Great informative review mate, I'm a commercial pilot in Australia and have been looking at buying the latest sim to keep up to date with finer flying skills while I'm not flying, but I also didn't want to pay the money for a PC gaming set up, this video has guided me towards the cheaper xbox x option. I look forward to checking it out.
@TomatoFanny not in Australia mate, looking at big bucks for a decent PC set up here.
@TomatoFanny it's like 2500 bucks Australian for a 1660ti and a I5 10400f in aus. Economies shite, high build costs and we're an island. Everything's imported
One day this sim will be perfect… one day
I havent played it yet but i think it already is
It will be a first for Microsoft.
@@Jamaican_Gaming scenery wise, already there
But apparently the game feels like an arcade game with 0 realism.
It is lol
@@tazzie165 stop believing ps and xbox gossip.
I haven't got a beefy gaming set-up. I bought series S only to play MSFS, and it's absolutely breathtaking. Yes to me it's worth every penny.
didt caught up but how much did the premium cost on msfs 2020 you buy it or you buy an special gamepass?
Is this good for inputting info into flight computer etc?
Loving these new videos Brandon!
Thanks mate!
How come you cannot click some of the buttons on the plane, example a320? Can that be fixed ? Also when using 737 max game crashes back to main screen ?
Does this game take up gigabytes after you install the main game like on pc? Or no
No head tracking like track ir or if I’m flying on a pc and my daughter is flying on a series x, we can’t fly together.?
Another great video keep up the good work.
Graphic tweaking is typically not a thing on Xbox. Though I'm finding it gorgeous on Series X.
I fly on Series X and rejected the PC route due to cost. Being unable to install non marketplace content is quite a pain. I had hopes for Dev mode on the Xbox, but again that isn't happening. The need for a 'gamepass' for live traffic is lamentable. Lack of multi-monitor support is also a shame. As a UK PPL, I mostly fly VFR circuits and cross country VFR. Would I recommend? - Yes but some basics bug me ~ hectopascals for altimeters rather than inches(hybrid does not work for me) , American voices on radio in Europe, and the lack of a 'Meigs field' to fly from... Still looking for a BAe Hawk (100 Sqn) and Panavia Tornado for the Xbox version.
Glitches are there. My favourite being shutting the xbox down in mid flight, going on holiday and coming back to find I have 240 more flight hours than when I left.
Finally, installs are invasive and block use of the sim, I come back to MSFS and find what appears to be the same / similar installs being reapplied.
I am not an Xbox gamer and never will be. Perfect? No but it is fun and is reasonable value.
You don’t need game pass for multiplayer
How to watch reply in msfs 2020 for xbox?
Queatio, can you import liveries as in PC version, thanks for the video most helpful and honest assessment
It is a masterpiece and will be the benchmark for a lot of future game releases.
This is the game that introduced me to the XBOX Series X and because of this I have now discovered Call of Duty and Battlefield. Both of these games are simply amazing.
Battlefield 1?
You've been living under a rock for the past 15 years
Can you get this on the One S… not series S, but One S and One X?
Great vid! 👍
I sm bot sure if you have covered this yet I get far too many you tube notifications per day and I miss most of them because of this
My question have you heard anything about what flight sticks yokes and rudder pedals are compatible with x box series consoles are the saitek X-52 among those usable this will influence my decision wether to purchase an x box series X or I will happily stick with basic settings on pc with Microsoft flight simulator X a new tower would cost far too much money way out of my price range even for a basic spec if you have not already please do a vlog on this because I am sure I am not the only person wondering what will work on x box and what will not
Great video, thank you!
Looks gorgeous BUT no replay so no 3rd person recordings of practice landings and takeoffs???
What xbox are you using?
Awesome video mate, I’ve been considering buying the series s for this sim, I’ve always wanted to play but just don’t have the money for a high level pc.
same with me also gaming PCs take up a lot of space and can move an Xbox x around the house easily and play in different rooms.
Ridiculous that top end PC graphics cards are now ££££s.
Same
Series s? Cant play
Absolutely loving it. The reason i bought the series x as my secondary console next to my ps5. I'm glad i did. Totally worth it
Same here
Is this sim available on the original XBOX ONE which was released 4 years or so ago, the black box one
My friend how are you doing I'm afraid not the hardware of the xbox one is not capable of doing that. However you can play it via cloud gaming with the gamepass sub . As long as you have a good connection and a region that supports cloud gaming
Thanks for this review
I am also that kind of person who bought an Xbox Series X on purpose and mainly to get access to a full Sim experience with no need to buy a much too expensive PC. Without these drivers problems, viruses, configuration issues etc. I am more than happy that Turtlebeach, Thrustmaster and even Honeycomb invest in third party devices and controllers such as Yokes and Rudders. Hope Microsoft and Asobo will not separate development between PC and console. Even if we may have to change to a superior version of high end specification console from time to time. It worth it so much.
