we will have FULL REAL WORLD WEATHER

The sim will have weather, but is the real time weather provided by a partner through DLC, or is it included with the base sim? The last few updates about this are somewhat fuzzy regarding the details.  It seems that the updates to the navigation database are DLC provided by a partner, so I've been wondering about what will really be delivered to me on 18 August.

it's included

I know we all looooove to speculate on things we really don't know anything about,  and I'm no exception:-) 

I'm wondering if the "+ Offers in-app purchases" will be things like Navblue, MeteoBlue and Flight aware, since there's no mention of them in any of the three versions.?.

Chris, do you notice anything in these sims other than minor bridge defects?? 🙂

Solid walls underneath bridges?? :blink: That's basic stuff that needs to be sorted out before the product can be released.

.... I just bought P3D v5 yesterday! Oh well.

 

Anyone else wish other regions also got the physical disc release?

Well there we have the reason for the premature release of P3D v5, LM must of been scared of the amount sales it would achieve with not much time between both releases if LM delayed their release.

Exactly. I was about to write this before but didn't dare. Thanks.

Kind regards, Michael

I agree with some of the posters, I think there's a decent chance the product, while amazing in many respects, will feel unfinished on release date.

To ease your anxiety, how about you see it differently: by pre-ordering MS2020 today, you get automatically picked to be a beta tester for the v2 beta round that will start on August 18th, and will receive all future fixes and updates for free.

Note that if that's what MS had written, I would still happily part with my money. 😄

Ive just read the specs of the XboxX and they're claiming 4k gaming at 60fps. So, if thats the case, and this game is going to release on it, therefore I am concluding that a 2080ti should also render at 60fps, and the new 30 series should have no problems at all.

I pre-ordered, and you can install it now, but won't be able to play until August 18th! And you won't get charged until 10 days before it's released!

I pre-ordered too...but it didn't allow installation.

Closed Beta, not public.

I was kinda wondering how default airport look like. I hope they made some edits, hate to see I'm flying on a google earth like simulator
