PMDG doing the 737-800

Cockpit textures for it look excellent!

FYI, for anyone that would want to use wireless streaming to play this on Quest in VR (once VR is enabled for other headsets) I just came across this post from the developer of Virtual Desktop:
"I’d recommend getting it on Steam as most games from the Microsoft store cant be injected. If its using the Oculus SDK, it will need to be injected to work correctly"
Might influence where you decide to purchase if you are a quest user.

Still good for 1080p at least
New cards can’t come soon enough so I can bump up to 4K.

Excellent, will buy standard version from there thenIt's on Steam

I much prefer having my games in as few launchers as possible.
Edit: Embargo has been lifted for the press, so expect a lot more gameplay videos.
Obsidian Ant delivers again:

5:20 he shows off the various settings and the impact on FPS.
CPU around 50%.
Hes using a i7 6700K with 2080 S, 32GB of RAM.
Frame rates drop from +100fps at low at 1080p down to 30s.

No, you still needed to signup for the beta, the part for gamepass is it just allows pre-load as its part of gamepass

Got a beta invite, yay

I hope so, can't afford to upgrade my whole system and GPU
Looking forwards to the new Gpu's as my 980ti is going to be sweating. Looking like my 2700x will be okay though. DF's video indicated that it can become cpu bound at airports even on a 3900x at ultra though which is insane, although as they optimise for xbox we may see some performance improvements come our way too

I'm still a little bit intrigued about whether this game will be OK or not, as streamers like Captain Canada are still bound to an NDA. All the reviews and videos I've seen so far are from people who will get the most out of FS by treating it as a game rather than a sim. Most videos are evidently from people who have little to no idea about what they are doing.
FD2S posted a video with synopsis saying he looks forward to flying in FS2020 AND XPlane 11 soon - so sounds like he isn't throwing XPlane out just yet (maybe that is because FS2020 doesn't have a 737 yet, which he principally flies).
I'm just wondering whether the quality of the aircraft, particularly big jets is fully functioning to a similar level of detail that say the 737-800 Zibo mod is.

I'm by no means a hardcore simmer but watching the below video, everything I would expect to be there in a 747 is there. All buttons seem to be functioning and not just placeholders. I've also seen videos where people go through the realism settings and it definitely looks like flight dynamics / physics and weather affects are all able to be set to ultra realistic.

I guess....
I've got to stop watching videos like this....

Not sure if I'm misunderstanding, but MFS2020 does have a 737?
Signed up when the insider stuff first started. Nada

From what I can tell, it has a 747 and an A320. More jets to come, but I think they will come from companies like PMDG who, as per my link above, are already cracking on with their version for expected release for Q1 in 2021.
Caporegime
You're right sorry, was getting mixed up between the 737 and A320, duh.