This game is absolutely amazing im blown away omg im loving this on the series x 😀
I have the sim on both my PC(AMD 3700X and RTX 3060 TI), and ofcourse the Series X, and i prefer the X!
@@Quattro5081 that's the same thing my friend said lol this game is so dope I cant get enough
I have it on PC as well (i9-10900K & 3090 FE) and Series X and it is amazing on Series X but I could never choose a console over my PC.
@valentino 1801 thats the part where he was talking about with the updates. As of right now, SU 6, u cant modify graphics(other than HDR) on the xbox x or S, on PC, the graphic settings and sliders are there, but since update 4 or 5, they feel like its truly not on ULTRA settings, even though u select it. But some PC users arent having any issues, so , its up for debate.
Not to flex but I have a rtx 3090 128Gb of ram and a i9 😆
I've been looking into flight sim set up ( a few years back I worked for BA City Flyer, not as a pilot but flightdeck services & was lucky enough to fly the pro sims at LHR ) I'm not into PC's or gaming just wanted a reasonable priced fly & go flight sim package... thanks for this video I've now made my mind up X Box series S £249 & Microsoft flight sim will be perfect for my needs 👌
Im getting and xss this Christmas and I want a simple yes or no answer, is it worth getting mfs 2020 on it and getting dlc planes
Although Microsoft has other aircraft to purchase, some they just add to the base game. But the rest come from mod community. Some work great, others not so much. So be careful of what you buy.
I say Yes definitely. I've come from my struggle station 4. To xbox series S and I love it. Get game pass and play this game. It's an experience. I highly recommend.
Is there an xbox external dvd / cd drive available folks? I can save money on the S model?
no
Do you think we will get fbw A320 on marketplace
Fbw took it off the marketplace until Asobo fixes the bugs.
I have the money for a PC but, I don’t know anything about PC. I never had one, but I want one. So what PC can I get that I don’t have to build?
I’m so glad they brought the sim to the Xbox, just my personal opinion but I can’t justify paying the money out for one game/sim. Bought the premium version and so glad I did worth every penny just wish they’d add more passenger jetliners and liveries to the market place. Whatever version you get its so worth the money in my opinion
Great game but i prefer pc as it allows you to add liveries from all the major airlines and you can play career mode with addons like onair or skypark
So on Xbox its not possible to buy the livery of Brussels Airlines?
@@wesleyvaganee2417 not at the moment, the only way it would happen is if A) a aircraft is realised that includes Brussels Airlines or B) they allow mods onto the Xbox version
@@coldste I hope they will do it.This game is the only reason i will buy the Xbox.I played Playstation all my life
@@wesleyvaganee2417 hopefully they do I’m sure one of the devs said they’ve got a lot of 3rd parties that want to add their content, I’m just like you PlayStation all my life. Hoping for American Airlines since I’m mostly flying around the states
A few issues here and there but still satisfied overall
Is it just me or when climbing in an a320 neo on xbox the speed decreases and doesn't go to the speed set even with auto thrust on and the climb rate usually around FL 140 - 300 jumps from 2500fpm to -1400fpm and so forth suddenly and doesn't climb at the rate assigned
Same with me pal I have attitude set and when I go autopilot the plane just goes down stupid
@@jakemcclean7062 do you fly on live weather?
@@jakemcclean7062 don't put live weather on because that's what makes the plane do this I just tried custom weather and it didn't happen for once. Live weather is broken I think
@@amirbhatt2915 yeah I think it is to put live weather on in the day and said it was at night??? And I notice sometimes the times and dates are wrong. It’s a buggy game and things need to be fixed. Noticed in the airports there’s like missing see through walls etc. I also purchased airport environments for Europe for like £7 as an add on and it’s not worked at all
@@jakemcclean7062 yes and in some airports the jetways don't connect do you get the same thing as well?
My game crashes only when I have ai traffic on. Does anyone have a fix for this that doesn’t involve turning the setting for traffic off?
Have you tried with live traffic on?
There is a bug with ai traffic, live traffic should be fine.
Would this be able to help to obtain a PPL?
