Said it before ... The sensible thing to do would be not to pre-order and to try it on Game Pass for a while ....
Oh my how i laughed at this comment on the 30th July a few pages back... 
I did my best !I’m downloading it on game pass but it’s still MS flight sim, it’s going to be great (eventually) isn’t it?
I definitely wouldn’t pre order it though, unless I got loads of free add ons etc.

Lovely day for it chaps.
Can't get over how pretty this game is, looking forward to getting it on a new 38" Ultrawide and a new 3000 series card to really push it. A few bugs have cropped up now - ATC has just turned into static noise, and live pause causes some unexpected, horrifying results.
I also can't help but feel MS pretty much stuck their middle finger up at anyone pre-ordering this through Steam! Also a bit let down with how no British cities are accurately modelled, I was hoping Manchester would be more accurate than it is. Going to pass over London soon on the descent to Heathrow so excited to see how that looks.

! Why not Manchester or even East Mids ? GIBRALTER !!!! ??? Have you seen how many US airports there are in the Standard Version ?Tell you something else ( sad I know ) that I will really miss ... Replay .... I was flying my Aerosoft Lightning the other day and doing touch and go's and overshoots at Coningsby then watching the reply in various weather conditions... Moving the cam to the end of the runway ...
Cant do it ( yet) in FS2020...
Oh yes then did some circuits with my Rift S
in the same F6 ... I have a feeling VR support is going to be some time ....

Just read that there is no default profile yet for the X52 ! Also looks like loads of people having trouble with the peripheral setup and assignments ...
It's not very user friendly .... No profile for the X52 is just lazy ....
Weird my X52 appears to have something there by default.It's not very user friendly .... No profile for the X52 is just lazy ....
I did nothing to configure it yet it recognised the controllers and when I go into it all the buttons have functions assigned. View, trim, landing gear etc. It even includes an image to the right of the mappings showing me what all the button numbers on it are.
Is this totally different to what other people are seeing or am I being daft?
Still I need an excuse for that Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS so might just pretend it's not working anyway ....

Sorry cant answer that but ... Be nice to have an appraisal of the X56 ! Worthy upgrade to my still working fine 16 year old X52 ?
I would say so. It's nice and chunky, loads of buttons, too many sometimes, quite easy to assign stuff, RGB lighting makes it look nice, etc.Sometimes throttle seems a tad stiff but it adjusts, and joystick springs sometimes jam up on me making the stick floppy, but that may be because I've used the wrong tension.
Definitely worth the upgrade IMHO
