Are you bothered about unlocked framerates, or is 60fps enough for you?. I got a 2700X, motherboard, and 16gb of ram for £200, and at 60fps, the 2700X laughs at games, with a lot of games using only 20% cpu usage. Hell AC: Odyssey, which would 100% my 6700k at a stuttery 50-60fps, only uses 40-50% cpu usage at 60fps.

Any Thrustmaster T-Flight HOTAS will work well enough.
That being said, HOTAS mimic controls for military aircraft, so it's not exactly the most immersive solution. It is definitely a good functional one, tho.

I would say 60fps is enough for me but I'm waiting on the AM5 socket. I figure I can wait another year and build a new computer with core parts (motherboard, ram, etc.) that will be good to go for another 5 years. I can pop in a new GPU or CPU if I want or needs change.
I'm actually surprised it's coming out next month, I didn't expect it until the end of this year at the earliest.

we need details as to what minimum requirements will land you above 60 fps at the highest settings (pun intended)

Tag, you're it.
Answer my question above if you can buddy
It's been around 3 months, can't really remember when exactly
I'm on a laptop: SSD, i7 9750H, RTX 2070 & 16 GB RAM @ 1080p
The game isn't even maxed out in the screens, it's a mix between high/ultra and I'm getting 40 FPS in cities and 60/70+ elsewhere
I know... it's just that I put myself in the place of people who are waiting for more information and visuals.
For my account, what will happen will happen

Nice, my PC falls in with a mix of Reccomended and Ideal. 1080p/60 shouldnt be much of a problem hopefully.

Member
nope, it looks like it will be a problem
i am on the same boat
according to mr. kyoshi up there we're gonna get between 20-30 fps on medium settings, unless you are okay with that it's time for a new gpu and more ram

You missed the most important spec, which will be broadband throughput - 1 GBs will probably be ideal.

Damn, I was not expecting it next month.
Might buy it to mess about with until Series X version is out

Well i already have a 2700X, and 32gb of ram. I 'only' have a 980ti and not a 2080. I think it depends what Reccomended and Ideal actual mean. I mean is Ideal 4k/60?, is Reccomended 1080p/60?
triplestation
Member
well, kyoshi ran his on a RTX 2070 on a 1080 res screen and got between 40-70 fps
so that tells me ideal spec is for 1080p
Stuart360
Member
He was running a laptop though wasnt he?. If a desktop 2070 could only manage 40-70fps at 1080p, even 2 2080ti's in SLI wouldnt be able to produce that 4k/60 trailer!.

him playing it on a laptop is an interesting point, i don't know if there is big difference between laptops and pcs with the same specs
we'll have to just wait and look out for fps tests on youtube by people who have 970s, 1070s, 1080s+ and see how they perform on fs2020

It wouldn’t surprise me if it’s quickly modded in, especially when you can quickly bypass the various VR controllers and just implement head tracking for people with a HOTAS

There can be a huge difference between laptop and desktop parts. GPU's for example can literally be half as powerful with the laptop version.

well, at least that gives me SOME hope

They said they will look into it sometime after launch. Nothing concrete. It would be a crime if they wouldn't.

those "ideal" specs though. basically a top of the line PC at the moment.

I can't wait to have no idea what I'm doing when this launches and I frisbee my plane off the end of every runway.
What does wing strike mean? It keeps saying danger, is that a bad thing?

I have a super rig for less than 10k. Good enough for you?
Well, thats something you don’t see a lot. Not even the heaviest games
I am fine though, got no problem running it on ultra.

I’m glad they went all out. They’re heavy specs now but in a couple of years when expensive tech trickles down it’ll give the game new life to people upgrading.

The technology is absolutely impressive.. I wonder if I can fly over my house, curious as to what I will see.

I am really concerned by the foilage quality. Please tell me they will apply better textures and LOD than this in final version

9800X and 32GB for ideal specs holy shit.
I at least come in above recommended but games these days are closing in fast

A lot of people that have gone in to try the game before release have done what you are describing and have seen their house.
The game uses satellite map data as the base for what you see in-game. So if our house was in the map data it should be in the game. I'm sure small details like facias and fences will be off, but when you're looking at a 1:1 recreation of the Earth I might let a few things slide.

So I'm still excited...
but FYI some people are supposedly breaking NDA on reddit to give impressions and honestly they're not all great. The most worrying issue is the flight model being poor. Granted there's still time to fix it but i'd say it would be wise to keep expectations in check. That said, some of you noobs who don't otherwise play fight sims very often might not even notice a difference.

Don't serve a load of FUD and leave without the details. What exactly is wrong with the flight model?

: Honestly, I'm pretty confident about the performance. I really believe it's going to be fine.
