Game Discussions Microsoft Flight Simulator

Looks like it will be playable offline to some degree, but will require online services for "full performance and functionality" (my translation), whatever that means, according to a Microsoft rep at Gamescom (article in German).

That's a good news. So I guess the prediction that you will be able to "pre-download" a specific area or a route and then play it offline was correct.
Nice.

Indeed, if thats the case I worrying slightly less I`m lucky to have a pretty stable connection but its always better to have offline alternative.

The released screenshots so far have been amazing. This upcoming Thursday is supposed to be a hefty update for the Insider area of the website. I hope we find out some details on the beta program starting in mid September, I want to get my hands on this new sim.

Detailed recap of the recent press/influencer meetup that Microsoft hosted. Lots of good discussion about the game and plenty of eye candy to marvel at too.

I think I'm going to need a new PC for this.

Hell, me and the wife are gonna need VR sets.

Thinking about this one, cheap since it does not require room VR.

Depends. If they flesh it out a bit with some form of career mode then I’m interested.

Any form of progression really.

There's been no mention of VR from Microsoft that I'm aware of and to be honest as others have already mentioned it's unlikely.

No VR, for a pure flight simulator in 2020?

Sounds weird.

Did Microsoft get the rights back from Lockheed? I believe when Microsoft got out of the business they sold it off to them. I am a FS junkie........... Currently running X-plane and DCS.

No VR no buy.

No VR no buy.

Watch the video Jenner posted. In summary (as best memory serves) no VR at release.

Watch the video Jenner posted. In summary (as best memory serves) they sold the engine but with a claim-back clause. The French developers however have replaced much/most of the original engine, and have been working on it for more than 5 years.
