October 15, 20214 yr Hey folks, I’ve been a pc simmer since fs 95 came out, I currently have a PlayStation 4 of which is on the fritz and was gonna purchase a ps5 but then thought maybe I’ll get an Xbox instead to casually use msfs for a quick fix. In doing some research I’m confused between a series s and a series X? Other than the not having a disk drive, would there be any reason to not go with an “S”? I don’t plan on leaving simming on the pc as that is in my opinion the preferred method for simming for my uses (with all my equipment I have invested) , but figured If I’m investing in a new console might as well go that route for the option. Also, I hardly ever play games on console, it’s just nice to have a console for the odd time I want to do something different.

October 15, 20214 yr X is more powerful. a wee search found this What's the diffrence AMD Ryzen 7 5800x3d, MSI X570 Pro, 32 gb DDR4 3600 ram, Gigabyte 6800 16gb GPU, 1x 2tb Samsung NvMe , 1x 2tb Sabrent NvME, 1x Crucial 4tb Nvme M2 Drive
October 15, 20214 yr I have the same question too. If anyone out there is running MSFS on Xbox series S, please comment on the performance. We already are aware that X’ is more powerful!

We already are aware that X’ is more powerful! The price difference and availability is what is attractive to me, especially if not a huge console gamer!

October 15, 20214 yr I found this video looking at the differences. AMD Ryzen R9 9950X3D | Asus Astral RTX 5080 OC | 32 GB DDR5 6000 CL30 | 3440x1440 G-Sync | Logitech Pro Throttles Rudder Yoke Panels | Thrustmaster T.16000M FCS | TrackIR 5 | Oculus Rift S
October 16, 20214 yr Had an S and then replaced it by an X. Primarily because with just MSFS the disk space on the S was already at 80% usage with all World Updates leaving little space for other titles my kids play. Performance wise I honestly saw little difference but did not really test it. Actually I do not use MSFS on the X as it cannot handle the CRJ or FBW320 properly with just the controller Phil Leaven i5 10600KF, 32 GB 3200 RAM, ASUS 4070 12GB EVO, Asus ROG Z490-H, 2 WD Black NVME for each Win11 (500GB) and MSFS (1TB), Rolling Cache 16GB, Photogrammetry always OFF, Live Weather and Live Traffic always ON, Res 2560x1440 on 27"
October 16, 20214 yr Thanks for the info! I’m seriously considering picking up an ‘S’ and giving it a go with MSFS. Just cannot find Series X anywhere around here….none to be had. And restocks sell out almost instantly. rgds, JB 9800x3d, ASUS TUF x870, 64GB G.Skill DDR5, MSI Ventus 4080, HP Reverb G2 VR, FlyVirtual.net, Private Pilot SEL rating, subLogic FlightSim 1983 & every release since

Just curious if that’s even possible?

The „official“ SDD extension is so expensive that you can buy an X straight away Phil Leaven i5 10600KF, 32 GB 3200 RAM, ASUS 4070 12GB EVO, Asus ROG Z490-H, 2 WD Black NVME for each Win11 (500GB) and MSFS (1TB), Rolling Cache 16GB, Photogrammetry always OFF, Live Weather and Live Traffic always ON, Res 2560x1440 on 27"