It will save some time. It gives you a lot of basic knowledge that you won't have to learn if you start training properly.
How do you get the fixed wing view?
Camera - Showcase - External - Select one of the last options
@@PilotStudd got it thanks.
Great video
Hi, the flight simulator works better on PC or Xbox
Agree so much. I recently made the change from Xbox to PC and it’s way better on PC
Yk how this sim has like real time for flying i wish there were modes like realistic mode and non
You truly haven't played this game until you play it in VR.
IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!
Definitely worth it for Xbox, I have both pc and Xbox versions very similar
I use the AI when flying the A320. Still learning the basics. When I fly in the A320 my thrust remains in TOGA and the plane bobs up and down- again I’m new and it may be me.
I’d like to see a detailed A320 or 737 with all switches in operation. I’d love to see real life liveries.
I’d love an upgrade for Manchester airport EGCC in the market place.
Overall still learning and only flown 5 hours.
Do you fly with live weather?
@@amirbhatt2915 yes
@@DeanArnold1066 that's why it does jumping thing in the air. Live weather is broken fly on custom weather and it will work fine
Game is perfect on the series s for me! I am blown away.
Are the controls smooth on the controller, by that I mean, is it easy enough to control planes with the controller?
@@PMDG738flyer yes, you can play the game with the controller and it works well. I would recommend using a joystick and mouse if you really want to take it more seriously. Mouse will be easier if you want to use the autopilot functions.
@@noexcuse6704 Aight, thanks.
They need to put some effort on the ifr
Can we use a stick on xbox?
Yes. And keyboard and mouse
cant find any online players on the game at all i feel they are on the pc instead on different servers made by community so it feels rather lonesome without other players on the game
When we see the industry adopt controllers in their cockpits I'll consider it. Until then, it's yoke and pedals for me..
Can it be played on xbox one x?
It can
No Track IR no VR on Xbox ,for this game that's a deal breaker for me!
Why doesn't the jetway connect to the a320 neo in most airports?
is this on xbox one gameplay or x
Series s and x only
No way can the x do 4k like the pc seen both my pc is a 10850k 3090 128 memory
Had my birthday yesterday and was exited to get the s and got mags and let me say on a 4K tv it is the best
Hope you had a great birthday!
Finally bought a series x and got in fsx again and I'm now addicted to buying add-ons smh it like the sims all over again.
Mines doesn't work right, bugs and glitch too much 🙄
And that's the problem. I've been flying this game since 1985, and we've never considered a game, but a simulation. Fact is, I've used this game to practice for my rel world pilot check ride. Now, they wanted to call it, a game, which it's never been.
No one cares you dork...
Go and cry somewhere else
People say it’s boring. No u just learn the a320 and 747 do ifr flights with atc and do ils landing not boring at all
In the video you say close to ultra setting in 4k on the series x. The output signal is 4k but the pixel count is actually 1440p
Am getting my Xbox series s today for Microsoft flight 2020 and am over the top exited
Got an Xbox series s for Christmas unexpectedly and got msfs 2020, I can't get enough, runs 30 fps and looks good
And now a month later, would you recommend the series s for fs2020?
@@mmstraker3 I still would. It runs as it should and the graphics are great.
@@icanthinkofaname13 Sounds good to me, thanks for the reply.
I’ve been using the sim on Xbox since late 2021 and since it was my first real sim, (before that, i used infinite flight) I was very happy with the default planes for a short while. But quickly, I wasn’t satisfied with the planes. When the a310 came out, I flew that plane so much because it was the only study level plane we had. I flew it so much I got sick of it. In early 2023, I got very very sick of the lack of addons and it annoyed me so much I decided to get a new high end pc. I couldn’t describe how annoyed i was when I looked at the marketplace every Thursday just to see it filled with captain scam and pointless night sceneries with overpriced livery packs for the a310 and a320neo. I’ve loved this pc ever since I got it a month ago and I’ve been having endless fun with all the addons I’ve missed on Xbox. For any hardcore simmers like me, I really can’t recommend Xbox. The addons makes the sim pretty boring. Even tho now we have the PMDG 737, that’s really the only modern passenger airliner we have that’s high level. But at least Xbox now has the 787 and 747 which are okay to fly. The addon I wanted the most was the crj to do operations out of my home airport. Aerosoft said a year ago they were working on it but haven’t said a single word about it since. Most devs can’t bring their planes to Xbox as they run outside the sim and the ones that can bring it to Xbox seem to not really care, besides PMDG.
