Can't wait to welcome you all!

Eh, I still do not have 32GB of RAM in my PC, so I hold no hope of actually getting into any alpha waves.  I signed up on day one but I've long since given up hope.

 

On a more positive note, those gifs are stunning.  This sim is going to be a dream to fly in.

Now, isn't this nicer than some NDA-Breaking potato-Pics?

Have you guys still access to "my profile" at the flight insider website?

Noone has commented on the snow flakes animated GIF yet? This looks almost too realistic to me :-).

Great to see lit up floors in office towers in the Citylights.png screenshot, however, I find the patterns there could be a bit more random, it looks a bit too 'clustered' at this stage.

If the flight model of the Cub or the Caravan is on par with the quality of the scenery we see in these pics, FS20 is gonna be a bushflyer’s wet dream.

Now  we need that MS gives us a clip of a flight with a reputable tester at the yoke commenting the FDE. The alternative would be the said reputable tester breaching the NDA to tell us about it. Unthinkable, no reputable tester would do that (ok, I am outta here 😇).

Beautiful.  The gifs really demonstrate active dynamic wx really well. Night lighting looks much improved too.   150 3PDs working with the new SDK is really encouraging.   Must be alot of excitement in the dev community. 

Still no way to update the dxdiag though. Is it gone?

Is it me or in the night shots we can see the red lights of the cars? and some green lights also... amazing!

As they said in the last update, night lighting was noticeably enhanced. Think X-plane, but better.

I was chomping at the bit with the news, so it's nice they released a pic and now everyone can be excited.

Default scenery baby!

I guess no more boring waiting at cruising altitude. Looking at the weather and scenery is so fascinating by itself!

Hope the ATC will be as realistic as this! Like listening to voices with different accents from the controllers and pilots.... Or am I wishing for too much? It is possible though... *Wink to developers.....

Yeah. It could be out of an open world sandbox game.

If you think about it, something like this was really needed. You need that level of detail to do proper VFR flying. This might be a sim that is able to train your real life VFR flights. Even if some landmarks are missing, the landscape overall is detailed enough I guess.
