Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 - DEFAULT VS HANDCRAFTED AIRPORTS

[@AusFlightSimmer]

I do apologies for the sound quality at the start. Windows update have caused a mess with my microphone settings. It gets better towards the end, while I dial it back in again....

[@kaelanditto7074]

Sound quality sounded fine to me keep up the content!

[@matthoggy.20]

Do you think i7-7700k, GTX1060 6GB, 16GB ram, can run this fine or will I need to upgrade? Thinking of i7-10700k, Rtx2070 super and 32GB ram. Thanks guys

Matt it can run it in medium-high settings

[@garylsorrell]

I was wondering, what the game looks like if say you installed it, then shut off your internet, so no streaming anything. I guess what im getting at is how does it look if i dont stream scenery, or have an internet connection at all for some reason, nothing cached.

Maybe you could compare Heathrow (default) to Heathrow (handcrafted) that's part of the Premium Deluxe Edition after the sim launches on the 18th August

[@JoeSmoe1]

[@noroticus]

Well, it depends... Some of the major brazilian airports are worst than the FSX version. They seem to suffer of a rare decease called "tree infection"...hehehe

[@coriscotupi]

@@noroticus Yep. Someone at Microsoft seems to think that SBGL, SBGR, SBRJ etc are piled with sequoias. Then again, this affects other regions also. They were extremely heavy-handed with their "2 trillion trees" thingy.

[@Izmael1310]

Well not doing the EGLL - one of the busiest airport in the World - thats is a mistake.

[@coriscotupi]

@@Izmael1310 So true. EGLL is about on par with LFPG that was chosen to be "hand crafted", in MS parlance, and EGLL was not. One might argue that the French airport is more of a touristic icon, but EGLL is more important in terms of sheer traffic. A better choice IMO would have been to do both, even if that would mean taking another off the list. EDIT - From my understanding, the detailed version of EGLL will be preset in the premium version, only.

[@npont3819]

Adenzel I was going to get the basic version and wait for Sim wings to bring their Heathrow into MSFS or any other 3rd party developer. But it crossed my mind: why would they spend so many resources on bringing an airport that is fully done already

[@maxkillers26]

I'm impressed with the new default night lighting in the airport runways, makes me want to only do night flying in the new sim, what I'm most impressed with is the new autogen and living world and the grass that feels looks like you can jump out your plane and roll over on hilltops, bushflying is going to be stunning!

[@JoeSmoe1]

*Looking at St Maarten on another video I do question the palm tree size on top of the mountains*

Some of the trees are 4x what they should be, so maybe those trees are the same (I saw that too..) .. hopefully they'll fix it if they haven't already.

[@DOMINICAAVIATION]

They a look uniquely and equally amazing. Love how times had changed and Sims are becoming more realistic.

[@AusFlightSimmer]

They are pretty good.

[@mlensvideo]

I was hoping you would show the difference between the standard edition Heathrow/Dubai and the Premium deluxe versions. A lot of us are making up our mind whether to pay twice as much just for one or two better versions of airports we may prefer. It would be appreciated if you would do this, show all the versions of airports, standard, vs the handcrafted in the premium deluxe version. Thanks for the info and videos, much appreciated.

[@lucaans747]

Would be nice if you could also compare the frames at default airports vs. handcrafted airports

[@lucashurst4191]

Yes

[@jimjasutis5046]

There are literally tens of thousands of airports for third party developers to work on. Now that a third party developer has announced that they will be releasing their version of one of the handcrafted airport, I am really looking forward to see how a payware version of Chicago's O'Hare compares to the in game handcrafted version.

[@adrenaline4life233]

Thank you, I’ve been looking for this video for a few days now and your the first person to have done this

[@ThomasGrillo]

Really appreciate you showing the differences between hand-crafted, and default airports. I remember when default airports didn't even have jet bridges, let alone terminal buildings. :)

[@matthewhaynes3376]

I only found your channel a week or two ago, yet I’m amazed how I haven’t found it before. It’s bloody amazing

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Welcome aboard!

[@kaelanditto7074]

Its amazing to see the difference from the first microsoft flight sim in 1984. They really did a amazing job. Really can't wait to see DFW as its my local airport.

[@Dkentflyer]

Thanks for the overview Shane, very impressed with the quality of the airports, would look perfect with real world ai liveries

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Thank you Darren.

[@snatr]

Exactly the type of video I had been searching for. Thanks! I only went with the deluxe version and was having regrets about it. I wasn't gonna miss the extras aircraft, but I was gonna lose out on two big airports here in the US. I figured they'll be pretty well modeled all the same, but had regrets all the same.

