Flight simmers are a strange bunch - probably the highest median age of "gamers" & often the only video games they play are flight sims. I'm sure many would vehemently deny being gamers at all but - yes - if you play flight sims you are objectively a gamer.
The Karman line, i.e. the boundary between earth's atmosphere and space, is typically defined as the altitude of 100 km. Regardless of that convention, Theodore Karman himself calculated that the atmosphere becomes too thin to support flight at an altitude of 83.6 km or about 275000 feet. So that maximum altitude does make sense after all, and isn't some arbitrary number!

I'd personally love to see "flight damage/malfunctions" as an add-on. Not even modeling, necessarily (although THAT would be amazing), just if I fly through a freakin' hurricane, I want my instrument panel to light up with warnings and my craft to start flying like it's waterlogged with half a wing torn off. Or if I skip pre-flight checks enough times, an ever increasing chance of my hydraulics or landing gear having issues working. It seems like it'd fit in nicely with FS' vision of "realistic sandbox simulator" and also provide a lot more for pilots to do, especially groups of pilots in multiplayer - just try to tell me you and your friends wouldn't be chasing hurricanes to see who can get closest and/or land safest with the most catastrophic damage, and the mid-air collision would be even more fun if your control panel lit up red and you started flying around like your plane was blind drunk.
I'm pretty sure you can enable birdstrikes in the aircraft failures section. You can also run out of oil pressure and other common problems. But obviously not in the gawdmode LGR was cruising in.
Hey! I worked on the aircraft cfgs and some other modifications for the livery pack you're using. Great to see the work of the livery team spreading far and wide!

Sometimes youtube can brings us close to those we have lost. Makes me smile he is up flying in a video game :') It's only right..
Wooo!!! New video. They closed the Goodwill by me and I was all upset, but it turns out they were just moving to a bigger location. I was sad that goodwills wouldn't make it through the pandemic.

Compare this with the original release that came out in the 80s. The difference in graphics, and how technology evolved in the past 30 years is mind blowing.
I remember playing the -I think- 98 version when I was like 3yo in my dad’s computer. I didn’t understand a thing but I remember it being one of my first interactions with a computer as a kid
Lol I remember playing games on our Commodore 64 as a 3 or 4 year old back in Chicago in maybe 87 or 89.. I would wake up turn on the TV monitor with white snow static that would blind me so bright I couldn’t open my eyes, then wait 5-10 minutes for a game to load up in the C64’s memory using large floppy disks or something. Ahhh good times.
@@casedistorted I owned a copy of Flight Simulator (technically, i suppose, the same product) - written by subLogic before MS brought it for the c64. It came with fight charts listing the com and nav frequencies and a manual that told you how to use them, A vast improvement over this version.
*NC Native* "Oh hey! Asheville! So cool!".... "Wow, Winston looks great!" *LGR Opens Bing maps on Greensboro, *spits out coffee*. "THATS MY ACTUAL HOUSE OKAY LOL"
Man, look at how much this sim has changed over 2 and a half years. From getting to know basic controls of a cessna 152, it‘s gone to vfr navigation, bush trips including realistic winds with valleys, ifr navigation, and takeoff and landing for an a320 I probably missed a mode or two for flight training, but wow, it has expanded so much!
22:22 If the coordinates of the planes are more or less accurate, would you be able to see real world plane crash in fs2020? You're staying on the ground underneath the wing of your small plane, looking at surroundings... and see boeing 777 crashes nearby. That's terrifying
i remember quite vividly the day my father bought to me the sims: livin' large and flight simulator 2000 in a bundle, some 19 to 20 years ago. i ended up playing much more FS2k than anything else, and aeronautics dominated my interests for many years to come.
A part of me wishes I could afford to spend money and space on a pod for running simulators. Dedicating it to various flight sims, space flight games, driving games, and mechwarrior 1,2,3.
Specs aren't wild tho. I mean, a new-ish gen upper level laptop can run it with decent trim. The thing that's really killer here is the memory (not ram) and because of how it works, if your MOBO spec is not up to the task of fast reading, you're probably better off buying an SSD just for this game to upset that problem. To be read (not for ultra-conditions, just decent play/views).
Close enough. When in the air my i7 8750/16 GB/RTX 2070 laptop runs decently at 1080p High End (about 40-50 fps) but when on the ground, especially at a huge airport like LAX or when weather effects were turned on and landing at Lafayette, LA during Hurricane Laura, it dipped down to 8fps because of all the data access.
I really wish this game had a demo or something. This game looks intriguing to me, but 80 dollars is a lot of money to pay for a game that you don't know you'll like.
