Great video. My dad was an instructor and had me, and both my brothers, flying his Cessna 150 and 172 by the time we were 14-15 years old. I love the freedom of flying single engine aircraft. I'm 63 now and haven't flown in 20 years, but I still have never forgot the training my dad put us through and the respect he had for flying. I never flew any thing larger than a Cherokee 6. My dad was a pilot for hire for a while and he flew multi-engine airplanes, I wish I'd went on to the multi-engine airplanes, but life came around and we all know how that goes, I look back and wonder where the years have gone. Safe flying.

This review is just what I've been looking for!! Thanks!

Brilliant review, much appreciated. Retired now, go gliding at the local club on weekends. Your review brought back so many memories of FS1, 8 bit graphics, minimal frame rate, much hanging around in mid-air whilst the PC was buffering. We've come a long way, can't wait for take off.

So good to see another Modern classic video! Hope you have been doing well my friend.

Awesome to see you uploading new content! 👍🏽

Search youtube for "jet low fly over city" etc. There are actually mad-lads (or careless lads) doing this irl, sometimes in military jets, flying extremely close to the coastline of skyscrapers at lower than 500 feet. How they got permission to do that, i dont know. But the videos are out there, and its insane.

Now *THIS* is a review! Thank you sir!

This game is just as jawdropping as FSX was back in the day. I used to sit in my lonely apartment on cold winter days, booting up FSX and flying from Seoul to Narita in a 747, landing at night in the rain over the sprawl of Tokyo. An incredible experience, with the ATC, the AI planes, the whole experience. And i'm happy to report it is equally (more) stunning in FS2020. The thing about this game is that, its not just about the visuals, its about the entire experience. Microsoft (and the devs they pick / guide) somehow manages to create a special experience in the FS games, that "feels" totally different from X-Plane or any other flight sim. It truly "feels" like you're in the real world, with the weather, winds, clouds, and ATC chattering away at AI (or real player) planes. It is completely immersive in a way that other flight sims cant even come close to. Even if someone were to technically show that a new X-Plane release was more physically accurate, i wouldnt care. I play for the experience of being in a living breathing world. And that is what Microsoft consistenly delivered the best experience for, decade after decade.

I had the Sub Logic sim on my Atari 800. I was impressed it works and would often show it, but did not use it much. That said, it felt like a long time before products like Garmin or even built in GPS entered the real world. Love your vids!

thanks this is an awesome review which i just rode along on. Purchasing my MSFS now!

I really hope that these types of simulator will have a tutorial part, a step by step on what to click to start and airplane, what the buttons are for, how to land, speed to land, etc. Like an online class on how to be a pilot. hahaha

Thank you. It's really nice to hear from a reviewer that isn't being 'coached'. I'm only VFR rated so something with a little more realistic scenery is great, so thanks MS for that. I didn't want to put my wallet content into something I have only seen the hype about so your review is exceptionally valuable, again; thanks.

amazing. thanks for the walkthrough. I just bought it. you helped a bunch

1:33 I had that manual. I loved the maps. I guess it only must have had New York, Chicago, San Francisco (and LA?) Seattle. But it was great looking at a map and deciding to fly from say Meigs to Champaign Urbana using the VOR and ADF beacons.

What a fantastic video 👏 Calm, collected and to the point. Thanks 🙏🏻

Just got this game; had the FSX a few years back. Found it to be fun and while landing is a challenge it all came back to me. I also have the Logitech flight yoke and throttle quadrant. The install was a nightmare; 128Gb game; update 108Gb, and another 90gb in the deluxe package

I've been absolutely loving the sim. This is my first time playing a flight sim, and it's been awesome. Had to watch a lot of videos to figure out how to work different systems, but it's been worth it. TBM 930 is definitely my favorite plane to fly

That is a great plane along with any piston powered GA airplane. I fly professionally and the jets are extremely overpowered. Not a fan of any jet in the game. The TBM is great. I saw this is your first sim. I make tutorials on how to do approaches and everything flying related. My goal is to bring my real world knowledge into FS2020 but to make it easy for people to understand. You might find it beneficial and enjoy your sim experience more. Happy virtual flying!

Awesome video - and getting feedback from an actual pilot is very cool. Thoughts on a video with suggested profile settings for each plane type? (single prop, airliner, etc)? :)

He said woops LOL You got me to subscribe just by that comment alone LOL. Life is fun times so thank you I needed that genuine funny moment.

25:48 FYI there is a pause option in developer mode that allows you to turn dials and make adjustments. it's kinda hidden, but it's there at least. Just be aware that turning on developer mode also disables crashes by default, so you'll have to uncheck that as well if you want crash detection

Just opened this to hear you fly the DA-40 IRL. I fly the DA-40 XLS for fun! It’s such an awesome plane!!!!!

Great review. Honest appraisal that gives me some insight that helps with a buying decision. The price of the sim is inconsequential, but the cost of the hardware upgrade has my head spinning :)

Fantastic review and lots of fun too. Hadn't seen a short field take off, nay drop off, like that for a long time. Yes we have all done the LUKLA things in previous versions of the sim, but man it looks beautiful in this new version. Thanks for taking the time to upload this and for all of the insights you provided.

