So, this game murders my PC (Ryzen 3900X + RTX 2080 Super) but it's amazingly good fun and relaxing. Just love flying over places I have been to etc.
Uploaded some ultrawide videos of some places - here is Singapore and one of wider New York. If they ever get round to modelling all major cities like they have with NYC - minds will be blown (as will my graphics card).

I have the Thrustmaster T1600M. Originally used for Elite Dangerous and Ace Combat but works great for FS.What controller are you using? Oh and enjoy ! Lol
You think it would work ok with a controller?I have the Thrustmaster T1600M. Originally used for Elite Dangerous and Ace Combat but works great for FS.
Very enjoyable. 😎
With an XBox controller? Yeah. It's fine.You think it would work ok with a controller?
The Icon A5 is easy to fly. I do find others tougher.Just been watching your New York video and its invredibly relaxing. I have the game and cant fly too well so my trips around New York tend to involve me trying not to crash into everything.
Really enjoyed the tour, cheers
Yeah, I did that in my little old prop plane. All I saw was cloud and really foggy conditions close to the ground. My plane was too small to fly high enough to see the clouds from above.Was reading that as MS use realtime weather ingame that many users were flying into and around the Laura hurricane. Amazing
Did your little old prop plane get thrown about?Yeah, I did that in my little old prop plane. All I saw was cloud and really foggy conditions close to the ground. My plane was too small to fly high enough to see the clouds from above.
Was funny seeing so many other online players in the area though.
Not too bad. It could be because I had wind settings on easy or whatever.Did your little old prop plane get thrown about?
Google earth vr is greatYeah - I am aware but it may take an RTX 3080 to run it properly.
The 23rd patch also includes a UK update so London and other landmarks should look a whole lot better.
If you want you mum to get some virtual freedom - I recommend Google Earth VR - it's much better for detail.
Anyone aware / interested that they're releasing a VR update on the 23rd of December? Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 free VR update has a release date, and it's soon
I got to a stage with teleport motion in Halflife: ALyx whereby it didnt bother me anymore but not sure how i'd fare with a VR flight sim.
My mum has been largely house bound since March so i am hoping it enables her some free-like-a-bird escapism.
Dam really? I have a 2080TI and a 5900x so i was hoping that that would do. However, Google Earth VR sounds promising. Never heard of it before. Ta gents- i will investigate
I personally love VR.
While everyone talks about HL:Alyx and Beat Sabre (both amazing) - the longevity for me has been in driving sims and flight/space sims. No doubt FS2020 in VR will be immersive but it will only be fully appreciated once PCs can run it in VR at over 60fps.
Google earth vr is great
still waiting for a 3080. Think i need to up my psu to 850 for one as well. The 650 wont hack it.

I have a rolling cache which keeps key areas with the best level of detail so it doesnt have to load each time. I dont know if you can cache the entire planet, it might be a tad space hungry my rolling cache is 200GB of disc space.
Driving sims is where it's at for me with VR. The more frantic stuff like Dirt Rally 2 but also chilled stuff like the Euro/American Truck Simulator games. Coupled with a wheel and pedals those are the most immersive VR experiences I've had.I personally love VR.
