I finally got things running (18 hour download here!). It looks good, the ground objects are not as concise as I thought they would be. The control systems are VERY different, getting used to them. Flew over Misty's Place ... kind of sad.  After the first 5 hours with it, I'm sure I will enjoy it, and I will probably be a better pilot, I'm learning some things. But from what I've seen, I will probably be ready to RETURN to Misty Moorings sooner than later.

Looks more like a nice game (with very good graphics) than it does a workable "simulator".

Correct about very good graphics in fact a better word is stunning IMHO. Phew weee night flying is a entire new dimension. 

A high tech flight Simulation it is, a step ahead of the competition in fact. PMDG is investing in the platform  and they are a serious flight simulation in their own rights.

All I am missing is RTMM scenery but, I do have P3D V5 installed until then :)

First of all, I don't have the FS2020 flight simulator and probably won't install it for longer time.

Have you ever flown over the wilderness of the Pacific Northwest or Alaska?

However, what I saw at a friend's place - he has excellent latest high-quality hardware - partially shocked me and cannnot be compared with what we have with P3D v4.x or v5 in no way!
Amongst other tings, different airports are missing, rivers are not properly flattened or drawn, lakes sit on plateaus (terrain issues) a.s.o.
Even well-known airfields in the wilderness are only marginally equipped with objects (new standard stuff I suppose).
And our beautiful RTMM sceneries cannot be integrated either.

For me this is an absolute "no go" at the moment. You cannot fly daily over those well equipped big airports which are are spread out worldwide and admiring them. This is not RTMM business.

Let's wait what the future will bring ...
Many greetings
Dieter

Way to go Karl!! Haven't even bothered with it yet.

Honestly, hate to say but not really impressed, looks more like a game than a sim. A hud and chart gauges..hmmm in GA aircraft? Flight path outlines.. Looks more tailored to new simmers. Orbx port over airports. (And I really don't need to find my house! - I know where is it is!)

I'm thinking that I'll be waiting a wee bit before taking a 159.99 (CAD) plux tax plunge for the MSFS2020 (premium/deluxe version).

Don't worry for me in france i don't have fiber as my Home Spain Balearics island ....

i donwlaod for a long time 21:30 hours with a simply ADLS  the 95.3 giga :o

take your time and it's comming soon  ;D

MSFS2020 Keyboard Command chart has now been updated to version 3!

For those who are using MSFS2020, I have attached a revised keyboard commands chart that was originally posted by GtounetMS on MS forums.  I have made one addition and several corrections.  This is a must have if you don't have a keyboard commands chart.

I have been testing MSFS2020 a lot and will have more extensive comments soon including my thoughts on RTMM and MSFS2020.

Great Rod and looking forward to all your thoughts and expertise here on MSFS2020

Maybe a new thread should be started or beter yet a forum...

 8) So far, I love it. Runs smooth as silk for me. Long download, but worth it. Helicopters are promised "soon".

After flying in the MSFS my P3d always crashes. Have to reboot before starting P3D, then everything is normal.
