  • Taking a deep dive into the new Microsoft Flight Simulator! FS2020 has been one of my most-anticipated releases in a long time, what an absolute technical achievement. It's got its quirks and limitations, no doubt about it, but this is a flight sim with a bright future!
    This review was made using a copy of the game I bought myself. Not sponsored, no payments or codes received, all opinions are my own.

      Specs aren't wild tho. I mean, a new-ish gen upper level laptop can run it with decent trim. The thing that's really killer here is the memory (not ram) and because of how it works, if your MOBO spec is not up to the task of fast reading, you're probably better off buying an SSD just for this game to upset that problem. To be read (not for ultra-conditions, just decent play/views).

      Close enough.

    I wonder how far they will go with the aircraft in this game eventually. Although there would be copyright issues galore, they could potentially support a very wide range of aircraft from the Wright brothers' Flyer to the F-35 or the Space Shuttle, or even more exotic things like X-Wings from Star Wars, Proco Rosso's plane, Arwings from Star Fox, or even Harry Potter's Nimbus 2000. If you're only flying around, you might as well do so in style, although aerodynamics would probably punish you pretty badly in some cases.

    It's a truely ground-breaking product which, for the most part looks spectacular. They've done a magnificent job with not only the terrain but also with the weather and I think I'm even more impressed with the clouds and icing than I am with the Bing maps.
    However, none of this stopped me from getting a refund this morning for it. There's no documentation. Zero - zilch - and while this is entirely okay for a casual sim it's completely inexcusable for a product as potentially complex and indepth as this. And I say 'potentially' with good reason - if you want to play in a cessna or some of the other simple props, and you want to do short flights over specific areas or play the curated missions, it's fine - fantastic even. But if you want to fly the jets or turboprops. If you want to follow procedures? Forget it. Use navigation aids? No tutorials. Do the nav aids even work? In some aircraft. If you've loaded a flight plan before you started. If you want to enter a flight plan on the navigation computers? Maybe. Depends on the plane. Or if you can work out how. Want to look up freqs for airport comms or navigation beacons while in flight? Forget it. Want to do it with the aircraft navigation systems? Maybe - depends on the plane. Or if it's broken.
    Then forget about doing long flights in multiple stages. Loading in save games locks out the weather tab, and you get stuck on 'clear skies' which renders flights just boring. Other loading of saved games put me in a parking spot physically on top of a duplicate of my own plane.

    We got volleyball and ping-pong
    And a lot of dandy games!

    We get packages from home
    We get movies, we get shows
    We get speeches from our skipper
    And advice from Tokyo Rose
    We get letters doused with air-fuel
    We get dizzy from the smell!
    What don't we get?
    You know darn well!
    We have nothin' to put on a clean white suit for
    What we need is what there ain't no substitute for...
    There is nothin' like a plane
    Nothin' in the world
    There is nothin' you can name
    That is anythin' like a plane!
    We feel restless, we feel blue
    We feel lonely and in grief
    We feel ev'ry kind of feelin'
    But the feelin' of relief
    We feel hungry as the wolf felt
    When he met Red Hiding-Hood
    What don't we feel?
    We don't feel good!
    Lots of things in life are beautiful, but brother
    There is one particular thing that is nothin' whatsoever
    In any way, shape or form like any other
    There is nothin' like a plane
    Nothin' in the world
    There is nothin' you can name
    That is anythin' like a plane!
    Nothin' else is built the same
    Nothin' in the world
    As the soft aluminium frame
    Like the silhouette of a plane
    There is absolutely nothin' like a frame of a plane
    So suppose that plane ain't right
    Are completely free from flaws
    Or as faithful as a bird dog
    Or as kind as Santa Claus
    It's a waste of time to worry
    Over things that they have not
    Be thankful for the things they got!
    There is nothin' you can name
    That is anythin' like a plane!
    There are no flight-books like a plane
    And nothin' looks like a plane
    There are no drinks like a plane
    And nothin' thinks like a plane
    Nothin' acts like a plane
    Or attracts like a plane
    There ain't a thing that's wrong with any man here
    That can't be cured by pullin' him near
    A flying, wonderful, effin', fabulous plane!
    Too much time on my hands? Absolutely!

    The Karman line, i.e. the boundary between earth's atmosphere and space, is typically defined as the altitude of 100 km. Regardless of that convention, Theodore Karman himself calculated that the atmosphere becomes too thin to support flight at an altitude of 83.6 km or about 275000 feet. So that maximum altitude does make sense after all, and isn't some arbitrary number!

    I'd personally love to see "flight damage/malfunctions" as an add-on. Not even modeling, necessarily (although THAT would be amazing), just if I fly through a freakin' hurricane, I want my instrument panel to light up with warnings and my craft to start flying like it's waterlogged with half a wing torn off. Or if I skip pre-flight checks enough times, an ever increasing chance of my hydraulics or landing gear having issues working.
    It seems like it'd fit in nicely with FS' vision of "realistic sandbox simulator" and also provide a lot more for pilots to do, especially groups of pilots in multiplayer - just try to tell me you and your friends wouldn't be chasing hurricanes to see who can get closest and/or land safest with the most catastrophic damage, and the mid-air collision would be even more fun if your control panel lit up red and you started flying around like your plane was blind drunk.

      i mean, this microsoft tech pales in comparison to the new voxel space engines, and a planet is not a gameplay mechanic by itself. Earth simulators were already a thing years ago, and yeah, even more detailed than the microsoft one, they re generally licensed by military sim companies, but some of the companies that make them, originally made them for games

    In case you weren't aware, this is also one of the only games i've seen that actually makes use of the Pause key for its intended function! Hitting the Pause key freezes the plane in place while letting the simulation continue. Great for using the drone or other camera modes to try and capture photos!

      Older strategic games also used it in 1990s (particularly Age of Empires). Nevers seen it used since then!