[@LoboLakerGaming]

I’d love to check out how DFW looks. 5th busiest airport in the world, second-most runways in the world (7), 5 terminals with a sixth on the way, and serving 75 million passengers a year and a metro area of 7.5 million residents. Not the most scenic (built in the middle of a massive suburban expanse on a flat prairie), but still incredibly significant to the world’s economy. Disappointed it wasn’t handcrafted

[@trytobesteady]

at 5:06 you can see how the algorithm has stamped out an airplane from the satelite image :D

[@MyFlightTV1]

The ground vegetation is gorgeous!!! Thanks for sharing this. If you’re a diehard flight sim fan, just preorder the Premium Deluxe version like I did. I’m sure it won’t disappoint. :-)

[@BernieParker21]

Can you please let me know if Brisbane Airport (YBBN) has the new second runway?

[@AusFlightSimmer]

I sure will.

[@RazvanMaioru]

@@AusFlightSimmer I'd also be curious about the state of Dublin Airport (EIDW), considering there's a new runway under construction that shows up on bing maps (not google though) but isn't really close to finished yet. I'm curious how my first Ryanair flights in the new sim will look like on departure!

[@embedyt]

the default Heathrow looks pretty nice, but I bought the premium deluxe and I think it contains handcrafted Heathrow. Can't wait to compare

[@robbo21blue]

Another excellent vid Aus, keep them coming 👍

[@NeedingSleep]

I think the default gen can kinda pre-build the airport for third party devs, so they can have a reference to what to match and also not have to create from a blank space.

[@contrivix_quest_kwt]

is there going to have all the airports in the world ?

[@923rk]

[@JoeSmoe1]

[@AusFlightSimmer]

[@onakaru]

Do you know if there is, or is going to be, a guide in the sim explaining all the "what's", "how's" and "why's" of the planes and extra stuff in the sim, e.g. what an ILS is or why you need to use flaps etc, or will I just have to Google it all? I remember there being a text guide in-game in the old MSFX sim but never got the time to learn it all, and I'm hoping for something similar in this sim :)

[@AusFlightSimmer]

I'm not sure. But there will be people making video about them.

[@carlhil2]

Playing this sim at Ultra is a must, whether it be 1080p/1440p or 4k, where ever you fit in. got to have those window reflections of the cockpit...

[@spacetoaster1466]

I am pretty impressed by the quality of the default airports. No need to talk about the handcrafted ones, they seem to be of a really high quality, almost payware. Thanks for the quick look! But I am curious about a certain topic. My question for you is: does the game have mouse flying just like Microsoft Flight Simulator X? I know it's a weird question, but I never really enjoyed playing with a joystick, the mouse option worked well for me.

[@tobyjakewright]

great video as always! 👊🏻

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Appreciate it!

[@brichall]

Thank you for another wonderful and informative video. One of my favorite features of MS Flight Simulator was shooting an ILS approach with EFIS to guide me to the airport in all sorts of weather. (Glideslope and localizer.) Will EFIS be available in FS2020? If so, I'd like to see a demo/tutorial video. Say, an approach and landing at JFK or the airport of your choice in an aircraft of your choice. I thank you in advance for your consideration.

[@Aerospace_Education]

Thanks for the video. I would be interested to see the difference between the airports at the different teirs inside of MSFS2020. i.e. We get more airports at the more expensive option. So what do those differences actually look like?

[@YT2007XYZ]

Purchase NOW or AFTER ? I know that my current machine will struggle to meet the minimum specs, but I plan on purchasing new hardware. Will there be any issue with transferring the FS2020 license to a new machine? Hopefully MS won't make me purchase a second copy. Thanks for any opinions.

[@sidplays77]

EGLL is in the premium deluxe as handcrafted it just isn’t included in the preview build, also L52 is part of ORBX freeware scenery and with their announcement today I would expect most airports to be ported across at some point

[@lewmishmiles9469]

REQUEST: Possible to do a flight from somewhere like Bankstown Airport, flying following the M4 through the Blue Mountains and Land at Bathurst? Keen to see how good Mount Panorama looks in sim......Maybe set a waypoint pass the three sisters at Katoomba to see how well they come up also.

[@crisdesousa7195]

Will we be able to pre download the simulator before release?

[@orangespill]

Can you use an internal GPU and an eGPU to share the processing. I have a laptop with ssd's, 32gb ddr4 ram, nvidia 1060 6gb but think it will be completely under spec'ed for my 35inch curved monitor. So if i bought an eGPU with the same/similar spec would one GPU do the rendering for the clouds for example and the other GPU do other stuff ? Great vids, excitement is building, hope you continue the content after the 18th. i.e. top 20 airports to land a cessner in etc etc

[@stanwill]

Great Video, thank you. Do we know if sim airliner companies like Virtualcol or TDS have started designing commercial aircraft? I haven't seen anything on Flightsim.com or any of the major sim sites.
