    Шикарная игра. Довольно быстро скачал, установил, запустил. Загрузился меньше, чем за минуту. Воткнул в комп джойстик Logitech extreme 3d pro, игра его сразу подцепила.

    Прошёл только первое обучение, запустил полёт из Шереметьево в Домодедово, карта прогрузилась довольно быстро (меньше минуты).
    Игра предлагает очень гибкие пресеты настроек от аркады до симулятора. Постоянно подсказывает, на какую кнопку в каком случае жать. Физика на уровне.
    Однозначно мастхев, очень рекомедую докупить джойстик - ощущения на уровне. На взлёте аж дух захватило, я не знаю как разработчики добиваются такого эффекта)
    Жду, когда выйдет новый xbox sex и игру выпустят на нём, чтоб спокойно играть на большом телеке.

    El mejor simulador a la fecha, un referente a seguir, felicidades a microsoft por este maravilloso juego, puedo viajar donde quiere y conocer los lugares del mundo donde siempre he querido ir, el foto realismo es increible, Los pipero de la playyysssss se vienen a tirar mierdas con sus ceros, por que tienen pc que solo puede correr el buscaminas y el solitario en minimo, a llorar a otro lado.

    Microsoft Flight Simulator is a completely masterpiece. Yes, it has bugs, and yes, it has problems.
    The GA flight model is very realistic (I'am a PPL holder), but i can't say the same for the airliners, BUT THEY ARE DEFAULT.

    I would say, that this is far best simulator I flied. So highly reccomend you to check it out with Xbox GamePass, to try it out, and then decide, if You are a gamer, and this simulator means nothing to you, OR, join our beautiful flight sim community.

    es el mejor simulador sus físicas son las mas realistas y en aspectos técnicas y gráficas es de lo mejor que hay comparándolo con los simuladores que han salido recientemente, debido a esto el juego es muy exigente con la pc y me gustaría que trabajaran mas en optimizar el juego para que las personas que no cuneta con una pc de gana alta puedan disfrutar de la experiencia completa.

    The haters are mainly install whingers or people with weak systems.

    This is a landmark achievement in technology. I feel I have my £60 worth already in beautiful screenshots and I'm looking forward to learning more about the planes and exploring further.

    I totally see what you did here. Made a stunning visual experience, super comfortable for casual players. Guess they should be pleased now.
    For now, simmers are kinda left behind but I want to believe that this will be fixed in time.
    Aibus320neo is super freakin simple, without the majority of systems at all.

    P.S. No multimonitor support? Seriously? Or it's just me?

    Why MFS is good? Nice graphic
    Why MFS is bad?
    - ATC still can not support SID STARS hodlings, emergency procedures, FSSs, rules, and many more. - Planes are far away of quality A2A or PMDG known form P3D and MFSX - You can fly C172 up side down and engine will not die, you can not flood spark plugs and many more. - There is no any penalty system for flying wrong or using for example    Why MFS is good?

    - You can fly C172 up side down and engine will not die, you can not flood spark plugs and many more.
    - There is no any penalty system for flying wrong or using for example exterior lights wrong.
    - What happened with licenses and exams?
    - Why there is no built in FS airlines/FSpassengers economy?
    - Why this game is sooooooo simple?
    - Again they did world where to get this game on real we will have to spend $$$ for third party addons to correct/add many things and fight with those addons to get it working insted have it build in into the game in standard deluxe and ultra pro turbo premium version.
    - Again is MFS is the machine for making the money: simpe nice graphic world exists, procedures and rest sucks but ok we will focus on making new planes and sceneries.
    - Probably development of ASOBO will stop here where MFS is now in context of making simulator more real (read above) and they will focus now on making new sceneries and making ths MFS just looking more nice.

    I would find many more when I go into details. It is interesting if ATC supports transition altitudes for example or how icing works or how the plane will behave without anty icing system ON in icing conditions. How AI aircraft behave who have to first way or RVSM....

    FS Airlines, FS passengers FS Captain and GSXv2 - those all features should be included into versions of flight simulator instead of sceneries and additional planes. Asobo first off all should focus on gameplay instead of making simple things like sceneries of airports for deluxe versions.
    New MFS should have ATC SID STARS etc included + emergency procedures. We should have in deluxe versions possibility to crate airline, employ pilots, fly with them in multi crew aircraft, work together to obtain succes for an airline, do competition with other airlines, buy/sell/lease aircrafts, repair them and every flight should save the state of plane. We should have pilot ratings, licensing, penalting system and exams built in.
    Insted of this we have ♥♥♥♥ half finished product where MS can now make to money on sceneries and airports insted of focusing on things heavy to program. Third party addon NEVER will be soo good as made by authors therefore MS should make the most difficult things like phisics, failure system, economy and servers for it, airline system and all what I described above. Simple things like sceneries should be left for third party studios.

    Moreover about multiplayer:
    Multiplayer should be hybrid of multiplayer and single player mode. Where we can fly with friend in multicrew aircraft in multiplayer world but EVERY EMPTY tower (no palyer ON - like on VATSIM) should be controlled by AI ATC, the same with planes, if the are is empty it should be filed in AI planes like in GTA online to make the world more dynamic.    … Expand

Most importantly, the devs can't even get some basic things done right-- like flight dynamics-- you can actually fly a 787-10 in full thrust with vertical speed of +8000ft/min and accelerate at the same time; plus all those exaggerated physical effects (e.g torque effect), what a garbage, even FSX is more realistic flight dynamics than this shxt. Also have to mention that this poorly done garbage is full of bugs, like the control assignment sometimes can't function properly, and the gauges go dead during flight, which is just like an Alpha-testing-stuff. Honestly, for those fly simmers, never do simming with MFS 2020, stick with P3D/XP11 for now, until PMDG releases their NG3; for new plyers by the way, just don't expect the tutorial will teach you much (because there are just a few courses, HA!), unless you don't expect to learn any deeper aviation knowledge, then the tutorials would be fine for you. To briefly sum up, this should not be called as SIMULATOR, as it's just a unrealistic/ unprofessional buggy garbage.… Expand

    Really laggy for me, the game keeps freezing and there’s a 2-5 seconds delay when I move my flight stick and when the plane moves. Certain landmarks keep shaking around and lagging. The game keeps crashing whenever I change something in settings or go to the menu.

    Juego de nicho para los amantes de la aviación. Problemas para descargarlo en steam y los requisitos mínimos recomendados son falsos. Te encuentras que para moverlo dignamente necesitas un equipo muy muy potente y repito, dignamente es 1080p y 50 fps. Texturas y gráficos a nivel de suelo horribles si bien ds el pego volandoy.acon los aviones bien recreados. Solo para fanáticos de la aviación

    It’s not just a game, it’s a phenomenon. It lets you explore literally the whole planet – cities, mountains, lakes, rivers, even my house was there – from the cockpits of 20-30 (depends on the version of the game) airplanes. Flying experiences are also great and vary from machine to machine. I’m sure I’ll be returning to MFS for years to come. [11/2020, p.38]

    When all is said and done, Microsoft Flight Simulator in its current state reminds me a lot of Sea of Thieves shortly after launch. The game has a lot of promise and a lot of potential, but it is marred by a number of issues that keep it from really shining. Once the issues have been worked out in six months or a year from now, I fully expect Microsoft Flight Simulator to be a must-have title. Right now, unless you are a hardcore flight sim fanatic, I would pass on buying the premium version and just stick to playing the basic version that's included with GamePass.