8:30 - when I saw “Farts” on your plane it reminded me of when you were reviewing the creative DVD player or something along those lines, and as you were playing a game the screensaver popped up... *Penises.* 🤣
i mean, this microsoft tech pales in comparison to the new voxel space engines, and a planet is not a gameplay mechanic by itself. Earth simulators were already a thing years ago, and yeah, even more detailed than the microsoft one, they re generally licensed by military sim companies, but some of the companies that make them, originally made them for games
I spent a year in China, specifically Beijing, specifically a small neighborhood in Beijing called Wudaokou, and I was VERY surprised and pleased that I could fly through it and even recognize a few places. I guess because like you said, it's based on Bing maps.
This is the best review I’ve seen... well done. I particularly like the balanced view of the graphics... yes their great, but over here in Australia, I’d have to say the cities and landscapes are no where near as good as many places in the US.
Clint I must say. I've been a fan for probably a decade now, I love your content. And I squealed like a little kid when I saw you using my Savage cub skins. I'm glad you're enjoying them! You even left the KRAS registration on the red one and it feels like a weird childhood fan nerd dream come true!
I got to play this at release and oh my god it blew me away with the cars driving down actual roads, building placement and clouds and lighting. Fast forward a few years and there's still nothing like it. absolutely incredible.
"Nothing is left out that would actually affect something in the sim" The APPR page in the 787 FMC definitely does not affect anything in the sim. Real-world pilots definitely blind guess their VREF in the real plane. (For anyone who isn't super familiar, missing the APPR page in the FMC is quite the huge deal... just ask anyone)
@@TheOwenMajor No the thing is, the APPR page is implemented on the A320... I don't see what was so hard about implementing it on the 787. The 787 just feels incomplete and rushed. I literally have to nose dive to stay on glide (using a typical speed for the weight I was at). It doesn't make sense to have a takeoff page but not an approach page...
There are plenty of issues with all of the planes. Yesterday I was flying the DA62 from Goose Bay, Labrador to Nuuk, Greenland at 2AM only to find out a good portion into the trip that the ice light switch doesn't actually work despite being clickable. Luckily the live weather was broken so I was flying in ideal conditions and icing was not an issue. At least I can be extra excited for any updates that get released now. Personally I think the game needed at least another month or two, but oh well. I'm still having a lot of fun regardless.
That cockpit view while plummeting from 250k feet was freaking hilarious. Plane just beeps steadily like "Hmm... SOMETHING's wrong. You should probably look into it."
This is SO FREAKING COOL!!! This is literally inspiring me to do a new up to date build! And it will probably never happen, but it would be AMAZING if this game somehow got a release on modern game consoles. Hell, I would buy a new Xbox just to play this, and I have never purchased an Xbox console in my entire life as I have always been a Playstation guy!
From the perspective of a potential buyer, I'm worried about the cloud server functions. What does it mean for FS2020 if the servers die in ten years? Will the main selling point, its graphical fidelity, become completely moot in the face of those hyper-powered servers being unavailable? FSX might be old, but it was an all-inclusive package that you could run locally as much as you like, firing on all cylinders regardless of hardware. One can only wonder what sort of solutions advanced users might come up with - Especially with a hardware requirement so high.
You can run the game offline, its just that the maps won’t look quite as good. So even if the servers go down, the game will still be playable completely. You can also download as much of the map as you want. But given the total map size is 2 Pb or 2000 Tb of data it’s unlikely anyone short of millionaire gamers will be able to download the whole map. But like I said the game is still playable without downloading anything more than the game itself
Shadow Flash geez 240 TB?! I mean I don’t even know how you’d fill that up! I thought 3 TB was a lot lol. Then again I remember being shocked to discover my step dad’s old gaming PC which was huge only had like 150 Mb of ram so I guess you’ve got a point. Still I think it’ll be quite a bit before the average person can get a PB hard drive internal
There was a time many years ago when I could fly a Cessna with just VOR for navigation in this game, to where I think I would have been comfortable figuring it all out in a real plane. Makes you wonder how many people go on to fly a real plane after getting comfortable with a simulation.
I keep coming back to this wonderfully relaxing video, and to the sim soon after. I haven't gotten a good chance to dive into the Game of the Year Edition yet.
Before your lookback video on FS4.0, I knew absolutely nothing about MFS as a whole and especially no idea that in just a few days later this absolutely breathtaking new version would be coming out. Your video clips on Twitter and your absolute excitement over the level of detail in even the smallest suburban cities (not to mention the promise of more vehicles and VR support down the line and just...ALL the other smaller experience enhancers!) have made me so excited to get this and give it a go, especially since I just recently built a pretty powerful PC for the first time!

