I really want to get a Series S just to play this and Horizon 5 and I hate digital games. That's how good these exclusives look!

I wish I could get a Series S/X I really want to play more flight sim but I've been having so many issues in PC that it doesn't seem worth it.

did I remember correctly that they're releasing a better build for PC alongside this release?

Yes, with the Xbox-driven engine optimizations but still on DX11 — plus the new features

I think some optimization they did around LOD has become controversial though with add-on developers

Just spent an hour watching a live stream of someone playing Flight Sim on Series X. Looks absolutely stunning and smooth. Impressively short load times too. Tuesday can't come soon enough.

Looking forward to buzzing around London, seeing if I can spot my work haha.

I am not a huge flight Sim fan, so will probably play it on easy and just relax. I wonder what the numbers will be like for launch.

Series S keeps showing it is an amazing option for this gen and especially for Game Pass.

I'm curious to find out what PC settings the console ports equate to. If I could have an option to get those Ultra clouds I'd pick it, even at a lower resolution. Got a feeling they are going to be at the High setting max though.

Do we know compatibility for HOTAS or other sticks on the S/X? Was hoping to use my Logitech Extreme 3D Pro on my Series X.

Used to love just flying around taking in the sights in Flight Unlimited back in the day so really looking forward to this as a chilled out game.

I hope we also get normal videos and not just streams, that quality doesn't do it justice.

So far what I can see it looks pretty good.
His New York flight had quite some pop-in but I don't know how PC handles that and all the menu pictures and the loading screens have some weird slow low res to high res loading, that looks weirdly bad, no idea why this is a thing.

Guys, im gonna be a party pooper. Do the console versions not get the updated maps that the PC version gets? That shot of London looks bad and miles off real life

Does this have like an easy free-roam mode where it is less involved / simulatory? I really just want to fly to where I live + places I've been on holiday but not very good at simulators lol

The whole thing is free roam. That's kinda the point - the whole world is there, you can just go do whatever you want.

It's not so much a game, as a platform.

How long are flights on this? I'm guessing flying London to Berlin isn't going to take me an hour of real time etc
