Microsoft Flight Simulator | The Power of the Cloud(s) (PC, Xbox Series X|S, The Cloud)

Think I'ma finally give this a shot, truthfully wasn't interested but I keep hearing its not only realistic but also really relaxing

It's fun, though it's probably incomplete playing on a controller.

Anyone?

I'm the settings I added b5 button as alternate landing gear button and it worked. Does this mean my shyt broken? Thanks in advance, daps and firm gripped handshakes

shyt I had to back out for a couple days. Been busy af.

Your shyt ain't broken. You do have to go into the mapping and manually assign the buttons. Even though they say they do certain things for some reason they don't do what they say but when you go in and manually assign the button or whatever it's fine. I found that out through research.

Wait a minute…
You have to pay extra for improved graphics on the airports?
Kind of Sony port remaster nonsense is this?

for improved, handcrafted, models of those airports

the game has a map that's literally the size of the world. most of it is created using algorithms and satellite images. this results in a lot of structures not looking like their real life counterparts. for some areas they've gone back and handcrafted the models to fix this. the Standard Edition has 30 handcrafted airports. the Deluxe Edition has 5 more (35 total), and Premium has 5 more (40 total)

So in less words…
Pay more for better graphics or nah?

Are you going to be frequently flying out of those airports or using those aircraft? If no, don't waste your money.

Do not buy that . I bought that shyt for $13.99 and it was a waste of money

Edit: I thought you were referencing one of the airport installs that’s in the store

No. You’re right. I’m talking about that 14$ one

 

[Kamikaze Revy]

That makes more sense. I can accept that.
Wish they went the route Bethesda did with the skyrim mods/dlc (which if I recall correctly were all free …or at least the most important ones were free).

 

[Kamikaze Revy]

I’m enjoying seeing the world from a different perspective and can appreciate the change of pace in terms of gaming.
At this time I don’t see this being a regular game in my rotation for very long though. Cool for now but I see it wearing a bit thin already for me.

mfs love moving them goalposts

There's really no goalposts to move on this. That's the flight sim monetization model, paying for airports, scenery, and aircraft. The difference this time around is the base simulator is higher fidelity than what's been done in the past. So now there's less incentive to pay for an airport unless you fly into or out of it frequently. The basic version of the game will suffice for the vast majority of people new to the series.
