Microsoft FlightSim 2020

I’m pretty sure it will not have VR support on release.

[Friar]

best dust off the old track IR then - unless they expect you to hit keys to look left and right etc. or move the mouse i suppose

 

[DD_Arthur]

Apparently there is a work around for TrackIr at the moment but it involves third-party software.  At least it means it should not be too much of a problem for it to be supported 'officially.'

[PropNut]

No TrackiR or VR  Pretty though. I was all set to buy in but...no pretty pretty 3D. 

[fruitbat]

Track ir support is in the latest build.

To be honest the last thing I need is yet another sim (but it looks pretty good)

Got it going around midnight with just the very basics mapped to my MSFFB2 and graphics settings not touched at all.  TrackIr worked fine as did new Nvidia drivers released today with support for this sim.  Exeter to Dunkeswell via Sidmouth - a flight I’ve made many times in various light aircraft. Astonishing 😎.

No piccies yet....

Took off from Staverton airport near Gloucester at about 1900 local time in the twin engined Diamond.

Picked up the M5 motorway and followed it north towards Worcester with the River Severn and the Malvern Hills on my left....all very good looking and familiar. Flew over Upton Marina with all the boats moored up, over Worcester (minus the cathedral) and over Droitwich Spa. I could recognise the layout and the street mapping is very accurate....my place is there although it is still pre 2017 when the Oso salt works was a cleared area.

Flew back to Staverton in a very nice light with the sun going down behind the Malverns. Approached the airport over the motorway and landed, taxied to the hanger area where there were ground crew batoning me in. Switched off. Staverton is very well modelled and is an accurate portrayal of the airport, even down to me being directed to the correctly placed luggage handling area.

All in all, I am impressed and am looking to getting some more hours in.

For those having install issues I hope you do manage to get it installed because it is worth it.

Woke up this morning to grotty weather here so decided to take a quick flip around Dunkeswell - our local GA airfield = in real time weather. 

Note the proximity of two other abandoned airfields.   Apologies for the sound, I think the game is slightly bugged at the moment.

I like that twin engined Diamond, it's what I spend most of my time in

[Friar]

You didn't strafe the traffic as you went past!

[fruitbat]

Its a step in the right direction.... but its still sub sonic!

[DD_Arthur]

More sub-sonicness on it's way