I hope you keep making videos your a grate youtuber!

Dude Absolutely the best most informative Sim video out there - your manner and expression is priceless - thanks

|You are a true flight sim nut! Trying to land a jumbo at Lukla. Congratulations!!

Might want to set sensitivities on the controls... i got mine setup to -54 on a couple of axis to soften the curve, so it's not as twitchy. Great review, and i've also had the same shit happen to me.. they'll get there eventually.

Rereading parts of the real manual for the real aircraft to operate it's counterpart in the "game"... This is not what I expected but it is what I secretly wanted. Thank You very much for this review. This over 40 minute-long video went by in a breeze and I thoroughly enjoyed it. With a heavy heart I am going to wait with the purchase of this title though. Seeing even your proper setup dropping a few frames leads me to believe that I would be seeing nothing more than a slide-show if I tried to run the new MSFS... or end up with a bricked/melted system when the overclocking eventually gives it the rest. Have a great day! ~Greetings from across the pond.

If you're still holding off, I'm currently playing it on an i5-8400 and GTX 1060 3 GB graphics card. You can dial the settings back quite a bit, especially the render scale (similar effect to DLSS and FSR), and still get playable frame rates while looking decent. In low density areas and high altitudes, I get 35-45 fps. That's without doing much to tweak various Windows settings that can help as well. There was also an update that came out after most review videos that people say made big increases in frame rates. I've seen many reporting a 15-20fps improvement (though Manhattan still tanks due to CPU bottlenecks).

Excellent review! Any suggestions on the best home flight simulator system, yoke and pedal setup that will help prepare me for my real life private pilot flight lessons I will be starting in the near future?

Great review. This game probably isn't made for people like me, but it's still interesting to hear how it works and what it does right.

Great review, one thing I would have liked though are your thoughts on the training. I am a complete noob and would love to hear your thoughts on this

Hey, I went to SUNY Farmingdale. Used to drive past MacArthur every day.

Nice to know Kevin Spacey is keeping busy Great video, really enjoyed that.

Decent review. Well done

Excellent detailed review.

Can you do a review using Bendigo airport in Victoria apparently they have a airport now and it will be cool to see how detailed it is

Yes i'm loving the platform... But your commentary really made the video worth watching.

wow that was detailed and fun

Only bought this game because I really wanted to see the level of detail. I really want to find Easter Island and take some pictures of it from the air. I already had taken pics of some cities and holy crap the detail is insane. Set graphics to high end (pray your machine can run it of course) and just look at all the details.

Excellent review. Question: Is the "Progressive Taxi" feature in the new game like FSX, and FS2004? Thank you!

Amazing Video .. thank you

Ace review thanks. I've had the game for month and learned so much. "I always fly in Live weather" spot someone who isn't from the UK!

19:52 This is still an issue on the latest version of the game. Recently, I did an IFR flight from Tokyo to Sendai. By the time I was approaching Sendai, ATC never bothered to acknowledge my approach. It just tells me to keep the same heading even though the airport is literally nearby. But eventually after some time, the game finally recognizes you and gives you the vectors for the approach. Also, even in the ground, ATC fails to give you taxi instructions. I need to exit the game to restart the flight. Wonder what conditions does the game check for the AI to respond. Can't imagine doing a long-haul flight, only to find out the AI for ATC glitches out.

The whole Lakla takeoff and landing really cracked me up lol

Good video...very informative. Question: I want to get a new sim system. Will MSFT Flight Simulator run on Xbox only or can I run it on a fast desktop? Also, any suggestions on which joy stick will work best? Thanks

the best review sofar to make me stick to P3Dv4 for a long long time. I "fly" in low vis most of the time so VFR is not important. PMDG is therefor the ONLY option to have a realistic sim flight.

Seriously, some of the hand made stuff just looks real. Cannot wait for the addon content to get going.

For default aircraft, possible though not fully realistic. Study-level aircraft, yes.

To enter active pause, press the *pause* key on the keyboard. (You'll find it on the upper right, on the same row as the 'Print Screen' key.) Upon pressing, the simulation will halt

It shows you the real world on a small screen. No words.

Nice video by the way. I make FS2020 tutorials and I know the time involved in even making a 10-12 minute video. Your video is 43 minutes long. I am sure that took you quite a long time to make. Good job!

What computer and peripherals are needed for Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)? I'm starting from ground zero, so to speak.

Lol @ 747 at Lukla. #Epic.

Very Nice! Just got XBox Series x. Any review or comparison of FS on Xbox?

I've been flying sims since the '80 and flown most of the MSFS releases. I biggest gripe is ATC and AUTOPILOT is buggy and not stable on many aircraft. I hear fixes are coming in February of 2021. I do agree that the world scenery is awesome, I can even see my house and carport on a free camera flyby. I just wish they'd had more pilots and ATC helping software engineers during the development (4 stars out of 5).
