Edited July 13, 2020 by 216th_LuseKofte
CanadaOne Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 I'm buying the biggest fattest version possible. I'm not sure I understood the options though, is there a way to buy it now and fly the beta now?

I haven't been chosen - I think it's pretty competitive.

I don't really care about the planes, I just want those airports.
Tycoon Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 Honestly $1 to try it out for a month on launch is a pretty good deal, hopefully that means they have confidence it will be a good product that people will want to buy. Also for you guys buying the premium edition for airports wouldn't it be better to wait and see what the standard version of the airports looks like? From what we have seen in videos the non special airports look pretty good as well.

As a highly qualified and fully accredited map slut, I want every blade of grass, every painted door handle, and every bit of garbage on the ground this sim has to offer. I think the HD airports will look great.