20:51 Clint mentions Nebraska and I'm just like "senpai noticed me?!" Can recommend the thunderstorms, they're v nice 👌
Hey! I worked on the aircraft cfgs and some other modifications for the livery pack you're using. Great to see the work of the livery team spreading far and wide!
My friend Nifty a Cs 1.6 player and long time avid gamer Died in March of 2019.
When I had seen his name on the back wing of the airplane.
His voice popped in my head.
Thanks LGR.
Sometimes youtube can brings us close to those we have lost.
Makes me smile he is up flying in a video game :')
It's only right..
Wooo!!! New video. They closed the Goodwill by me and I was all upset, but it turns out they were just moving to a bigger location. I was sad that goodwills wouldn't make it through the pandemic.
Goodwills and charity shops have never had more donations because of people having clearouts during lockdown.
For some reason, I suddenly want this game.
oh shoot It’s skul
@Nick still playz roblox It's not, it's hard to run with high settings
Maybe because it looks amazing
Been waiting for 14 years for this review. I can die in peace now ❤️😊
Lol
R.I.P
8:45 - Nah mate that's the Fair Dinkum Tower of Toowoomba!
Toowoomba: the only place in the world where you've gotta go up a hill to get to a hole in the ground. 🤣
10:54 reminded me of every sci-fi film ever...
"Sir, we can't escape, there's no where we ca-"
"We're going through the flamingos"
"But sir"
"WE'RE GOING THROUGH THE FLAMINGOS"
Compare this with the original release that came out in the 80s. The difference in graphics, and how technology evolved in the past 30 years is mind blowing.
Yesssss I’ve been waiting for this one
I remember playing the -I think- 98 version when I was like 3yo in my dad’s computer. I didn’t understand a thing but I remember it being one of my first interactions with a computer as a kid
Was that your first memory?? Mine was standing in my cot and admiring a sunset.
Lol I remember playing games on our Commodore 64 as a 3 or 4 year old back in Chicago in maybe 87 or 89.. I would wake up turn on the TV monitor with white snow static that would blind me so bright I couldn’t open my eyes, then wait 5-10 minutes for a game to load up in the C64’s memory using large floppy disks or something. Ahhh good times.
@@casedistorted I owned a copy of Flight Simulator (technically, i suppose, the same product) - written by subLogic before MS brought it for the c64. It came with fight charts listing the com and nav frequencies and a manual that told you how to use them, A vast improvement over this version.
Lol one of my first computer games was Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002 so I relate
*NC Native*
"Oh hey! Asheville! So cool!".... "Wow, Winston looks great!"
*LGR Opens Bing maps on Greensboro, *spits out coffee*.
"THATS MY ACTUAL HOUSE OKAY LOL"
Man, look at how much this sim has changed over 2 and a half years.
From getting to know basic controls of a cessna 152, it‘s gone to vfr navigation, bush trips including realistic winds with valleys, ifr navigation, and takeoff and landing for an a320
I probably missed a mode or two for flight training, but wow, it has expanded so much!
Listening to LGR talk about our hometown makes me feel great, and nice to see we can do flybys of the Wacovia building
Dang, I live in Winston Salem right now it’s insane how accurate it looks
I'm glad you mentioned The Spire in Melbourne's suburbs.
Now to get the government to allow it built.
Probably most impressive thing about this game for me is the integration of the real life stuff, like real plane routes and weather.
Really connects it with the actual aviation world, doesn‘t it?
I like googling the commercial jets and see where they left from and where they’re going.
22:22 If the coordinates of the planes are more or less accurate, would you be able to see real world plane crash in fs2020? You're staying on the ground underneath the wing of your small plane, looking at surroundings... and see boeing 777 crashes nearby. That's terrifying
i remember quite vividly the day my father bought to me the sims: livin' large and flight simulator 2000 in a bundle, some 19 to 20 years ago.
i ended up playing much more FS2k than anything else, and aeronautics dominated my interests for many years to come.
17:56 Interesting choice of livery there, LGR!
Well, he's using his "joystick"...
Finally, a real use case for cloud computing in something like a game.
Seeing the “nukem” plane was a lol moment. Also, wow! Those animal walking animations were excellent!!
Ok, "Look at me, I am the Captain now" got me.
A part of me wishes I could afford to spend money and space on a pod for running simulators. Dedicating it to various flight sims, space flight games, driving games, and mechwarrior 1,2,3.
