I probably won't be driving anything faster than a 172, so bandwidth won't be the problem...

I am also pretty sure that this sim is a pretty important IP for Microsoft and they will leverage it to somehow tie into their ecosystem - at the very least it will be MS Store exclusive.
And yes, I am also pretty close to pay 'whatever it takes' to get into it.
I am a bit worried about the learning curve, I do really hope the thing will include a complete course how to fly. I am actually interested to take the difficult route even though there will be surely an arcade mode.
I have 7-800 mb/s download, so I'm good.
Why do you prefer slow planes? If I recall correctly, IRL you are a military pilot... right?
This development snapshot poses an interesting question about campaign/game progression, implying that there will actually be something. Thoughts?

Damage model refers to malfuntion? I mean, if I clip the control tower I am toast, right?
Nice to see VR popping up as major wishlist item.
Is this just going to be civilian flight simulator or will they have diverse cluster bomb disperal and delivery systems at some point?
I heard a rumor that on top of a planned single shard mmo world, there's also going to be military jet fighters/bombers with fully enabled PvP. Sounds pretty awesome tbh.
Yes, but I like just buzzing around VFR.
It sounds too good to be true. Either it will be the most expensive purchase on MS Store ever or the fidelity will be rather shallow. They tried "more accessible" flight sim with Microsoft flight tho and it failed rather quickly. Quickly after Dovetail made a eye candy platform on FSX Flight Sim World aiming to more broad audience and... it failed instantly.
Right now there is Prepar3d, Xplane 11 for more advanced users and Aerofly, FSX Steam for more casual folks. I hope MS will be successful with this new sim but.... ehhhh. I`m worried as usual

It's easily my most anticipated game by a long shot, but I'm nervous as hell. Chief among my concerns is that I'm moving to a piece of property next spring that at best will rely on a microwave tower for Internet, and might even have it's view partially blocked by mountains, so sweating bullets about that. As far as pricing goes, it almost certainly will be subscription based.
I can see why you are worried, streaming the scenery on flight will require good power!
Yes, but I like just buzzing around VFR.
The new MFS is going to be outstanding for VFR and bush flying.
Yeah, can't wait to fly out of Anchorage and up to my old stomping grounds on the Yentna River. With the seasonal real time weather modeling flying the Iditarod trail through the wilderness of AK while the race is in progress is going to be mind bending.

I'd do both.
From what've seen, the landscape will be fantastic at cruising altitude as well. I imagined flying around in a 747 to major airports, then discover the area by a smaller plane - endless roleplaying possibilities
If I were you I'd fly to some of the most difficult airports to land at.
Edit: what were you/are you flying?
Me too, I am looking forward to trace back many of my backpacking travels from 10+ years. I'll never forget some of the spectacular landings at the Cook Islands and the Faroes, for example.
When you factor in the real time weather, seasons and VFR, it's stunning to think what a learning tool this will be, besides just a fun and diverting game. Imagine being able to fly over parts of the world you've been in your life, or more importantly places you'll never get a chance to go, and not only see what they look like from the air but also experience their weather in real time? Setting aside my criticisms of video gaming and children earlier, this is one piece of software that I think is going to be crucial to get in the hands of our kids as a educational opportunity.I'd do both.

Yes, short fields are going to be fun. So many of them have disappeared in the US, though.I'd do both.

The fidelity is so good if they add depth they will have Sky Citizen.
Blimey....I'm presuming this is just for the alpha? Can't see how they are going to sell many copies if they require 32gb ram...or how it will play on consoles...
