August 23, 20205 yr I've got my own new system headed this way, arrives Wednesday, all for FS2020! ooooRah! ____________________ Microsoft’s beautiful and punishing Flight Simulator 2020 reboot will spur a staggering $2.6 billion in PC hardware sales, Jon Peddie Research (JPR) estimates...It’s worth it, though, Reeves agrees. “As a former pilot myself, the realism it brings in every detail is just incredible. I suspect we’re going to be building PCs chasing performance in this title for years to come.” https://www.pcworld.com/article/3572290/microsoft-flight-simulator-will-spur-billions-in-pc-hardware-sales.html 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel. Crystal Light VR.
August 23, 20205 yr Worldwide PC sales are roughly 260 million units. That $2.6B, although it may sound like a big number, it really isn't. That amount of high end systems hardly puts a small dent in the worldwide market, maybe 1% of total sales (US $) at best. I also wonder what happens when the XBox version of MSFS hits the streets. I was considering upgrading my hardware this Fall, but now I'm going to wait until Asobo fixes some the major bugs.
August 24, 20205 yr A man goes to a bar in New Orleans: Can I have a corona and two hurricanes please. Bartender: That’ll be $20.20. We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically...... To the rest of the Universe atomically.

September 2, 20205 yr I'm not sure I understand you lads opting out of purchasing MSFS...even if it still has some issues they will all be ironed out. In the meantime you get to enjoy an awesome sim. I am flying all the same flights I used to fly in FSX but with a much better user interface, scenery, graphics, planes...everything.

September 3, 20205 yr https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/MicrosoftFlightSim/comments/hspxjs/fs_2020_and_ray_tracing/ MSFS is still at DX11, so no Ray Tracing support. Until RT support is added, it's worth waiting on the RTX 3000 series. P3d5 might benefit from adding an RTX 3090, assuming your CPU isn't a bottleneck.

Er..Who's Ray Tracing and what did he do so's not to get support? The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA

September 3, 20205 yr Wait, you mean it isn't going to be at least twice as fast, without Ray? Glad I stopped by, will Stick with Bill and save a bundle on hardware.
September 3, 20205 yr Confused? You wont be if you continue reading this and other threads. 🙂 The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA
