Quote from: Sparko;442568I wont be buying anything other than the standard edition to start with, mainly because the aircraft available in the standard edition are all that id be happy with for the moment, enough for me to scratch that itch, oh and you can upgrade at a later date too should you wish.

The big thing for me is that VATSIM are on board, I plan on getting back into that eventually.  I'm all up for anything MP too Tuna, I really can't wait for this to drop, I've been waiting for so so long!!
Ditto for me in due course.  

Standard Edition
Mods/Addons
VATSIM
MP

What's the right term that that, a quadfector? :getmecoat:

Might be a silly question, although i can't find the answer on tinterweb, but when this drops on the 18th, will it drop at a specific time does anyone know? I plan on taking the day off work thats all but a bit pointless of its 7pm in the evening or something, anyone know?

Reddit says midnight and that the can be seen on the MS Store as "Available on 18 August 2020 00:00". Assuming UTC but since the worst that can happen is it's PDT 8 hours behind UK then by 8am you should have it, if you can download the 100GB needed by that time!

Don't shoot me if it's totally wrong.

That's about 15 minutes, right?  :getmecoat:


Thank god for fibre, oh how I do not miss the days of 0.5Mbps ADSL.

Obsidian Ant (known for his Elite Dangerous content) has made sever nice videos of the new FS.

Spoilers obviously so avoid if they will take away your virgin enjoyment of an area.

Surely a fly over March and the OC is more appropriate? :norty: Not sure the view would be quite as spectacular, but you do have the option of a kebab pitstop half way through.

I came into this world with nothing,
through careful management I\'ve got most of it left.

I'm planning to pick this up on the 18th or there abouts (more likely when Scan decides to actually dispatch my shiny new joystick!). I've only ever slightly moistened my toesies in flight sim before but I'm watching lots of videos and getting rather excited! It wouls be cool to jump into a sever and fly the world sightseeing with you guys !
I only know my own ideas of other peoples ideas.
