The game recommended high settings too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karpaty Lviv Posted August 22, 2020 Author Share Posted August 22, 2020 According to this, it’ll be out for Xbox One at some point. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/davidthier/2020/08/21/is-microsoft-flight-simulator-coming-to-xbox-one-or-xbox-series-x/amp/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
placidcasual Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 (edited) This is on Xbox games pass for PC. It seems a bit too good to be true that I can play it, and to be fair quite a few other decent games including FM20, for £3.99 a month as opposed to spending 60 notes on it. Anyone use this to play it? Edited August 22, 2020 by placidcasual 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone use this to play it? That's how I play it, but I'd expect the subscription to become something more like £10.99 a month soonish, but that's probably still a very good deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Game Pass is incredible value for money. The third party games come and go (Red Dead 2 is about to be removed after only a few months), but any new Microsoft first party games are on there for good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNU_Linux Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 This game is the new Crysis in terms of bringing hardware to it's knees. Seems the game also is DX11 only & has no DX12 or Vulkan yet. No Vulkan isn't suprising as can't see Microsoft offering a competing api. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Some hardware testing of it too complicated for me to follow. https://www.tomshardware.com/uk/features/microsoft-flight-simulator-benchmarks-performance-system-requirements 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G51 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Had a go at downloading this and simply didn't have the processor speed to play it - I've an i7 @ 2.80GHz. Looks fantastic though. Really want to just tour about the world and see it. I'd be surprised if an Xbox One has the ability to play it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, knock down the quality and it runs perfectly well on even reasonably modest hardware. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had changed the GRQ to Low and it was nowhere near so I just uninstalled the b*****d. If I can be fucked re-installing I'll take a look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to that article, CPU speed is the main bottleneck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
