Thats incredible, looks stunning and the fact they have created a navigatable globe that is accurate and looks detailed from the sky at least is nothing short of remarkable. Only wish i had a pc or they were doing it on ps4. Is this where gaming is heading? Will the ps5 have the power to pull in things like live weather conditions into games?

Easily. The last version of FS could do it and it's 14 years old

Is PlayStation now worth it? Thinking of giving it a try.

Also tried to play Metro Exodus. The graphics are nice but the writing and the dialogue has to be the worst I've ever seen/heard.

I had a free trial and didn't find anything to play despite all the games available.

I downloaded World Championship Snooker for £13 I'm that bored lately and I can't win a frame lol.

I also bought Rage 2 which seems ok considering that was also £13.

There we go Ghost of Tsushima platinum. Had less than I thought left to do so that was nice.

I liked the little message they gave you after doing it.

Also ghosts co-op multiplayer looks like it will add a bit of life after the main story. The fact it is all free for all versions of the game is a bonus.

It's called legends.

That's the full game. Don't know why they said it could be pre loaded and only give you the 1gb launcher to start with.

Anyway, here's hoping Bing Maps give the 3d treatment to the Etihad soon.

Had a pain with it last night to be fair. What I did was uninstall that first gig patch from add/remove. Manually deleted any files I could find related to it, then turned off realtime virus scanning before running the install. Turn off any vpn's too.

Cheers done that and its downloading again but now its say my PC does not meet the minimum requirements when it does easily! So frustrating
 
Flight Sim 2020 is truly next gen and my ageing PC just cannot keep up.

I’m running at medium at around 12-20fps.. using a i5 4460 which is the absolute lowest processor required paired with a gtx1060 6gb and 12GB of ram.

Started with low setting and was only getting 15-20fps. It’s very CPU intensive and I reckon you need a 6 or 8 core CPU to run it properly.

The low FPS isn’t too noticeable though thankfully as its such a slow paced game.
 
How are you guys on MSFS 2020?

I'm getting too early message on Xbox pc app?

Im having major issues downloading it. It keeps crashing half way though the install. Also I've been online and it could be an issue with Game Pass(which im on) as lots of other people are having the same problems. apparently you have to run it as admin and that should work but I might leave it a couple of days when everything has calmed down.

Not sure if MS can cope with the amount of downloads which are happening for this game now

I watched a YT video last night purporting to have it on MAX settings. On the ground in the cockpit he had a solid 60fps, but once in the air, it dropped to 20-29, and I still noticed some draw-in on the tops of buildings and stuff as he came in for landings.
 
Just realised flight simulator is on gamepass alongside Forza horizon 4 so signed myself up for 99p for a month. Have a similar setup to above with gtx 1060 ( but only 3gb), 8 GB of RAM which will need expanding, have to check these processor as can't remember, not used my PC for much other than FM 2020 I'm recent months.

Only issue now is disk space. My internal SSD is 1tb with only 20gb free...

Has anyone had any luck with using gamepass / Microsoft games with steam link? I seem to have been able to fudge it to work with a PS4 dual shock for Forza but even wired it's stuttering and quality is only on balanced and the controls don't seem completely responsive compared to playing directly on PC.

If I can perfect that then flight simulator may be jaw dropping on a bigger screen.

That would go against the usual experience of low FPS on the ground and in airports etc whilst gaining FPS at altitude for a flight sim.