The new standard of “Can it run Crysis?” cause now we gotta say: “Can it run Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020?” 😂😳😆
RIP my garbage tier CPU and GPU😂😂😂
Specs aren't wild tho. I mean, a new-ish gen upper level laptop can run it with decent trim. The thing that's really killer here is the memory (not ram) and because of how it works, if your MOBO spec is not up to the task of fast reading, you're probably better off buying an SSD just for this game to upset that problem. To be read (not for ultra-conditions, just decent play/views).
Close enough. When in the air my i7 8750/16 GB/RTX 2070 laptop runs decently at 1080p High End (about 40-50 fps) but when on the ground, especially at a huge airport like LAX or when weather effects were turned on and landing at Lafayette, LA during Hurricane Laura, it dipped down to 8fps because of all the data access.
I wonder if Philscomputerlab may consider to put this game in his list of games to test in his future reviews of several video cards and processors.
The specs aren’t that high though. That’s what’s really amazing about this, it isn’t the most demanding game on the market.
"HYGGE" 😀 Nice one, dude! As a Norwegian, I approve.
So cool to see you fly the Citation Longitude. I have been a design engineer on that project since its infancy.
I am 56 years old and bought my first game computer last month just for the new Flight Simulator. Best thing I ever did. Love the sunsets.
I really wish this game had a demo or something. This game looks intriguing to me, but 80 dollars is a lot of money to pay for a game that you don't know you'll like.
Game pass is 1 dollar right now.
@@DanJLeh oh damn you right.
It’s only $60
@@wta1518 80 CAD
if you think about it, almost every game has a "demo"...
8:30 - when I saw “Farts” on your plane it reminded me of when you were reviewing the creative DVD player or something along those lines, and as you were playing a game the screensaver popped up...
*Penises.* 🤣
Crytek: "Crysis is the standard benchmark for gaming!"
Microsoft: "hold my beer"
"hold my flightstick"
Unzips.... 2 petabyte world's bitches
i mean, this microsoft tech pales in comparison to the new voxel space engines, and a planet is not a gameplay mechanic by itself. Earth simulators were already a thing years ago, and yeah, even more detailed than the microsoft one, they re generally licensed by military sim companies, but some of the companies that make them, originally made them for games
@@jh5kl But they didnt cost 50 pounds, is the flip side of that coin.
@@mikester1290 They also don't run on consumer hardware either. I've seen some of these sims and they're not running on threadripper/2080Ti systems.
I spent a year in China, specifically Beijing, specifically a small neighborhood in Beijing called Wudaokou, and I was VERY surprised and pleased that I could fly through it and even recognize a few places. I guess because like you said, it's based on Bing maps.
Great video, first game I haven't picked up on sale in like 6 years
This is the best review I’ve seen... well done. I particularly like the balanced view of the graphics... yes their great, but over here in Australia, I’d have to say the cities and landscapes are no where near as good as many places in the US.
Should be much improved now with the Australia update that they released.
I can't wait until they add VR Headset support. This + VR + HOTAS is living a dream.
While it is not 360degree, even using the Quest with Virtual desktop in FS2020 is amazing. It's wasy to forget you are in a Sim.
Getting closer and closer to Ready Player One :) . Yes, I can't wait for VR on this.
oh yes, my Index is ready :)
Well, the future is now. 😊
Clint I must say. I've been a fan for probably a decade now, I love your content. And I squealed like a little kid when I saw you using my Savage cub skins. I'm glad you're enjoying them! You even left the KRAS registration on the red one and it feels like a weird childhood fan nerd dream come true!
Thanks for making awesome skins for one of my favorite planes!
That's great hearing about Winston, I went to NCSA (now UNCSA, after my time). Love that area I ended up living there for 5 years!
LGR is like if the early 1990’s came to life and made a UA-cam channel. Very soothing.
I chuckled when you said "Look at me, I am the captain now"
I'm going to park my plane in front of my house and use the street as a runway.
That's something i'd never be able to do irl!
Hehehe, it's hilarious when you remember the L in LGR stands for lazy. What an in-depth review :-) thanks for the video!
5:24 I can see my house so I can technically crash into my own house?! *goes to buy the game straight away*
I got to play this at release and oh my god it blew me away with the cars driving down actual roads, building placement and clouds and lighting. Fast forward a few years and there's still nothing like it. absolutely incredible.
"Nothing is left out that would actually affect something in the sim"
The APPR page in the 787 FMC definitely does not affect anything in the sim. Real-world pilots definitely blind guess their VREF in the real plane.
