Suggest you watch Squirrel's Youtube video series.. one after the other.

This sim is quite different from the older FSX.. and takes some getting used to, for sure.

You will soon find yourself able to master the controls / views / etc..

It DOES take some time.. 🙂

I dont have the sim but seeing all the comments I get the feeling that they did need more time but that MS was pushing for Aug 18. Anyway the horses have bolted and not coming back so thats that! 

Its fascinating watching how rapidly people are burrowing into the sim to find settings, how already some planes are being tweaked and how 3rd party stuff has already appeared with free offerings from Aerosoft and Orbx. 

I plan on getting the sim in about April or May next year and look forward to it, the screenshots look amazing and although I will keep XP11 as my primary sim (to jet about in my beloved Zibo) I will use MSFS exclusively to scoot about doing bush flights.

question

Some of the most popular things in FLT SIM is the

pop outs of instruments

ability to have instant replay

ability to use 2- monitors

A MANUEL ……..No brainer

If can do it, anyone can do it! And I have even had 4 Oktoberfest beers. 🙂

It's playable and it's stable, I'd say I'm happy to be able to play.
But the patch ruined launching the game, I have a minute of black screen when using the no-intro launcher

thanks

I have watched mostly all of his and they are wonderful

when I try to input as he states to my CH Pro yoke & peddles I ca not duplicate

my computer is built for FLT SIM  and runs X-Plane at FULL / MAX setting w/ 30-40 frame rates so its not computer issue

Im just frustrated that some of the standard enjoyable things were left out

I also am experiencing many freezes and sim shut downs

As far as key assignments are concerned, here is one online reference...

The manuals are online at zendesk.flightsimulator.com For instance, here is the guide to setting up controls...

Two-monitor support would be nice. I believe that is planned, but I’d like to see them solve some of the performance-related issues in the single-monitor version we now have before complicating things by bringing a second monitor into the mix.

Maybe the OP should of delayed his or her purchase to the new MSFS. No one forced or asked you to.

Didn’t read the op did you?

Or they could make it up to everyone and just fix the bugs and get it where it needs to be as a finished product as a thank you for all OUR beta testing on their behalf....

Grammar errors aside, I would find it hard to believe that the OP was not really aware that he was forced or asked to delay his purchase.

As ShawnG has said or inferred, this comment, apart from being inane at best, it has nothing to do with the original post.

I wonder if anyone forced you or asked you to respond in this manner?

Releasing was OK.

Any of us can delay getting into MSFS 2020as long as one wishes..... until we read from everybody tat all is OK. 

Simple

How will you know what state the final games is in until it`s released, as an ex insider is was surprised they released it in this state MS must be hard up, they have lost there big XBOX launch title HALO as it`s not ready for prim time. 

I can say..the product needs work. ..definitely.. but... I am VERY glad they released it.  With everything going on this year, I prefer having this version of the sim over say having to wait to december or even next year. I (morbidly and perhaps sadly) wondered if I would ever get to use the sim earlier this year

I still have xplane installed and intend to fly in it again but I havent loaded it once since th 18th... I fly incomplete MFS daily .

I'm used to default airplanes from using them on xp. I am sure most of the inop buttons are going to stay inop.. just like with default xplane planes. So I'm not worried about that. The things that would have been better on launch are the vnav and generally inaccurately implemented functions in the gps. Flight model tweaks.  Also the installer and stability (although ctds are par for the course with flightsim) would be better .   And quirks in the ortho (that exist both in bing and google data) but also just the bing issues will be improved although I think that's more like end of 2021 stuff

So .. I'm very happy they released it.  Waiting months or more for a more polished sim ,but one that  I'm sure would still have bugs, just alot less, is not worth it for me.  Especially since I was buying the sim no matter what.  I (I am saying myself, not the OP) could just sit out the release version and wait for it to be at release level if I found the bugs unacceptable.  There are people whom have stated they are waiting so it's possible to do. 

And Microsoft's motivation doesnt matter .. the question is, choose: smoother launch MFS2021 vs incomplete mfs2020 ... I chose incomplete mfs2020.  Both choices have me $59.99 lighter by the end of 2021, but the former gives me months of extra enjoyment during a fairly unenjoyable year. 

 

 

 

I don't understand this request from the OP.

Its quite simple. Wait for a year or two before using it if you believe the sim is not ready for you. They may have released some updates by then. But the request that others do not get their hands on the sim until the OP believes its good enough for him is strange.

I'm the OP.  I think you misread my post.  I am grateful it was released.  There were some that felt it was released too early and should have been delayed.  I made the point you did, let me use it now and not wait for it to be improved.
