    I am playing on XBSX, and not a single load screen, let that be known too. I flew from Vancouver to PG and it took a couple hours and zero load screen. Today I flew full Storm Weather from Victoria to Vancouver and in this heavy demand Weather rain lightnings thunders galore ⛈🌩⚡⛈ and zero loadscreens zero studder zero issues... just flat out drama.. yes DRAMA man the thunder banging the bolts and sheets of lighting the zero visibility 93% of the flight. I decided to go above the storm clouds for a peek at the calm stary heavens above, the milky way always looks amazing.. well done Microsoft. Then I dipped back down below into the heavy stormy Weather to land in Vancouver and thankfully I did land on second attempt. I never crashed, I just needed to abort first attempt because of strong heavy pushing cross winds. The real second attempt I made it, I landed. Maybe it was the 3rd attempt, because I think the very first was just a fly by I did, so I guess that could be counted 🌖as an attempt 🛩 too 😐😑😐

      Prince George BC (n Central BC).
      I chose not to follow the flight plan that the game / copilot would switch to in a heart beat if I click the left thumb stick for a menu, that gives controls to the copilot. Anyway from Vancouver Airport (YVR) I chose to fly over Hwy #1 known as Trans Canada Hwy from Van to Hope BC (Hope bc is where the first Rambo movie was filmed). Then I followed the Fraser River that links many towns and goes right through the Cariboo district including PG.
      Ps, that Fraser River is pretty awesome, and it is 1,375 kilometers long, starts in the Canadian Rockies and flows through Central bc's towns and the exciting Fraser Canyon and has a part known as Hells Gate then exiting into the Pacific Ocean at the Straight of Georgia... in Vancouver BC.

    The fact that Asobo was able to pull it off getting flight sim to run on consoles is utterly impressive. I run it on my PC but hey it looks great on both those consoles too. Great alternative for those who don't have a powerful PC and want to experience one of the best and most innovated sims ever created. Nothing like hopping in a seaplane and taking a flight to Antigua at sunset and seeing the breathtaking visuals.

    I've downloaded this game/sim on series x today but the graphics are terrible in big city locations.. what download speed is ideal for this to run as it should ? Or dose it need faster upload speed ?? I've only got my phone for Internet connection ATM, hotsop it's works perfectly fine with any other game online but I'm having trouble with this flight simulator ...
