Unfortunately I don’t have a gaming PC at the moment, but I see its also due out on Xbox One at a later date.
Wonder if it'll be enabled for any of the streaming services. Seems like a perfect fit if you've the internet connection to support it.
I did have a laugh at the Buckingham housing estate and sunken HMS Belfast on the Obsidianant video I saw.
I’m look at joysticks for this, might just go for the official one or maybe a cheaper Logitech. Not like they have force feedback so can’t see why they’re so expensive.
Seeing as we're so close to release I may as well admit that I've been on the Alpha program (now beta) for a number of months for this. It's bloody great. There's still some work to be done on some of the larger cities, but the nature of that beast is that the worldscape will always be a work in progress.
I've a LOT invested in P3D over the years but I've largely stopped using that since I got on the MSFS Alpha. I never got aboard the P3Dv5 train even.

Just buy it on Steam and ask for a refund if you PC can’t run it, you usually get refunded after a few hours.
Well on the Microsoft site it says the minimum requirements are 8gb which I have, Intel i5-4460, I have an Intel i5-3450S and it says you need NVIDIA GTX 770, I have NVIDIA GT 620.
Time for a few upgrades. Gt620 is 8 years old now, it will be holding you back more than the processor.
Is it a desktop computer?
Upgrades for old stuff can be pretty cheap and transform the experience. My boys gaming pc is based on similarly ancient architecture yet plays all the modern stuff he wants to play just fine. As long as you’re not expecting 120fps 4K

Yes, a Dell if it makes a difference, God I didn't realise it was that old, I stuck an SSD in it last year and it performs like a new machine although it's very loud for some reason, I stuck a supposedly silent fan in it but it made no difference. Can you recommend upgraded? I wouldn't know if what I was looking at was good, bad or indifferent. Are they easy enough to fit?
Ok, the exact model is Dell Inspiron 660S, I've taken a picture of a label on the top of the case if that helps. I took the surround off the fan to give a better view.

Thx for Windows product key
</scribbles>
You're welcome! It was for the XPC code, I thought that might be relevant, the software is a clone of my Windows 10 laptop, the hard drive with that version of Windows 7 on failed a long time ago.

Got a Logitech yoke, pedals and throttle system which works quite well, so will be using that.
As mentioned you can refund through Steam, but don’t hang around. They’ll review your request and if it’s more than a few hours of gameplay, they’ll say no.
