Microsoft store. No VR, no guns, no interest from me.
Unless you want the more expensive versions with more planes and airports, the best option seems to be a game pass subscription on Xbox app/MS store on PC. I wouldnāt be surprised if it ends up on Steam at some point in the future though, considering MS games like Halo and Sea of Thieves are on Steam now.
What is the latest word on VR? Last I remember in November they said they would be working hard at including it. It will be a shame if it doesnāt ship with it, but Iāll still pick it up. That is just too sweet looking. Iāll make do with the trackir until they vr support.

Looking at the store page I think it is clear there wonāt be VR at launch. Donāt assume there will be track IR support at launch either.

After launch, yeah. Initially they werenāt planning on having it all.
Iām not even sure if the MS Store currently works with VR or not. Dirt Rally 2 doesnāt have it, for example.
That would really suck if it doesnāt even have trackir support.
As gorgeous as it looks, probably a no-go for me until they get VR. Iāll be keeping an eye on reactions though. Have they announced when the testers are freed from the NDA?
Wow this is out on game pass next month! What a great surprise.
You want next gen? Hereās your next gen!
One positive of this announcement is that they seem to have scrapped their plan to have the top-tier terrain mapping only available with a monthly subscription.

There was never any indication that this was their plan. Some people simply assumed it might be the case, because of how heavily the sim relies on streaming from Azure. Microsoft and Asobo never said anything to this effect.
I must be imagining things as I remembered a PC Gamer article ages ago where they mentioned it was one option they were exploring. Itās entirely possible what i am remembering is a speculative piece and not an interview.
Now thatās the kind of gear I wouldnāt mind flying with:
This is definitely going to be the software of 2020 for me.
I might have to hook the PC up to the Sony TV to get HDR (if supported) and 4K resolution.
Whoa thatās nice.
Whereās the chair?
I hope MS has improved their patching methodology.
Kinda want it for the printed manual.
