Sorry Korean air suspended 747 in march

They still have the sexy 747-8i, though. It's seasonal (well, it was) in Sydney.

It's a shame only 3 airliners ordered the 748. Lufthansa, Korean Air and Air China.

Love the LF 748 retro. There's something about retro liveries on modern planes that looks so amazing.

All 4 engine planes have been or will be retired very soon. A340, A380 and the 747.
Oh wow, never realised that.

Wouldn't that be a bad thing? As in 4 engined planes can still fly with an engine failure , by dropping to 2 or 3 engines.

Engine failure on a 2 engine plane means it's coming down right?

What's the minimum of ETOPS, 60 minutes?

Wow that's amazing. I'd have thought it'd make the aircraft unstable having thrust only on a single side.

Gotta love technology :)

@Fartin luther king, seen the flood of videos on YouTube from the Beta? Looks pretty damn good.

I noticed there's no harbour bridge, though. Opera house has amazing detail but the harbour Bridge isn't there. Weird.

This guys playing on HIGH @ 60fps with a 2080Ti ... reckons you'll need a set of 2080Ti's or a 3000 for ULTRA.

Looks pretty glitchy with traffic, and some of the detail is missing. Circular Quay is a flat mess, Harbour Bridge and Barangaroo missing. Buildings like the apartments at Blues Point are basic. Probably quite a lot or work left there.


Was there much detail in the original?

Yeah, the lack of harbour bridge is weird to me. Unless they're adding it in at full release? The cars are a hot mess, too.

Still, though. Looks amazing. Love how you can play with the weather/clouds.

Minimum system requirements

You will be able to install and run FS2020 when your system meets the minimal requirements set by Microsoft. Please note that Flight Simulator won't look at superb as it looks like in the movies published by Microsoft, as they used an ideal system for this.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 1200, or Intel i5-4460
GPU: Radeon RX 570, or Nvidia GTX 700
VRAM: 2 GB
RAM: 8 GB
HDD: 150 GB
Internetspeed: 5 Mbps (0.6 MB/s)

Recommended system requirements

Do you want a smooth Flight Simulator 2020 experience? If average graphics are good enough for you you need at least the speciaifcations below for your computer.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1500X, or Intel i5-8400
GPU: Radeon RX 590, or Nvidia GTX 970
VRAM: 4 GB
RAM: 16 GB
HDD: 150 GB
Internetspeed: 20 Mbps (2.5 MB/s)

Ideal system requirements

Do you want to get the most out of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and would you like to be stunned by all details this new Flightsim has to offer, including its breathtaking sceneries? Then you do need a heavy PC, including fast internet connection.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 2700X, or Intel i7-9800X
GPU: Radeon VII, or Nvidia RTX 2080
VRAM: 8 GB
RAM: 32 GB
HDD: 150 GB SSD
Internetspeed: 50 Mbps (6.3 MB/s)

I call bullshit on the minimum. It'll probably run 720p/30 FPS.

I fit in the recommended requirements but I wonder what kind of frame rate I'll get.

Probably
Minimum: 1920 x 1080 @ 2fps
Recommended: 1920 x 1080 @ 20fps
Ideal: 1920 x 1080 @ 50fps

Massive jump between Min and Recommended, and I dare say it'll look shit scaling the graphics right back.

Seen a video on YT last night and a guy was testing it out, had a very good PC and the best he could get in 4K was 30 FPS tops. Was dipping between 25/30.

That's the problem with these games/sims. You need NASA to build you a computer.

It's true. Asked my cousin which version he's getting and he replied "I spent 4 and a half grand on my PC, which version do you think I'm getting".

How much RAM do you currently have, 32?
