After a good night sleep, I come to the forum and see that my why-a-duck has almost declared a duck war 😄 ! Just kidding !  (Note to Avsim : please add a duck emoji, chick or turkey won’t do).

The baseline is always changing for the best, Alan, Hughes, I agree. When I land into a non-Orbx airport without all the animated characters, I find it missing a « je ne sais quoi ».

In another hand, and that is true in any profession, there is a time you have to release the darned product.  If you are a perfectionist, you cringe at the idea as you see how better it could be with a few days more. But you have to release.

Birds in flocks migrating over the Gironde estuary, I am all for it. But they are not the main feature of the Fall season. They could come in the process of upgrade. I understand that the dev said it tongue in cheek. He could have said falling leaves (wouldn’t that be pretty too ?) . 

Blowing snow yes, if there is snow in the first place. By the way, the KTNP delightful addon has a dust wind.

Slap an “experimental” label on it and you’re good to go.

I suppose an occasional Go-around because birds on or near the runway would be a kind of cool immersion.

Absolutely, I would also say a deer crossing the runway. But the question is, do we need that they know how to synchronize bird migratory patterns before having Fall/winter foliage and snow accumulation ? Again, I am well aware that the Asobo guy spoke of ducks  tongue-in-cheek but the question to what extent do we need minuscule details at the expense of not having seasons ?

Well the good news is that you won't have to do that. The bad news is that you haven't read about this already...

Don't confuse the X-Box Gamepass (which allows one to play any game in the catalog, and the option to simply purchase MSFS directly. There will be two options; choose the one you want.

So... buy only the MSFS2020... 

The XBOX Game Pass is a service that provides a big library of games to the service subscribers. If you want a specific game, don't subscribe to this service and just buy that game.

It sounds like what they're trying to say is; on game pass you can essentially try them all before buying, in a sense? Or just have them all via subscription?

I think the take away is that they're trying to get all those first time users in to the FS arena maybe?

3 options for you, since usually Game Pass users can also buy the games for a reduced price

1) You buy the game normally
2) You pay for the Game pass ---> you can play the 100 games or so, including MSFS
3) Having paid for the Game Pass, you can still buy MSFS on its own with a small discount
