I would say them specs are substantially lower than what a lot of so called expert's were claiming.

Okay, thanks. The specs are very reasonable but if this is the major "save the date" discovery, I'm really disappointed. I was expecting a release date 😞

Why would simtom troll, he's an tech alpha insider and MS recently thanked him for his dedication and efforts.

And how exactly should I know that? I don't spend 20 hours a day checking on who's an alpha insider and who's not.

I wish they included what resolutions those specs are tied to.

My specs are somewhere between recommended and ideal.

Thanks for posting that. I’m going to pin it for a while.

Should I rename the thread title? To MSFS Required Specs?

Former MSFS Alpha Tester, current member of the MSFS Stream Team.

Since the trailers and what not all advertise 4K I was assume 'ideal' gives a good experience at 4K. It would also seem you need 50mbps internet to get the highest scenery level and in turn, you would need 32GB of ram to facilitate the highest scenery level.

P3Dv4 + XP11

If they are releasing specs, then they are quite advanced in development, aren't they?
