Yeah I’d love to see it on GeForce Now.

Thanks. I played MSFS2020 in VR. It's an amazing VR game.

I agree. They absolutely should. MSFS deserves maximum reach, enough with the exclusive nonsense.

Amazing quality, had it myself for a short time but the stick doesn't twist unfortunately

That would be my dream flight stick. It's too expensive for me, though.

Meanwhile...there are so many amazing flightsticks out there. Star Citizen gave that industry a huuuge bump.

Care to share these flightsticks?

Yeah seems like we just preloaded the launcher, lol. Same old Flight Sim in that regard.

Can't wait to try this out. Will probably subscribe to gamepass for this. Have never played flying sims before, but I love flying around in gta games and love simulators like gt7, so hopefully I also like this.

I have GamePass but have bought the Premium Deluxe edition. This is the one game I'll always support having played it since FS98.
I would love it to be on GeForce Now, but something tells me that they only put games up on their cloud service they know can run at max settings. I think this is to make them look good, which to be honest it does! I've yet to come across a game where I had to turn down a setting.
I also think that whilst GFN really excels with the 4080, their CPU leaves a lot to be desired which is where a game like FS would bring it to it's knees in the built up areas. CPU is king in games like these...

This is another game I always buy as well to support them making future flight sim games

I'm hopefully, quite a few of MS first party games have come to GeForce Now. However, Forbes have had to recently correct an article they wrote suggesting that GeForce Now would support MS2024, which was incorrect.
‘Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024’ Will Get Day One DLSS 3 Support
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 will benefit from a host of graphics-smoothing technologies from Nvidia upon its launch next week.

I've got a Virpil flight stick and throttle and a set of VKB pedals. They're expensive for video game controllers, but I upgraded from much cheaper kit (CH Products, still pretty good) when I was sure I'd be getting a lot of use out of them.
Even with a cheaper all-in-one unit, I'd recommend getting a set of rudder pedals instead of relying on the twist grip. Makes the single biggest difference to your flight sim experience, imo.
Had to buy separate desk mounts from Monstertech - they come with desktop feet, but the joystick in particular can't be used on a tabletop (you'd be holding it at shoulder height).

I think I will get my warthog HOTAS out for this, if the gameplay loops they've made are well done, this might be the GOAT of commercial flight sims.

On the contrary, it should be dramatically improved (unless everything we've heard is a lie of course, could be..).
- Install size is now only a third of 2020's
- Not only is the install size a third of 2020, now 2024 is also multithreaded (most of the install and update time in 2020 was due to the process of the CPU working on decompressing downloaded files)
- They've completely reworked the whole process exactly because they got so many complaints about it.
50GB

Very cool.
The game has decent support for that kind of hardware?

I have to imagine that the 50GB will be a minimum install size. Hopefully we will have the option to cache a bunch of data and not be constantly pulling from the cloud.On the contrary, it should be dramatically improved (unless everything we've heard is a lie of course, could be..).

It's about 50GB for everyone, BUT, yes, optionally you can indeed:
1. Buy stuff outside the marketplace and install it locally.
2. Optionally choose whatever location/region and size to download/cache locally when flying.
So it's all good!
Edit: It updated automatically precisely at 17:00 here. Impressive, lol.
Wait, it's downloading 11.9GB

Yep...supports everything. TrackIR, VR, HOTAS...everything a nerd can dream of. Setting this shit up (once) to your likes can be a bit annoying...but than its just smooth "flying".

Moza just released their own system. I find it crazy that most others don't have force feedback.

50GB for me, but my preload was only 300MB so it never actually preloaded.

It's says 50GB at the start, but it downloads only 11.9GB. At least that's how it looks like here.. Probably 50GB after decompressing.

Marketplace currently isn’t available, everything I had downloaded previously says it is being streamed but any purchases made will be available soon. Seems like a cleaner version of 2020 so far with the menus.
