Social VR enough said.

Ok, to start off I'm not running this game in 4K, I don't have a monitor that supports 4K and by all means, I don't have a need to run the thing in 4K even if I had one.

I have to say, when I first played this without my VR Headset I was blown away by the graphics, even before arriving at the settings that I currently have.

The simulator, which can also be counted as a game, which is really weird to be saying, doesn't have 100% accurate detail on streamed data, mostly what seems to be due to outdated bing maps imagery. For example a build with a ramp in 2020 may show up on Google Maps, but may not show up in bing maps and as a result of if or if not on being maps will not show up in the sim. Even with this minor downside you can still make out buildings such as your own home!
(One of many Major examples being US-20 in IOWA, It goes across the whole state 2 lanes each direction, but after a certain point bing maps shows only 1 lane, and as a result you can see this in the sim, where as google maps shows 2 lanes across the whole state. If users pushed Microsoft to update bing maps aerial data it would reflect more recent structures)

(Sorry about that rant)
Another thing that bugs me is there's no way to communicate to other players in Multiplayer. There isn't voice chat or text chat which can be a let down at times, this also means that unlike FSX you can't hop in and control an airport, at least not with a built in voice or text chat. However, there's communities such Vatsim (which is focused on adding realistic ATC to flight sims) that can add a little bit more of human interaction.


The experience in default aircraft compared to FSX is amazing, is it 100% accurate? no, not fully, but it definitely could be a lot worse, and from my experimenting while some things don't work a lot of things do or at least seem they do. For me that's a game changer. I do plan on getting the PMDG 737 when it finally is released for MSFS.

Which brings me to my next point, while I do wish there were more airliner aircraft in the game, such as the 737, a340 and others; there's a lot of GA aircraft that can be extremely fun to play with if you just want to mess around. Even if you aren't a simmer, and are just looking to have fun and maybe join a few friends in multiplayer,, this game could be something worth looking into getting.


The game isn't without it's bugs, and I wish there weren't any to begin with, but it's not enough to make me switch back to FSX or to a different sim.

So would I recommend you get MSFS (2020), well I've left what I've felt to be some critical information above to let you decide for yourself. However, I would say that if you're looking to have a bit of fun and getting to see the world through your computer I'd say yes.

What about flight simmers? well, that's going to have to be your call, the graphics are amazing, I'd like to say Yes on top of general gamers, but given the state of add-ons, and how AI ATC acts with vectoring, it makes it hard for me to give a solid yes or no. (If you're a flight simmer, you probably use something other than default ai atc anyways.)

Welcome to CSGO or umm I guess CS2? which apparently is your favorite first person shooter's favorite first person shooter (according to the CS twitter.)

It's CSGO but different.

NEW(2020):
I started playing Unturned back in 2015 when it was in early access. The game has come a long way since then.

Depending on who you are, you are most likely going to get the most out of Unturned by multiplayer. There are several Role Play servers on Unturned, servers that have economy, servers that add a twist to normal unturned survival, and servers that add to it.

I've dipped my hands in running a server and creating maps. Both were pretty cool back when I did them. Even if you can't host a server, I suggest you dive into map making at least once, not only can it be fun, but it will allow you to appreciate all the maps that exist for Unturned.

If I ever got a second computer I would most likely start running a server again.

Overall while the game may be simple, there is still lots to do in Unturned, from survival, to role playing. If you're thinking about trying this game you should; it's a great game and from my past experience with it I have had fun, so you most likely will too!

(EARLY ACCESS)
OLD: Very great game its nice to play now and then :)

This is Worth Buying, With some tweeks you can make FSX awesome!! i have as of this post played 84.4 hrs of fsx its fun. Simulations are realistic for the most part. But what is sad is that it gives you aircraft and half of the switches don't work It would be nice if they made them to work also they need to make it 64 bit because hardly anyone is on 32bit yes 64 bit operating systems can run 32 bit but thats not the point. Over all this is realistic and is worth buying, i hope one day they make the FMC on the default aircraft work with alot of other stuff.
