My Microsoft Sidewinder Precision 2 isn't recognised and that was a pain to set up. I can't imagine what yours with extra buttons would take you!You know what ? I just cant be arsed wasting my time with it .... I've uninstalled and i'll revisit when it's finished ....

So far, I haven't even flown because I've been mapping the joystick since my keyboard doesn't have a numpad, so I couldn't disengage the parking brake (couldn't find the lever/switch in the aircraft either). It isn't a smooth process.
So far, it reminds me a little of Microsoft Flight (which was a flop). A little in between serious sim and fun. Looking forward to getting stuck in more though.

Er, that doesn't sound very enthusiastic.
On page 4 I predicted:
It is multiplayer, right? Oddly I haven't seen any videos of people flying together yet.
When I started this thread I felt like a 51 year old kid ... Fantastic news.... I now have zero interest in it.... I dont really care if it succeeds or fails at the moment. It should not have been released in the state it's in. I'm fed up with it.,On page 4 I predicted:

Too much emphasis on how it looks, not enough on how it flies.
Is it just clunky UI that's unfinished?It is multiplayer, right? Oddly I haven't seen any videos of people flying together yet.

Well, I've got an X52 pro and it worked fine 
Took a flight from Kemble to Thruxton earlier, managed to do it entirely without a map, just following the road. It probably helps that I can drive it without a map as well though! Some of the buildings are not quite the right type, but they're in the right place so from a thousand feet or so it's all very pleasant.
The only bizarre moment so far is a van that drove down the runway at me at Kemble, but then I didn't exactly ask for takeoff clearance...

I'm glad you are happy with the sim.DoubleSix said:
Yeah, we get that...
If you were expecting this come out the box and be the finished article then that's a case of over-expectation.
Asobo/MS have attempted a scale and ambition like nothing we've seen before. It represents an amazing starting point and will, I suspect, evolve into the class leader in time.
Anyone that's been around 'gaming' in the last century knows not to expect a finished piece on release day.
Really ? Do you post much in the Video Games forum ? Oh.... Forgot to mention I had put 230 hours into the Alpha and Beta so I had a pretty good idea what to expect .... How much have you played the game ?If you were expecting this come out the box and be the finished article then that's a case of over-expectation.

Not sure why you're so surprised at the content released today given your extensive playtime, most reviewers seemed to know what they were getting and view it as a good starting point for the series reboot, albeit obviously unfinished.
I declared myself an authority did I ? DoubleSix said:
If you knew it wasn't your thing before, and now know it's not your thing again (albeit not surprised obvs), then maybe just step back and let others formulate their view without pissing all over peoples release day exploration of the thing. It is what it is.
Ahhh is that what I'm doing lol ! Fair enough... .... Right that's me done on this thread I'll be back when things improve kowalski655 said:

During installation you should be able to manually select a file path for installation of the 90GB files. I wanted D which had 250GB available rather than C which had nothing available. It seemed to get confused between which drive C or D had space available, but by manually changing the install path to D it worked ok.
Mine also froze after the download like lots of people, but you just have to close and relaunch.
During play I got long stutters, but the fix seems to be taking FS2020 window out of focus view by having another window in the foreground.
Typical PC game and typical Microsoft!
Cheers for getting back mate, I finally got it installed on the drive i want, It's buggy as hell though, It recognises my joystick but my joystick and button's don't function! Thank fck it's on game pass for a quid! I think i will be giving this a miss untill the Devs sort this $hit show out!Mine also froze after the download like lots of people, but you just have to close and relaunch.

As an aside I relented and gave it a few hours yesterday ... My opinion has not changed and I went back to enjoying P3D. As SP says if I had paid for it I would have been even more disgruntled.
p.s. Love the trees growing out of the ships in Southampton lol !

The tree generator definitely needs to be turned down a bit. I was flying around New York and I think there’s even trees on the intrepid aircraft carrier museum. p.s. Thats a bit nerdy and you may not get it !
