Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020

In a spin the aircraft remains stalled. The airspeed indicator is basically a total airpressure indicator that needs airflow along the longitudinal axis of the aircraft.
So in a spin, the aircraft moves through the air, but in a downwards rotating motion where the airflow is at a high angle of attack which will only register like small fluctuations on the airspeed indicator. If the speed increases, that means the aircraft is no longer stalled.

Man… That is looking really fly. I still haven’t made my mind up about what version I want.

I think that worked. The screen flashed. Now, we gotta figure where they are saved.

in my documents, isn’t there a ‘my screenshots’ directory? might be there.

Anybody having luck with Steam? Per the MS announcement, it should be working. Hitting install only downloads a 200kb file, trying to launch prompts the following:

Same issue here @boomerang10

edit: I restarted steam and it is now downloading 600MB

It’s connectivity dependent. Check your Options / General / Data / Online Functionality is set to ON.

This is the documentary that sold me on this sim. And I am glad it did! My first non-combat flight sim in 30 years.

If i had a slightly better rig I’d consider getting it…

Don’t you fly DCSW as well?
If you can run DCSW in a decent quality, FS2020 should also run decently.

That’s the thing somehow as of late DCS it’s getting noticeably worse.

I dread the idea of spending money of this if then I have to chop on the details or resolution…

Maybe do the game pass thing and try it for $1.00 ?
