No thanks. Bought 2020 back when MS said they wouldn't release another flight sim and instead would run it like an online service.
They also told me they would have multicrew working in 2020 among a whole host of other undelivered promises.
Have fun, those of you who haven't been burned yet.
2020 is Microsoft Loading Simulator.
Game is distributed through Steam, but doesn’t use the Steam update mechanism so every time I go to play I have to sit through a half hour of updates.
I just stopped playing it.
Might check out X-Plane at some point, I think they've made a lot of progress on their visuals.
Also check out Aerofly FS4
Loading screen the game PT2
I'm excited to try this. I am waiting for reviews of how it runs on Linux and a small discount before I pick it up.
Please allow several days before reviewers get through the loading and downloading screens
It's already rated mostly negative, i'd give it a month or 3 before even contemplating buying it. Especially considering it's between $90 and $250.
Game has been out for an hour or two? Isn't that mostly "I cannot download or load it because the servers are overloaded" frustration reviews?
Anyway, always good to wait a little until the dust has settled.
It's because it happened when msfs released in 2020, and they have an easy solution... use steam/regular xbox download servers instead of the servers not designed for this kind of stress
As an MS2020 user, what you are describing is normal for the sim.
Damn, games are getting expensive.
Flight sims are cheap compared to the hardware to run them.
