Excellent and already pre ordered the premium package. 

... great news about ORBX involvement as well. Now all I need is for that GeForce 3080ti to arrive... when ever that will be. Will be fun to see what my 1080 GTX will give though until then.

Interesting about the requirements and nothing said about a internet connection at least from what I’ve seen while pre ordering. Probably taken for granted these days but with the Scenery Data streaming  I would think a mention at least.

Robert, it's in the specs, see my post. So I think they take it for granted.

Orbx has announced their support for FSXX so I hope their PNW and SAK sceneries will be salvaged.  I have been looking at some of the FSXX files and looks as though some of the old type traffic files (bgl) are in use so perhaps the RTMM marine and float traffic can be salvaged.  There's a lot of work to do just over the horizon.
Just have to wait for the SDK to be released.

Dex amazing you think something can  be savaged for FSXX.  A light on the horizon it is.

I get it free by virtue of having a premium game pass subscription. Does that mean I'll be downloading it on Aug 18th? Nope.

The ICON A5 aircraft is a “ Float “ of sorts but, I agree with you Karl and Klaus. One could hope Float aircraft will come along with Helicopters as well as VR. It’s all about money and I am sure a large hanger will be filled with aircraft’s and add-ons to purchase not long after August 18th.

Happy FS days ahead...

I'm afraid that at release time there is no water operation as every single airplane has wheels. I also did not see water operation in any video.

But as you say, Robert, probably it will be there soon.

Karl, to be honest the ICON A5 might be more like a jet ski than a Amphibious aircraft  but in all rights it’s the only water aircraft that come with MSFS 2020.   I think in the first promotion video you catch a glimpse of it in all it’s glory. 🙂

I had the Icon A5 in P3D.  It is an amphib and in real life, the wings fold and can be towed with your car to your local boat ramp and launched.  ;D

I am pretty sure there is a very good reason why there are no floats or helos available at this time.  I don't think it is because there was no one to offer models or physics.  One thing those aircraft have in common is ground/water operations away from airports.  These types of operations will allow an aircraft to get up close and personal with an "object" that might be stationary and only 6 feet away but not at an airport. Now what happens when that object is just a 3-D image without hard vertices.  Maybe the result is not so pretty.
