The update is fine, just as long as you don't use the default ATC. I've not had any other issues and I have noticed performance is slightly better. I'm now getting 2-3fps more than I did before. Haven't changed any settings, so that's good. -

Sim update 12 just released and as far as I can tell, it doesn't really mean much for PC players. It's huge news for console players though. WASM is finally available on Xbox. There are quite a few bug fixes with a few planes as well as bugs in the game itself. The weather and live traffic has been improved quite a lot so that's great news if you use those things. However, the default ATC is kind of annoying now. I've not seen other people report this, but my ATC has been "communicating" with live aircraft and obviously they aren't replying because they're real planes flown by real people. So if this is an issue for you, it's probably best to switch it off until there's a hotfix. -

Damn, that's a lot of point at the end of this. @firedflyalone got over 3/4 of a billion points in just 4 days. It really shows how far things have come in the last 10 years. Back in 2013, you'd basically need a super computer to get that many in such a short amount of time. Now you can do that with a few off the shelf GPUs. Also congrats to all of the prize winners! -

What are you using? I'm using a single 2070, 400W (for my entire house, not just the GPU, as of typing this) for 2.2M PPD. -

You should have a look (and if you have a chance, try) at GT7s S-10 license and trying to get the gold time.

I'm not doing anything today, so I thought I'd follow the flights that this plane did yesterday because it's something I've wanted to try for a while but didn't have the time as it literally is a full time job work day. However I failed immediately and didn't look at the departure times so I'm currently 5 hours ahead of schedule. I suppose I could just throw in one or two more flights from today, otherwise I'll just be sitting here with MSFS running in the background not doing anything for 5 hours. EDIT: Nevermind, the kind of important features broke because of the poor implementation of pause/unpause in MSFS. One of the features is autopilot doesn't work anymore so for the last flight after taking some screenshots and accidentally pressing the pause button, I had to manually fly from Stuttgart to London. Which is pretty handy because that's the last flight that IRL plane did yesterday. I'm going to put these screenshots in the screenshots of your game thread. In the end, it was just under 7 hours. For some reason FS isn't counting my takeoffs anymore, only landings. Anyway, flight ended up being: Lisbon (LPPT) --> London (EGLL) --> Aberdeen (EGPD) --> London (EGLL) --> Stuttgart (EDDS) --> London (EGLL) I did spot a smiley face while leaving Lisbon. It wasn't too long after takeoff from runway 3 on the INB04N departure. It's about 1.4NM north of the end of the runway. -

I'm not sure, I have the Steam version. I would assume it should work without issues. I use my Index with Assetto Corsa using a third party launcher so that doesn't go through Steam and I've never had issues with it. I've also used it with FSX before FS2020 released. -

Why is VR so difficult for Asobo to implement properly? I've just spent the last 2 hours trying to get VR to work properly. The issues I had are: The controller doesn't work, but I have audio and good fps The controller does work, but now audio doesn't work and good fps The controller and audio both work, but now it's running at 5fps. One guy in his spare time made VR work flawlessly with Assetto Corsa and he did it for free. Asobo has the financial backing of a $1,860,000,000,000 company and I'm still having the same issues with VR now that I was having over 2 years and 9 updates. -
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 Can you tell where I am? Bonus VR screenshot at night. I do like how light pollution can be seen in the clouds around that airport.

I've bought an petrol. This cost me £110 and it's not even full. This much petrol is good for ~260 miles of driving.

Gran Turismo 7 Nope. The producer said that there's no plans for a PC version. That nVidia leak a while back for GT7 could have just been software developed specifically for Polyphony Digital so they can test the game out on PC instead of exporting it to a developer console like game developers often do. Given they've got Sonys financial backing, I can see this happening.
