This is a channel that focuses on the graphical technology and features, not the gameplay, but he does touch on it a bit at the start.

New official video showcasing planes/airports:
 

 

The strobes in the 787 are wrong. They have a signature strobe which are more Uniform and of longer duration. These look like the standard short flicker type strobes. Nooooooooooo!

Thanks for pointing this out. I'm cancelling my order.

Funnily enough, I have noticed that the lights on the 787 do tend to be very much brighter than most other aeroplanes. If you see a plane coming in for a landing at night and it has a really bright red light on the underside or top, chances are it will be a 787, they really do have massively bright lights. Look at this pic I took of one at work earlier this year:

Can we talk about the landing/touchdown physics? Why does it look so arcade-ish to me? it looks terrible.  Everything looks good until it touches the ground, then its like the plane just sticks to the ground with a tire screech, no matter how bad the landing was (and i saw many in some of these videos lol). Looks very fake.  Mostly for the A320 and 747 from what i've seen.

In real life, or even in other sims like DCS, those landings would end in a fireball.

Or at least like this...
 

Since Flight Sim 2020 doesn't simulate damage physics, all it can do is give you a black screen or make the excessive energy disappear; which of course doesn't happen in real life.

It would be nice to know if changing the realism setting have any effect on this behavior. Hopefully someone will touch on this in the coming days.

I would like. But NDA.

Don't know if this one has been posted yet. I found it absolutely fascinating, particularly as he is playing weather and light.

Did they only give copies to people that know nothing about flying or what? Its been so painful watching the testers do 'Flights' without touching any buttons in the cockpit.

Ahhh vegas is mostly flat in that first IGN video. I wonder why that is, its just an image. Maybe it didn't load during the flight? The 6 difficult landings video looks really good tho.