(For anyone who isn't super familiar, missing the APPR page in the FMC is quite the huge deal... just ask anyone)
I truly hope they update it
They are likely to update it and add it. If not, community will.
They are stock aircraft, give them a break. Wait for study level thrid party aircraft to start griping about all the screens.
@@TheOwenMajor No the thing is, the APPR page is implemented on the A320... I don't see what was so hard about implementing it on the 787.
The 787 just feels incomplete and rushed. I literally have to nose dive to stay on glide (using a typical speed for the weight I was at). It doesn't make sense to have a takeoff page but not an approach page...
There are plenty of issues with all of the planes. Yesterday I was flying the DA62 from Goose Bay, Labrador to Nuuk, Greenland at 2AM only to find out a good portion into the trip that the ice light switch doesn't actually work despite being clickable. Luckily the live weather was broken so I was flying in ideal conditions and icing was not an issue. At least I can be extra excited for any updates that get released now. Personally I think the game needed at least another month or two, but oh well. I'm still having a lot of fun regardless.
1:53 "it's a simulation of flight, PLANE and simple". I did what you see there.
Games like this and Train Simulator would be great as APIs that modders could build entire actual games on top of. That would make them so fantastic
That cockpit view while plummeting from 250k feet was freaking hilarious. Plane just beeps steadily like "Hmm... SOMETHING's wrong. You should probably look into it."
This is SO FREAKING COOL!!! This is literally inspiring me to do a new up to date build!
And it will probably never happen, but it would be AMAZING if this game somehow got a release on modern game consoles. Hell, I would buy a new Xbox just to play this, and I have never purchased an Xbox console in my entire life as I have always been a Playstation guy!
Your wish has been granted.
This game just came out for the new Xbox
21:08 please make a "10 hours of sitting under the wing of my plane during a thunderstorm lofi" video for youtube - I'd keep that on all day long
i am always stunned when i change weather in mid flight
it just looks so cool
From the perspective of a potential buyer, I'm worried about the cloud server functions.
What does it mean for FS2020 if the servers die in ten years? Will the main selling point, its graphical fidelity, become completely moot in the face of those hyper-powered servers being unavailable? FSX might be old, but it was an all-inclusive package that you could run locally as much as you like, firing on all cylinders regardless of hardware.
One can only wonder what sort of solutions advanced users might come up with - Especially with a hardware requirement so high.
I mean, you can download areas as you wish, so you might want to start buying hard drives when that starts to be a risk
In the future, there will likely be open source cache servers.
You can run the game offline, its just that the maps won’t look quite as good. So even if the servers go down, the game will still be playable completely.
You can also download as much of the map as you want. But given the total map size is 2 Pb or 2000 Tb of data it’s unlikely anyone short of millionaire gamers will be able to download the whole map.
But like I said the game is still playable without downloading anything more than the game itself
KillerKitten753 I have 240Tb NAS. It's not even that noisy because of a thick metal case. Who knows maybe in 10 years 40Tb SSD will be like 30 bucks.
Shadow Flash geez 240 TB?! I mean I don’t even know how you’d fill that up! I thought 3 TB was a lot lol.
Then again I remember being shocked to discover my step dad’s old gaming PC which was huge only had like 150 Mb of ram so I guess you’ve got a point. Still I think it’ll be quite a bit before the average person can get a PB hard drive internal
Was not expecting a Fort Worth sighting in an LGR video!
There was a time many years ago when I could fly a Cessna with just VOR for navigation in this game, to where I think I would have been comfortable figuring it all out in a real plane. Makes you wonder how many people go on to fly a real plane after getting comfortable with a simulation.
2:32 I’m having Cities: Skylines flashbacks right now.
I play that. Amazing.
If you are mobile, as close as you can get, theotown!
7:56 - Notice the ferry in the water?
@@matthewcurtis9192 dear god
Wait, you are saying that if my dad is flying NOW I can take control of his flight????

Hijacking is controlling a vehicle. In this situation a plane
22:56 solid Captain Phillips reference 👌
I keep coming back to this wonderfully relaxing video, and to the sim soon after. I haven't gotten a good chance to dive into the Game of the Year Edition yet.
Before your lookback video on FS4.0, I knew absolutely nothing about MFS as a whole and especially no idea that in just a few days later this absolutely breathtaking new version would be coming out.
Your video clips on Twitter and your absolute excitement over the level of detail in even the smallest suburban cities (not to mention the promise of more vehicles and VR support down the line and just...ALL the other smaller experience enhancers!) have made me so excited to get this and give it a go, especially since I just recently built a pretty powerful PC for the first time!
