Zaku3 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Can't play this until Sept. My flight stick has been damaged. The USB plug is unusable. It appears that modt sticks are sold out because of FS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I wish they let Drew speak a bit more in that Quick look, but I guess it's kind of against the idea of the video, but he's got some great insight as you can see in that video I posted of him playing Xplane on the first page. Even though it's a different game probably some stuff you want to keep in mind while flying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Flew over my house. Crashed the plane before I found the active pause feature. I think I'll try some of the Cessna training stuff, but this game really seems like it demands a flight stick, and I really can't justify that.

At this point I either wait until Sept for a restock of the x52, buy a Warthog which is super expensive, or buy a X56 for 380. Do you have interest in flight sims. There are alot of older ones that are good. Plus DCS World is free to play. Though you only get the SU-25 Frogfoot and a trainer P-51 mustang base.

JPDunks4 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I need to setup my Flight stick. Figure I can also use it for the Rogue Squadron game coming soon too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moa Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I'm giving it a month before I decide to buy any special peripherals for this just to make sure my enthusiasm doesn't get the better of me, but I'm not sure if I should go for a yoke or a flight stick. I'm kind of leaning yoke since I'm not terribly interested in combat sims and would rather have a more true to life experience in MSFS, but the broader uses of a stick are tempting.

While I look forward to Squadrons there is a strong chance a stick might not be a good competitive option. Broke down and order this X56 I found on walmart. Get's here next week.

What would DX12 have offered over DX11 with the launch assets? DX12 with ray-tracing is coming in a future update, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a mp focused space combat game. Think of it as a blend of the Starfighter assault mode in Battlefront 2 mixed with the old space sim games.

That means instead of 30fps average I’d get 31fps. The performance boost with DX12 only really exists if you’re running super low resolution and/or have a weak cpu.

Brian Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 AFAIK all the green dots are other players. I feel like MS Flight Sim is going to create a new genre of gaming events where people track down IRL weather events in-game to experience them. It's so incredible that this stuff is possible. pic.twitter.com/ZBws2qFIbc — Technically Alex ✊🏿🏳️🌈 (@TechnicalDIY) August 27, 2020 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
