ALPHA (fka Tech Alpha 2) Invite Emails
peppy197 replied to b737800's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I hope this new sim does not prove to be an addiction. The better it is the more likely it will take time away from Netflix, iTunes, porn, smartphone social media, and any other good things in life. -

My bet is that the sim is great otherwise people would say so if it were and the heck with the NDA None have dared to loose their new toy -

MS, I am so sad and disappointed
peppy197 replied to nas123's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I remember back when there were no home computers at all so you had to rent a real airplane to have flight fun ( FS = 0 )....then came FS1... been typing control letters into computers ever since (circa 1983) Yet NO ALPHA 😭 i.e. no FS=A Suggestion to MS: Give us all access to the build even though we are not reporting bugs -

Am I skeptic or reasonably suspicious?
peppy197 replied to peppy197's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Even though my download was clocked at 877 Mbps I doubt that willl always be the mean average for it , what about latency effects, so if we need 60G for a scenery area of 900 sq miles, which is still only 30 by 30 miles, and say my real effective speed is 120 Mbps, that would take at least half an hour to download the first 60G, and at the speed of an airliner the reloading of new scenery.......you do the math -
Am I skeptic or reasonably suspicious?
peppy197 replied to peppy197's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Are they calling this a VFR sim? Then likely little ATC and few irons. I like VFR if the scenery is awesome, which is certainly the case with 2020, so I would still be a buyer -
Since they are only showing slow moving aircraft, and not the F16 let alone a jet airliner, I am suspicious of their reason. Is it to cover the tendency of your CPU to get overloaded if speed is in the equation. I have seen this approach in advertising for earlier pre-releases, and is a good marketing scheme, get them hooked before showing the real life problems Now don't drop the "k" in skeptic to describe my cautious stand on this new candy, which BTW might become a new addiction for some. ( for example...... ME )

I only get the weather loaded at departure, seems once arriving at half way to destination 700 miles away, the weather is always clear, even when it is reported as Overcast in AS for P3Dv4. Essentially no weather depicted at destination, If i pause and save and reload, VOILA, the weather in splendid glory updated to B7070 and Prepar4D=4.5.12.30293 sorta dilutes the fun
