And interesting stuff as to who is already in the store, and with what, 3rd parties must be VERY eager.

Plus some apparent price confusion vis-a-vis upgrades

But you know it's not really the marketplace we are interested in, don't you? 😉 Any first impressions on the actual flying?

77% complete. Can't wait to see how my i7 2600K handles a new generation sim. 😀

As soon as these new 3080 cards are out, my 2080ti is up for sale 😄

Going to see how the CPU gets on

Please update on your results.. I've got a i7 3770k... and I'm not going to emigrate to Kiribati from the office 😁 ...

I get stuck on the checking for updates screen inside the client.

Nah, I'm watching the progress bar at a tectonic rate too. Might be flying by midnight. This is the bad thing about living in Kiribati, we have an internet wire strung between coconut trees which goes to one router transmitter for the entire island. 🤣

SO... Anyone who got the game pass just to get MSFS early, have you tried any of the other games yet? 😄

I'm flying with no issues.

Can you check real quick if some particular airports made it into the sim or are still missing?

EDDS (Stuttgart Airport)

EHEH (Eindhoven Airport)

EKVG (Vágar Airport)

And most of the airports of Greenland apart from Nuuk (BGGH)

I checked all of those and BGBW and they're all missing.

Thank you very much for that!

That means they still haven't found a way to get airports in that don't have acceptable Bing imagery.

I'm estimating around 35-40 hours for the full download, so I'll probably still be sitting watching the download bar tomorrow, the day after, and maybe a couple more. ☹️

Will definitely be trying out some more games if the simulator does not work on my system. This is the full list if anyone's interested: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-game-pass/games?=pcgames# Quite impressed the library has grown to 198 games.

Do you get frequently resets of the download, or is the download speed that bad?
