I'll be there on day one. So, if I play this on GP, does that mean I don't get access to the other planes and airports of the deluxe version?

No I don't think so. You'll probably just get a discount for the deluxe version.

@speedytimsi: Unfortunately this kind of bullshit is common in flight-sims. Stuff like Dovetail Games amount to thousand upon thousands of dollars.

Game looks amazing. I wouldn’t mind getting this myself but I’ll have to wait for the console version.

@warmblur: Yea, they showed a lot of tech demo shit, including ooga-booga face woman showing her next-gen teeth, but this is probably the only game that looks like a noticeable leap imo.

@the_master_race: Cool thanks for the heads up. I never play an actual Flight Sim other than Sci-Fi Sims but this has peak my interest. I'll play it for less and not have to pay full price :)

Yeah yeah yeah!

Looking to get my STOL on. I always wanted to be a bush pilot. Take off in 100 feet on gravel "runways".

Any word on VR support? Implementation?

I have had SERIOUS issues with Game Pass on PC, a little concerned.

@speedytimsi said:

wait WTF? We have to pay extra for airports? AND THEY DON"T EVEN INCLUDE SFO!?!?!?!

Also I thought they said "every' airport in the world was going to be in the game.

This is...concerning. I was really looking forward to this game but if the standard edition is only going to have like 20 major airports....meh.

I was excited because when they announced "every airport and airfield is in the game due to *fancy mapping stuff*" I was pumped. I was going to fly from my local airfield to the airfield near my parents' house, then down south to where I went to college. I was going to e-visit all these places I know in the real world.

Now? Not sure if I can do that :(

OK and I am interested again lol

gamer please, I've explored thousands of systems in Elite: Dangerous. I love being bored.

I mean, super boring pressing "take off, autopilot, then land"

@uninspiredcup said:

DCS World is the same way. New planes, especially the seriously detailed ones, cost like 70 dollars.

But....worth it. Just need to choose carefully, plus I mean it takes hundreds of hours just to learn to fly the plane.

Wonder how detailed the planes in this game will be as far as flight systems and so on. Is it coming out for console? Probably won't be that intense. Whatever, will be fun.

@mrbojangles25: All airports are in every version of the game. That list is about the hand-made premium details for those airports.

@Willy105: phew

Not sure what those premium details are about, but all I need to do is land. As long as I can do that at a fairly convincing depiction of an airport or airfield I am happy.

@mrbojangles25: The premium details are stuff like handmade recreations of airport buildings with moving parts and tiny details like that. The non-premium ones are just automatically generated from Bing maps and satellite data.

I'll give this a go on Gamepass so I can explore some interesting parts of the world, not so much for the actual flying

I'll get it on Gamepass, then upgrade for a special edition by smoking weed while playing it.

To be fair, these are the type of games we call'em relaxation games and me playing like No Man's Sky was a well nice relaxing game, that doesn't take itself seriously and all about exploring. Flight Simulator is one of them.

Wanna fly with me Pedro? The Flight is free😁

its a mishmash of satellite and aerial images draped over a low res DEM (digital elevation model) with some low quality 3d models in cities etc.

its a great tool but doesn't look great

@with_teeth26: From a distance in the sky yes, up close via the cam footage it's a far better experience of visiting a place than a flight simulator will provide, especially with VR motion.

Can't wait. It's been way too long. My brother's very excited - he's going to be buying hardware just for this game. Nice that consoles finally have decent CPUs and cross-platform development doesn't have to mean gimped anymore.

It sounds like MS is on board with mods too, so things are looking good.

The physical version comes on ten disks! Does this mean the entire game can be played offline?
