  • I've got a feeling if you've started watching this video, you probably already know the answer, because £250 /$300 for a Series S, and about £10 a month for Game Pass, is a bit of a bargain for this amazing experience!
    Thanks, Rob.

    I just got my Xbox S series this week and set it up yesterday, I purchased the game knowing it was available in game pass, but I love owning my games. I did my basic flight training this morning and made my first flight in the Cessna 152, about a 30 minute flight. So to answer the question, yes this is definitely worth it 👍🏻

      I’m doing the exact same thing for my birthday, including buying the game. One question if you don’t mind, I’m totally new to no-disc consoles: do you purchase the game directly on the console or you buy via the computer, get the key and then you download it on the console? Thanks in advance and enjoy the game!!

    Most definitely a resounding yes from me! I bought the series S after loving the flying and landings in GTA5, MSMS2020 has landing challenges in spades and I'm loving going through them acing them all. The license tests in Gran Turismo had me hooked and in MSFS2020 I can do the same but with flying challenges its great! The game has so much than that too, over the next few months I will be exploring all sorts, ILS, cold dark start ups, VFR v IFR, flight plans, sim brief, its all incredible I love it.

I you really wanted to play this game a Xbox Series S with Thrustmaster T-flight is your cheapest option with what seem like very little compromise on the experience and stunning graphic.

    I bought an Xbox Series S for this very reason. The choice was to either buy an Xbox for £249 or replace my perfectly adequate pc for one with an expensive graphics card, a fast processor plus lots of ram. Even if you factor in an expansion card for the Xbox, the cost is much less than even a low end graphics card capable of running FS on a pc.

    If you only buy the console for this game then def get the S not the X. I have a PS5 and bought the X only for Forza and FS but its just too much money to play 2 games when your main console is something else. The S is ridiculously powerful for its money and you'll probably wont even see the graphical differences on your telly.

A couple connection drops and a sound glitch where I had to restart the sim but nothing has gone wrong since.

  • @accapozzy5440
    @accapozzy5440 2 роки тому +4

    just to let you know that you dont need to buy the game pass, if you get the series s for £249 and the the game of msfs for £51 this brings it to £300 but also means that you can keep the game for ever rather than have to renew the game pass subscription. I guess one of the advantages of the game pass though is that you can play lots of other games as well as msfs on that one subscription...

  • @unbreakableironman

    For casual gamers that want to enjoy Flight Simulator, this is a no brainer deal, get the Series S. If you are an avid, hardcore Microsoft Flight Simulator enthusiast (and I mean enthusiast), then you may want to invest around $600-800 and get it on PC; build yourself a PC that can handle it. On PC, you get great mods. The ability to switch Bing Maps for Google Maps, for example is a game changing mod IMO.

    Just wanted to add to the comments here..... I have a high end gaming PC with RTX card, 64GB RAM, fast M.2 drive etc etc and can play MSFS2020 in 4K (as well as lower resolutions) Annoyingly I always get stutters in the game on my PC even though I have applied many variants of settings etc. As I already own a PS5, I did not want to fork out another 400 quid for Xbox Series X but rather purchased a Series S JUST to play MSFS2020 on and have a constant framerate. The stutters on the PC were frustrating me that much I have opted for the Series S to get full enjoyment from the simulation and allow me to stream it with no issues.

      It won't completely fill the 1S, but I can see it pushing 200 gig before too long, so you'll need an expansion card to play other S/X enhance games at the same time.
