How do you get the yoke back once you toggled it off?

You can just click on its "socket" on the instrument panel

My PC is stuttering far too much on 1440P at Lowest Settings - CPU getting maxxed out

Think of it as an early benchmark app for showing everyone what they need to upgrade to be ready for Cyberpunk in 3 months time

Went with Game Pass on PC. 150GB odd!

Cyberpunk was exactly what I thought of when I struggled to run FS2020 today

Gunna need to upgrade before November!

Apologies if this has been answered before.

Microsoft have said that those with the basic version will be able to upgrade to include the deluxe content at a later date. Does the game currently give this option and, if so, can individual aircraft be bought or just packs?

Tried flying from Manston to Dover, over estimated the landing, over stressed the aircraft and it ended, not the best first flight! What button is it to get the photo mode where the plane stays still?

Pause/break will pause it

Anyone downloading via steam? I install the 500mb by steam then goes to the sim but nothing happens on this screen?

 

[Ur round next]

Steam version just loaded the game after the 500MB install on steam to download the rest

 

[BriT]

Yeah got it working now.

Did you do anything different on that first screenshot because I have the same or do you just leave it running like that ? There's no indication anything is downloading.

my preload on GP didn't do anything over night, had to uninstall the 1GB and start again, then it downloaded a digital licence and started the install

Once you get into the game installer menu its a long haul from there. I am on 350+ connection and its managed 2GB in last 10 odd minutes.

Be interested to see how my system does once its ready though

Right back to bed lol

I went to the Microsoft website and logged out and reinstalled the steam download.

 

[subroutine]

Thanks. I shut it all down, inc steam and then run the game from the desktop icon. It's now downloading.

 

[BriT]

Sweet

mines the same - download finished and has installed fine - but I keep getting CTDs before I even reach being able to fly

had about 6 CTDs so far

Lost patience with this for today. The download finished. But the game crashes every time I load it up. Driver update made no difference on that front.

Given how long it takes to load the game up, I'll try again tomorrow.

Oh please don't let them have made such a simple mistake where it only likes being installed on a C:\ drive and all the dependencies are screwed if you don't.

When it did the setup to the main download I was bit confused, it was stated c drive appdata location as directory but stating my 2tb drives remaining space? I purposely created a new folder and aimed it at that to make sure.

Let's see if it works.....

That doesnt sound good
