    It's IMO also an example of Microsoft returning to a franchise that fits them as a product, which is so fucking rare, lol.

    Companion article is here, but the Digital Foundry videos are usually better overall to be able to see what they're explaining: How Flight Simulator delivers maximum fidelity visuals

    I've been watching Quill18s videos on FS2020 and it looks incredible. It's not my genre and i dont have the money or patience for it but even so i am really tempted to buy it or at the very least give it a try and buy game pass for a month.

    I've not played any flight sim since 2000 which my Granddad randomly brought me (along with The Phantom Menace game) back in 2000. I was ten and after a few short attempted flights and crashes i instantly put away and never played again. One of my biggest disappointments other than it being a sim and not arcade was how flat and ass everything looked. This looks like 10 year old me imagined a FlightSim would look.

    I've got a Logitech joystick that I bought years ago for ARMA 3. I'm seriously considering biting the bullet and buying my first flight sim with this though!
