July 14, 20205 yr As a console gamer as well as PC user I'm interested to see how that side works for MSFS - not that I'll be purchasing it for my console, I'll stick to Farm Sim, World of Tanks and Battlefield for console "simulations". Pre-ordering should work great... for digital downloads... not great for physical copies (I know MSFS isn't physical..). I pre-ordered Snow Runner for my XBOX to get it on release date. Thanks to COVID I had to convert that collect-in-store-order to a mail order. Some numpty sent me a PS4 copy. I duly returned that only to be told no XBOX copies in stock (surely "my" copy would have been sitting in the warehouse? Thanks for nothing, GAME!!). One refund later... oh well...

The best "lite" MD-11 money can buy (well, it's not freeware!)

Other then that all good, bring on the third party I will be happy when we get the PMDG NGX and 777 Also quite happy to see Snow in Manhattan, seasons will be great as well Having the 747-8 I would go for the b787-8 or -9 too. But probably someone will release them.
July 14, 20205 yr But, what is the point of a pre-order? There is no benefit whatsoever. I still fail to understand why grown adults are so hyped they would throw their money on an over-hyped product instead of doing what we usually do - let the casuals eat the early bugs, wait for reviews and then make a purchasing decision based on impartial discussion and review, instead of hype-centric marketing tactics.

July 14, 20205 yr It seems that the adults are holding back, with the casuals jumping in, maybe it's like bragging rights for the kids? Also funny on another forum, discussing how big their drives are.. Robin "Onward & Upward" ... To the Stars, & Beyond...

Also funny on another forum, discussing how big their drives are.. There's a psychological component to it as well. I mean, surely having that MSFS icon already sitting on your desktop means you just got so much closer to having the game, right?

July 14, 20205 yr who will be the first 3PD to announce an available helicopter for MSFS? that would greatly help the MSFS purchasing decision!
July 14, 20205 yr I seem to have large gaps in my knowledge of this sim. and I can't see where the answers are. I see people mentioning Streaming scenery. Does that mean I will need to have an unlimited data Internet account? Intel i7 6700K @4.3. 32gb Gskill 3200 RAM. Z170x Gigabyte m/b. 28" LG HD monitor. Win 10 Home. 500g Samsung 960 as Windows home. 1 Gb Mushkin SSD for P3D. GTX 1080 8gb.
July 14, 20205 yr Just now, IanHarrison said: Does that mean I will need to have an unlimited data Internet account? Only if you want streaming scenery. 😄 You can set the sim to not use streaming scenery if you prefer. It's not as bad as you might think. Hook Larry Hookins Oh!

If you can’t see the difference of principle between calling a person by a different name on purpose to offend and people having various names for a piece of software then I’m pretty sure this conversation has run its course my friend.
