Flight Simulator hands-on: Microsoft looks different 20,000 feet in the air

Man this is so dope.

I'm only going to post the first of this guy's videos. He annoys the hell out of me with all that talking, like most other YouTubers, but he's got a pretty comprehensive look at the sim.

I wonder if it’s going to use the same amount as bandwidth on an Xbox one x as it does on pc

Chasing Storm Isaias in Microsoft Flight Simulator

Real-time weather - or as close to real-time as you can reasonably get - is a key feature here, with data being pulled in from Meteoblue, where observations are combined with complex predictions to get something approaching accuracy. I'm no meteorologist, so I can't speak precisely to its authenticity - and I'm afraid my own methodology when exploring how accurate it is isn't particularly scientific. All I know is that when I went to check the progress of Isaias on smart weather visualization site Windy and tabbed back into Microsoft Flight Sim, it was close enough to not be bothered by the difference.

At low altitude you can just about make out pockets of Virginia, but it's in the heavens where the true spectacle can be found. Three and a half thousand feet up and you can break cloud cover at Isaias' tail, a small pocket of peace where you can see the storm whirl and flash away while you're up above and oblivious to its fury. It's one of what's now running into dozens of moments where Microsoft Flight Sim has made me catch my breath, letting me check in on the phenomenal conditions that are gripping the other side of the world. What a staggering thing this game is turning out to be.

Next gen is already here

@PS4 was right all along

Well Sony stans believe that instead of taking advantage of the cloud and its endless power and possibilities they'd rather developers use those same resources to try to get the most out of a SSD

Here's the wildcard. If developers can do one, I think they can also do the other. The same way Sony wants dev's to create games differently using the SSD the same logic applies to the cloud. The cloud is just a billion times cooler than a single SSD but we'll save logic for another time.

Xbox we aint worthy phil, we aint

It feels like they gave press copies to a fairly wide berth of YouTubers to capture the general audience. I feel like they slighted Jeff Favignano fukking hard for him not to get anything though. You can tell he's salty because he only brought it up in like one video real briefly.

I'm excited for this, but not excited to shell out the money for a PC build and peripherals. Waiting on the next release of CPUs and GPUs for sure, but I might pick up a Lian Li in September or October, and maybe SSD. I'd get a PSU, but with rumors the 3080 needs a 12 pin .

I'm ready!
Gonna get one month of game pass for PC first and then if It runs ok on Ultra on my laptop I'll cop the game.
