I can't say much due to various NDAs - plus Microsoft has put out a restraining order against me after the whole "Occupy Redmond" thing - but I can promise you that the Icon in MSFS2020 is superb! In fact, on August 18th, you will all be starting your new MSFS experience with a very special mission - IN THE ICON! I won't give away any spoilers, except to say that you'll be flying it towards a yacht, and if you grease the water landing you get to go to a party! That's all I can really say for now, though given that NDAs seem to have moved into the "optional" category in the past 24 hours, I'm going to leave you Icon fans with a screenshot that I took while flying the MSFS2020 Introductory Mission: Cheers!

Hardware: i9900K, overclocked to the max. 2080Ti. And, as per previous posts, I fly with sliders full right. Scenario: Wedding yacht mission. “Your first water landing...and a party!” Location: Hawaii (of course), season selected: Hard winter. I am shocked, indeed flabbergasted, that you are unimpressed with the graphical quality of my Icon screenshot. 😊 Edited July 14, 20205 yr by OzWhitey Oz Sim Rig: MSI RTX3090 Suprim, an old, partly-melted Intel 9900K @ 5GHz+, Honeycomb Alpha, Thrustmaster TPR Rudder, Warthog HOTAS, Reverb G2, Prosim 737 cockpit.

July 14, 20205 yr What will I do when MFS is released? Keep flying P3D until the dust settles and the forum jury verdict is in....... Then after thoroughly reviewing the new Avsim MFS CTD (good foresight Charlie!) and Whiners forums, I'll install it and immediately start tweaking.

If you’re not happy please stay away from positive people. Just a wild guess, but it might have something to do with the P3D haters posting about MSFS in the P3D forums for the last year about what rubbish P3D is and how perfect MSFS is going to be. But that’s just a guess.

Truthfully though the Icon is the plane I want to fly the most in MFS. I love flying amphibians in bush flying territory, searching for isolated lakes and landing in them!
