August 20, 20205 yr As the title states, after using the alpha, beta and now the release candidate this sim feels like the complete successor to flight where that sim should have been finished to. There are a lot of reviews focused on how the sim in performing but I am more focused on the legacy of the franchise and I don't feel that this sim lives up to the "MSFS" franchise. I firmly believe that this sim has potential and time will tell if Asobo and MS will work with the community but I don't think that this is apart of the flight sim franchise. A few things stand out: Keyboard Mapping - I understand evolution but from someone who has been simming since '95 this is something that is hard to relearn and breaks from the original series. UI feel - It's very apparent that this is a different team with a different thought process. Flight Feel - The new flight model just doesn't feel right, I've got about 300 hours in the 172 and the legacy model feels more correct. From the technical aspects: I use a super ultrawide 49", to my knowledge there is no way to change the field of view angle which makes the immersion drop. Even with a 300mbps download speed I am seeing scenery "pop" even at low and slow flight. I think it has promise but not under the name Microsoft Flight Simulator, this should have been the evolution from flight. I think this would have kept the anticipation and expectations at a reasonable level. Tom "I just wanna tell you both: good luck. We're all counting on you."
