this is what i'm worried about
you need a fairly high end video card to run x-plane 11 at around 25-30 fps on max graphics
let's use a gtx 1080 for example
i have no idea if it's possible for FS2020 to run at 60+ fps on max graphics with a gtx 1080
i am hoping it can do that with a gtx 1070 since that is what i have
it's just all so unclear right now but the recommended video card is a gtx 970 and THAT is the only thing giving me a pinch of hope

In that Digital Foundry video, they were getting around 40 fps at 1080p/High with a 1060 and an i5. I'm guessing a 1080 should surpass 60 and maybe a 1070 could be able to pull off around 60 fps at those same settings.
As for max graphics, it does look like Ultra settings really tank the framerates and is very CPU-bound on those settings, but there are lots of custom graphics settings....even then, DF is saying the High looks pretty close to Ultra with a much better framerate.
The video I'm referring to is this one, by the way;

Really cool fan video.
Also, anybody here in the preview? Can you tell me what the Activities/Challenges are like?
I think the game has great potential in that area. Especially if it's something like, "Fly from point A to point B during inclement weather with only so much fuel or dealing with one engine going out, .etc. Choose how much cargo and fuel you load up. But get extra points for how much cargo and fuel you have once you reach your destination."
Stuff like that. Also, a career mode would be cool as well. I just think things like that would draw more of the casual crowd and maybe convince them into getting into the more sim like content.
Also, challenges with multiplayer could be tons of fun.
Anything like that?

Honestly, I wonder if they'll ever have the ability to run into the kind of anvil cloud that destroyed Air France 447. Maybe that would be considered not nice?

If this game doesn't get 95/100 on Metacritic that's the final proof of the corruption in gaming media.

Air France 447 was pilot error.

I think TLOU2 proved that (94% Meta).

Of course, it's so woke. Flight Simulator is not woke, it's mainly going to appeal to men, so let's give it 60/100.

This game is looking amazing on PC. Does anyone think this is going to launch on Xbox One or Series X this year or will they try to give the PC a year head start?

Asobo have prohibited streaming and live plays during this early preview phase. Thats why no one is streaming.

That answer was given couple of days ago after a guy asked if after the release date there's some streaming days of FS on twitch (they have alredy tried the game)

A question. My lad wants this game badly and to be honest, so do I but i'm on the fence..
Does anyone reckon the £109.99 edition is actually worth it?

If you are on the fence why don't you just get 10$ gamepass for a month and try it out?

Holy freaking crap that is unbelievable... I was like, no way dawg, I'll def be able to tell... My jaw dropped.
Most next gen thing I've seen by a wide margin.
Freaking flight simulator.

Yes after release. Same with fighter jets and stoof.

You'll need gamepass ultimate to be able to play on both the PC and console if I'm not mistaken.

I honestly was never fooled by a videogame like in the first few seconds of that video.
Later when he flys between the buildings it looks artificial again, which is I think mainly because of lack of window reflections and general model fidelity.
But man that lighting engine is impeccable.

Go Go Neo Rangers!
I believe this is correct as its not a Play anywhere title yet since its not on on Xbox.

And they haven't even added RT yet... I can't quite wrap my head around it really.

I hope to god they add DLSS support with RT too, or gaming PCs around the world will implode.

Honestly, what I want to see from next gen other than greater texture variety, density, transitions and unique npc character models etc, is 1:1 scale environments. I don't know if Spiderman is or isn't as I haven't played it, but man, I just think 1:1 scale stuff would be stellar. For instance, actual 1:1 scale mountains in Skyrim would be freaking epic.

Aye, I have ultimate until next year