The only positive I can give for console is that no matter what you have, if you have the Xbox, it’ll run 4K and 30 fps and ever since SU12 (or 11 I forgot) in March, the sim has been very stable and actually much more stable than my pc. (I don’t get crashes on pc, generally just get crashes when I don’t update my driver). The sim on Xbox never goes below 30 fps no matter where you are and since it’s console, its very simple and you don’t gotta worry about addons as it’s all in the marketplace. But these pros still don’t justify it. I think if you have the means, you should go for pc but if Xbox is all you can afford, it’s a mediocre experience, I’d say a 5/10.
If you’re a casual simmer and don’t care about system requirements, there’s nothing wrong with Xbox but it isn’t good for hardcore simmers like I am.
They should bring this to PS4 - ps5 I would defo buy it if it was released
LOL!! Neither console doesn't even have close to the power to run this.
@@James-xt5cc they do, my Xbox series S is slower than the PS5 and runs this game (and others) fine albeit at 1080p rather than 4K
@@icanthinkofaname13 well then why does my 5k computer still lag in 4. K?
I am new to flight sims and initially thought it was worth it on xbox, but after buying a couple planes (F-15 was a big mistake) I would say if you have Gamepass then okay and don't spend any money on planes because you will be waiting a long time for anything coming to console, really turned me off from playing. I still do monthly group flights but that is about it.
Be careful when buying add ons from other devs/modders. Some do nice work. Others not so much.
It will be awesome only if it lets me play for atleast one minute 😂 game crashes and freezes every minute and have to restart the game
can you play flight simulator Xbox one X console
You can
Via cloud gaming as long as you have a good connection and if you live in a region where cloud gaming is supported.
It’s awesome.
I love mfs on xbox series x. I wish i could stream it so i could play on the go but i think that not be possible just yet. After being stuck in for practically a year its a nice way to get out an see the world. Ive seen places ive never seen before where i travel to in the real world and its made me want to go to these new places i discovered on mfs.
Whats not to love. Last night i spent 2 hours looking for hippos in affrica didn't find any but it was still a relaxing stunning flight. Love it bug and all 🤣. Cant wait to see this game grow and only get even better.
This is the best flight simulator I ever played on Xbox, controllers are easy to get used to, I just wish there was a lot more free planes and a livery creator built in the game but other then that its a very good game and im loving it.
Cant wait for MFS2024
As of now NO currently we are left in the dust regarding addons and hardware
Don’t get me wrong, it’s great on Xbox and super fun once you know what your doing. It sucks that you have to pay $20-50 bucks PER plane and Xbox only has like 30 planes you can buy at the MOST. PC has planes FOR DAYS!!! I’m so mad they are not releasing aircrafts on Xbox like they are on PC constantly and non stop. PLEASE HELP US ON CONSOLE AND RELEASE SOME AWESOME NEW AIRCRAFTS FOR US!!😩😩😩
Hi
Yes it is !!!!
Not good for Pc users at the moment and nothing is happening……
You actually forgot that it was also released on xbox one X/S
No it wasn’t?
@@PilotStudd it was didn't you hear? They talked about releasimg it on last gen consoles wich measn it was realeased on xbox one X/S. Most people don't really knew about this so i don't blame you for not knowing.
@@forzahorizon5966 My bad it is!
My mom said she buy me xbox and msfs that’s why I watched this
PC version is a mess right now , graphics look like FSX , and some aircraft do not work , or can not start either hopefully it will get better .
I don’t like it tbh there are so many bugs which just ruin the experience for me so I’ve uninstalled the game until they fix them which seems like they won’t for a couple century’s do to the fact that they don’t know how to
First and hi
Hi Jay!
I will wait till Xbox will release the VR. ! 😜😂
1st comment yeeey
😂
Does it have the same potential as PC? No. But if you already own an Xbox, is it worth getting if you're into flight simulation?
... Yeah. It is. Duh.
I thought it looked bloody awful... until I turned on Bing data and HDR 🤦
Hdr isn't always on by default?
try flying the 747 😂🤣🤣
Is not worth it I can’t even finish a full flight then plane literally falls mid flight for no reason
Then you are flying too far or not affective enough for your fuel.
@@mrjones29 i was going from egll to jkf on the boing 747 i put 79% fuel everything was good and 1 hour later the game pause and when i unpause the game the plane just falls then i gain control but it happened again same with the a320
@@jorldan5440 Oh ok, sounds like one of those game bugs that's been happening since release day. The devs will need to sort it out and fix it asap. Are you saying you paused the game or the game paused itself?
