Anything more than a year is a miracle for FS2020. Microsoft could very well shelf this within the next 6 months and fire Asobo. Like what they did with the FSX team.

While the potential is there, I doubt FS2020 will survive beyond a year due to the lack of mass market support. What I mean is that Asobo and Microsoft have primarily targeted the mass gamer market with the release of FS2020, it's clear that serious simmers are not their target audience.If FS2020 was to be a serious sim platform, Asobo would have spent more time developing a proper flight model system instead of focusing on eye-candy, which is what draws most casual gamers. However, judging from the user reviews on both steam and metacritic, it looks like most gamers can't be bothered anymore with FS2020 thanks to the numerous game-breaking bugs and installation issues. The general sense on the ground is that FS2020 is broken and not ready for release. I doubt Microsoft will continue funding this failed project for 10 years as they previously mentioned once the player numbers drop, there is just zero commercial sense to do so. The flight sim market is small and Asobo has attempted to remedy that by creating high fidelity graphics in order to draw in the gaming market. However, the poor release has left a bad taste in the mouth and it will be hard to move on from here. It's really a pity because FS2020 just had it's priorities wrong right from the onset of development. Flight simming should prioritize flying first and foremost, which Asobo has failed spectacularly. FS2020 is really dead on arrival, sadly.

Hi I'm sorry if this has been answered before but I would like to know if this is normal? Refer to the screenshot below: The area circled in green shows that there should be cloud coverage around the aircraft. However, you can see that its completely clear around it. Is this normal or am I missing some settings? Please advise

Just did a flight from KLAX to KJFK with the fix above in DX9 and all went well. No CTDs, BSODs whatsoever! Time for some night flying and all set for CTP tomorrow B)

You guys can try to give this a shot with the atiumdag.dll file from 13.4. I'm still testing it and so far it's looking good! Will report back with more results http://www.kn00tcn.net/site/how-to-extract-dlls-from-amd-catalyst-driver-packages/ (Using 13.10 Beta with 6870)

RadeonPro is also showing me some weird readings for my 6870. Disabled crossfire and its showing 0% usage with the occasional spike to 24%-40% Thanks again I really appreciate any help

Tried the options above but still no joy... 7-8fps in the cockpit during bad weather and it is really unflyable.

Hi, I've recently made the jump to DX10 after realising that the new AMD catalysts drivers don't work for FSX ( Running 2x 6870s here btw ). I have also installed DX10 scenery fixer and followed the guide to using RadeonPro for AA. My experience with DX10 has been rather frustrating to say the least. I'm getting less than 12fps on the PMDG T7 with Opus, GEX and REX installed. Would appreciate it if anyone can take a look at the my fsx.cfg file and let me know if there's something wrong.

How did the autopilot perform when you flew near the poles ? Did a flight from OMDB to KSFO myself and the aircraft kept deviating from the route in LNAV. Had to use HDG/SEL to correct it myself. Did you face the same problem?

I second this. I had black screens and random CTDs with each CTD giving different dll faults ( atiumdag.dll being one of them ) when I select Free Flight after updating to 13.9. Strangely missions were loading fine though. Had to roll back my drivers to 13.4 and everything went back to normal again.

:( Got my first OOM error on approach into Dubai...probably too much traffic + heavy scenery. However, it was a great flight with so much ATC coverage, looking forward to the CTP event next month!!
