May 20, 20251 yr Not sure if anyone has seen this, but I signed in to GFN yesterday and spotted that you can play MSFS 2024 on it: The reason I signed up in the first place is because my PC is a couple of generations old now. I do play games other than MSFS so thought GFN was a cost effective method of playing the latest and greatest without investing £5k+. My machine can run MSFS 2024 but I do have to dial it back quite a way. I loaded it up and it works surprisingly well given the game is heavy on both CPU and GPU. I was able to push the settings to the max in 4K with frame generation and it was very smooth. I say smooth as I wasn't able to verify the exact numbers as for some reason the FR (Non dev-mode counter) was showing 143-144 constantly which I don't think is accurate (more my monitors refresh rate). Didn't have time to connect up my HOTAS Warthog, pedals and everything but had a quick play with my Xbox controller instead and it works flawlessly. I'm really very impressed and besides obviously having limitations like not being able to install mods etc, for using the standard product it's excellent. If you've got the service or are struggling with your performance on your PC (and have a decent connection), it might be worth considering. Edited May 20, 20251 yr by tronied

May 25, 20251 yr "Geforce" as a name can be misleading, at least it was for me some time ago, but it's a smart service if your rig does not meet the min requirements to use a flightsim or demanding game 😀 TONY on FS2024Black Square Bonanza & Baron • A2A Comanche • Flyboy Rans S6S • CAS Piper J-3 CubPMDG 777-200ER and 777-300ER, 737-800 BBJ2 • Fenix A320 • iniBuilds A350FSUIPC • Active Sky FS • Chase Plane • Flow • FS2Crew • FSTramp • GSXAlienware R16 i7-14700KF 5.60 GHz l 32 GB DDR5 l RTX 4070 Ti Super l 32" 4K OLED G-SYNC 240 Hz

May 25, 20251 yr Because my msfs2024 is the Store edition, It installs free on our Xbox series S console (you have to use the same username and email address on the console login). Booting up the console, it asks "who's watching". You need to pick the user icon that has the same email and username as you used to buy the PC Store edition of 2020 or 2024. After loggin in like that. msfs2024 will be free in the Xbox Store on the console (series S or series X). 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.