@@mrjones29 the game paused it self and then when i click to un pause the plane just started falling like a stall
Don't use active pause, just press Esc it works better. :D Have fun flying
Do not buy this you’ll only be disappointed
Consistently crashing, freezing
If it ain’t compatible on Xbox then don’t release it on that platform. It’s rocket science ffs.
Still would only play on PC.
Salty
@@kreature6618 how?
There's no way a simulator of any kind should be priced at £60 standard price of a blockbuster AAA game like Halo or Call of Duty, and the add-ons DLCs costing £25 per drop is a ripoff. Am I to expect real life looking sims of Goat Simulator and Train Simulator costing this much in the future too? MSFS2020 does nothing new and the clarity of the globe is better experienced on Google Earth with a lot more control. These are my only real gripes with the game as it is astonishing with the full setup controls and big screen.
Hi! I believe you’re not established with flight simulation then, even with train sim DLC is what you call expensive, Goat Simulator and even Train Sim are in no way comparable to MSFS, this is completely open world with numerous highly detailed aircraft, and is used for real world training. Flight simulation is expensive but completely understandable with the exception of some cases of course, I think you completely understate the great feat of adding detail to the whole globe, plus you can always get it on gamepass. 😃
@@PilotStudd Sounds like you are attacking me for making an opinion! I've been playing flight simulators on PC in the early 1980s before you was born. The last great flight sim from Microsoft FSX is comparable to MSFS2020 from last gen graphics and that only cost £25 brand new. To can overlook my point meaning a sim is still a sim whatever the premise. I am not uninstalling one of my better games to download 147GB regardless as it's on Gamepass and with Battlefield 2042, Forza Horizon 5 and Alien Fireteam Elite due out soon my time will be there instead. I also don't prefer downloading copies of games as you don't actually own the game anyway, buy the disc copy and own it outright. As long as you enjoy it and it fronts your channel that's good for you and fans of the game you push, but my opinion is just mine and your video invited opinions from all. Or do we have to side with your viewpoint now?
@@mrjones29 I was just making the point that it’s always really been this way for the past part of the last two decades and that stems with flight simming and train simming! It’s a perfectly understandable point of which I wasn’t trying to completely counter just saying for good or bad that’s the way things are! And goat simulator is a terrible comparison…. 😂 I wish you a good day!
I mean its literally on gamepass and this game is technological miracle with the entire world to explore. In my opinion its worth far more than a subpar annual Call of Duty game. Plus the world and simulation is so complete with this game that you don't really have to buy a bunch of addons for graphics and airplane mechanics like with FSX.
Ugh, I was hoping for a review. The video starts and a limp wristed weak voice sounds. Next.
Nice to see you haven’t discovered the fact that day by day people are getting away with less abuse on the internet, which in this case is back handed homophobia. You wouldn’t say it in public, so why say it here, basement dweller.
@@PilotStudd ha gayyyyyyy
Go and cry
Boring review too long
Don't waste your time watching the video. It's not worth it on any platform except PC
Haha so salty, did you waste a ton of money buying a pc??? Haha
Really? This game looks and runs better on Xbox than most $2000 PCs.
Mainly skinny teenagers with pimples play PC.
Mad u spent 2000$ on a pc and ur game runs 10 fps 1080p
Why would anyone want to sim on Xbox?? When the PC is oh so good and can be upgraded and GPUs and all that jazz. Console gaming?? Sounds ... well... childish. Sorry but I don't like it?
That’s fair enough, each to their own I guess!
That's a pretty childish thing to say. Do you know how long variants of simulators have been played on consoles? I'd guess older than you. The Xbox is effectively a ready made PC in a box. Things don't need swapping out like gpu and ram like you love doing - that's just geeky.
@@mrjones29alot of these kids these days have ADHD, and unless they are shooting other people over and over online, then they don't like it..Not necessarily talking about this guy, but it really is the wayany gamers are these days.
@@markcarrico7908 I see, I never knew this to that level of ADHD. I do know these heavy gamers will attack you for just making a fair comment of a game they enjoy.
The exact reason you stated is why PC’s are shite always needing upgraded where as a console is pure class in a box where you can kick back in comfort and enjoy instead of being stuck against a wall at a computer desk with screen glow face. Flight Simulator has always been the most impressive game on PC and console’s pulling it off mighty fine 👌 Anyways what’s your issue with childish things? I’m guessing your into cosplay, that not folk dressing up as cartoon character’s? Could say that’s…well…..childish. But as the good host to the channel says each to their own.
