Even if not into flight sims, one must recognize the amazing technical achievement... the level of detail and precision of everything is simply astonishing !
It makes any other "realistic" game look like children's toys.
Undying
This can be fun for like 30min.

I can avoid using crappy MS store that is broken and not working 90% of time giving up random errors without way to fix them? Yes please STEAM ALL THE WAY BABY!

No real surprise about that. Was holding off on this just to get an idea of either how resource hungry or buggy the game actually was, yes I've played previous MS FS games, so was more than a little wary about what the TRUE specs needed to play it are going to be. Saying that I don't think my system will have any issues running the game at 1080p based on the info in that pic.

I highly doubt the 3070 will match a 2080Ti, that would be a 2070 + 50% performance uplift. Maybe the 3070 will match the 2080S.
IMO, the 3080 and 3090 (or 3080Ti, whatever it will be) won't shine at 1080p, as they will be CPU bound in most games, they will come into their own from 1440p onwards.
As for the simulators frame rate, I really hope that is just a result of the sim being in beta and using early drivers, for both Nvidia and AMD.
I mean I'll have a little cry if I don't get 4k/60fps on a 9900k + 2080S 😉

9900k at 5ghz, 4266mhz 32gb ram, OC 2080 ti = between 45 - 60 fps in 3440x1440 ultra

I wonder if having only 4 cores has something to do with the lowering the FPS on the 2080s

Thats pretty long even.

With those system specs needed and the price of game, it will be cheaper to take a real airline flight and just look out the window 😀

Haha Ive searched the youtube and found ObsidianAnts video called "Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 - Performance & Graphics Settings" and I can tell you 2080ti 4k 60fps at ultra is DEFFO not happening, it had 30 fps while flying under the bridge at high... so. That performance is very poor. I hope it improves a lot.

I hear that if you really want to play at a smooth framerate with Ultra Details (especially Textures) at 3840x2160, a video card with 11GB RAM won't quite cut it.
Hopefully the next Generation of Video cards will have a minimum of 12GB of RAM, ideally more.

Imagine they simulate a forest fire and you are tasked with water bombing it with either a DC-10 or CL-415, there is an idea 😀

Every time I see a post about MS FS all I think about is a remake of Combat Flight Sim... Just remake the game with modern HD graphics, it would sell a bucket load.

That would indeed be something worth playing, recall using hours playing dogfights with friends.
There are good alternatives nowadays, but CFS did kind of set the standard.

The store works every time though 😱
Using any apps to set Windows privacy settings, some anti virus which might block it or behind an ISP that messes it up?
Else the official support to repair the store:

This might be the first game i purchase on microsoft store rather than steam.... microsoft store has shown to be very efficent on how it handles updates and installs so ill give it a try with flight sim 2020
