Since we are speaking about the carrier variant…at the moment we are not planning to include a traditional carrier, reason being that – as far as we know, dynamic carriers are not landable – it is possible to create a static ship (and we did some work on one), but carrier ops from a static ship does not seem acceptable for us at the moment… we hoped that the Top Gun package will fix this.Īlso, we have been talking with Microsoft (again) to discuss the possibility of adding weapons, even if hidden or as “Easter eggs”…and the answer is no. There is still some work to do on this variant (tailhook, weapon bays, fuel probe and crew ladder are still missing animation and textures) but it is not far from completion. “We are having a lot of fun with Microsoft Flight Simulator while testing the -C variant of the F-35, which has now its first two complete liveries: VF-101 line and NAWDC “Top Gun” (that has recently received its first two jets).


IndiaFoxtEcho provided a new look at the C variant of its F-35, alongside a development update. None of FS2020’s competitors include the same number of features, quality, and accuracy in one affordable package.Today third-party developers have released more new screenshots of upcoming aircraft and scenery add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Much of the environment will be streamed, so you also need a fast connection. You’ll need at least 8GB RAM, 2GB VRAM, and an NVIDIA GTX 770 or Radeon RX 570. Where can you run this program?įS2020 works on Xbox One and Windows 10. While they also offer a wide variety of airplanes and expansive worlds, these are add-ons created by 3rd parties, and it could cost a pretty penny to get them up to the same standard as Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.Īlthough it doesn’t include VR in the initial release like the VR-ready DCS, FS2020 has the option of adding it later. If that’s not exciting enough, you can also visit your own house to do a fly-by.įS2020 comes with more base features than any other simulator, including competitors X Plane and Prepar3D. There are over 37,000 airports to visit, or you can also stop at one of the 40 hand-crafted airports that are almost exact replicas of their real-world counterparts. However, you can also try out a few amphibious craft, private jets, and passenger planes. You can choose one of 30 different aircraft to explore detailed landscapes, with familiar models like the Airbus, Boeing, and Cessna available. You can fly over the pyramids before landing at a replica of Cairo International Airport – that’s the breath-taking experience promised by Microsoft FS2020.įS2020 price-tag fits the market average, but if you shop smart you can get it cheaper than almost every other simulator.
