    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.

    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.

    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?

    - 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 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

    Bad performance but visuals that are clearly meant to stand the test of time. It's like they made a game in 2025 and released it 5 years early. Because it looks like it's from the future but also feels like it's meant to run on a PC from the future.

    The simulation is not the best but what default aircraft for simulators are ever great? It's a big step up from FSX and Prepared anyway.

    The simulation is not the best but what default aircraft for simulators are ever great? It's a big step up from FSX and Prepared anyway. X-plane, not so much.

    And there in lies the proble. You see simulators have, for many many years now, always relied on thirdparty add-on content to make the simulator actually good. And this is no exception. And you know what, i'm sick of that. This industry is so set in it's ways it's shooting itself in the foot because of it. This game costs 70 bucks MINIMUM, 120 maximum. At that price you simply can not say "well just wait for the add-ons to come out to make it worthwhile". Nah i'm not gonna do that. Time these developers learn that you need to ship a product that is worthy of it's price tag, and if you can not do that maybe it's time to go free to play like DCS did.

    I also don't even want to know what will happen once all these live service deals microsoft has going on for it's AI and weather and traffic and all that, run out.

    So in short... if you want to just **** around for a bit, sure. Get the base version. If you want serious simulation either stick with the old sims or wait for this one to get the hundreds of dollars worth of add-on content it needs. And stay away from the deluxe and premium version at all cost. They are a ripoff.    … Expand

    To be honest it sucks hard. I will not go into details because I would have to write a book, but in comparable the A2A, PMDG or even FlightOne or Carenado, those defaults planes are a joke.

    First of all, keep in mind that if you buy this game via Steam, you won't be able to refund it, because Steam downloads a 500Mb launcher and then the latter downloads the whole game (at the moment over 110Gb), which means unless you can download the whole thing in under 2 hours, by the time you're done, the product will no longer be eligible for a refund.

    I like the game and I'm enjoying it but there are few problems here and there.
    It took ages to download because the launcher is buggy and can get stuck and reset.
    The loading screen is way too slow even while using a SSD.
    The UI is broken and while in menu shortcuts for keyboard and joypad don't work, you have to use the mouse.
    Tutorial is really really short.
    Airplane selection isn't that big.
    Base price is 70 euro...it's almost a 20% price increase from the usual 60 euro for no reason.
    If you want more airplanes or better graphics (airports) you have to pay even more, like 30 euro more for a few planes? How can few planes costs almost half of the base game?
    Unless you allow the game to constantly download data, the graphics won't look really good and even then certain areas look fine while others are still very very ugly.    … Expand

Gameplay was a bit jittery with some pop-in, but I blame my PC for that. My main issue with it as a game is monotony.

    On the surface, this is an incredible achievement and a glorious experience. Graphically, an immense step up from previous simulators, using Bing Maps and Azure technology to stream in near-photo realistic surrounds in the game, with live weather, live aircraft, etc. Although the game takes quite a beefy rig to play, when you do find yourself in the thick of things you will be consistentlyOn the surface, this is an incredible achievement and a glorious experience. Graphically, an immense step up from previous simulators, using Bing Maps and Azure technology to stream in near-photo realistic surrounds in the game, with live weather, live aircraft, etc. Although the game takes quite a beefy rig to play, when you do find yourself in the thick of things you will be consistently taken aback by how beautiful the game can be. Your first flight and first few experiences will be breathtaking, whimsical, and exhilarating.

    Then, the honeymoon phase will wear off. The more you learn about the aircrafts provided in game, the more you learn the avionics systems and how to actually pilot these planes, the more frustrated you will become. Glitches are rampant. It can be from something annoying, like having to press a button 20 times in a row to get it to turn on, to something game breaking, like engine failures, autopilot crashing you to the ground, or autopilot not letting you follow your course. I haven't even scratched the surface, but the two main planes I personally enjoy flying are just disastrous. They hardly work in their current state and I think it would be fair that most people would deserve a full refund.

    That coupled with the fact that Asobo is knowingly and admittedly rushing out patches and continuing to break more and more things in the game with each patch, your frustration will just increase that much more. The phrase, "one step forward, two steps back" certainly applies here. When I find a workaround for a bug in game, I'm only met with another. I'm not a game developer, and while like most people I realize that modern-day publishers force developers to rush development, it's just not acceptable in the realm of reality to push broken patches and break the game in such a manner, especially when said company doesn't really do hotfixes.

    So while this is a technically impressive game, beautiful, serene at times when it works, I cannot give this a good score. I can't even give it a 5, a mediocre. I want to say it's fantastic, but it just doesn't **** work. That's a damn shame. I know they will eventually fix it, but given the way things are going, it's going to be a long time. I'd prefer to actually fly my planes properly on the product I purchased sooner than later. It would be unrealistic for a game of this complexity and scope to be perfect right out of the gate, but I shouldn't have to wait what's seeming to be at least six months or so to actually have things in a flyable order. I'd like to fly planes in a flight simulator. It's not okay, it will never be okay, and we need to stop telling ourselves that these kinds of things are all right.

    Not everybody shares this "zero-criticism" mindset of course, but I see it run quite rampant on the official user forums, which the company frequently directs you to for help. I'd liken it to if you bought, say, a refrigerator, and when you brought it home, the freezer didn't work. People berated you for complaining, and you had to wait four months for the company to get it in working order. But when they fixed the freezer, now the fridge portion didn't work. It's not okay in this case, and it's not okay with video games. This is not a small indie company, this is a $60 title from a major publisher. Respectfully, but firmly demand your products function they way they were intended and promoted.

    Some people might not experience said glitches, those that aren't flight sim enthusiasts at all and have just jumped on the hype train and want to fly a Cessna 172 around with no experience. I have no doubt they'll enjoy their time thoroughly. But for me, I'm not enjoying myself at all. I'm frustrated with all aspects of this game.

    Again, a damn shame.    … Expand

    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.
