We leave you with a series of recommendations to fully enjoy the new flight simulator Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.

It's been a little over 14 years for us to see such a legendary simulator that comes back to life today full of great surprises, loaded with images as real as your monitor can show, cities are coming, and 3D elements, 2 million cities, 37.000 airports, real flight dynamics that give you a behavior similar to the aircraft you want to fly. From 18 August at 12:00 a.m. in your country you can use it and those who have already purchased it can use it (remember that it is a download of up to 150GB).

Recommended teams

(desktop preferably, take into account that a laptop decreases its performance up to a 33% with respect to the tower).

Always a clean install of Windows 10 from 0 Is it the best or Install Windows 10 in a partition other than MSFS2020 if your drive is not solid state. Although a solid state one is more common today and also because of its transfer speed you will notice the difference when using it.

Four most common options in configurations:

with new equipment. (with minimum specifications, recommended and ideal)

With semi new and repowered equipment.

old team.

Xbox.

*For this program to work in all cases you must be properly connected with your Xbox or Microsoft account ([email protected], [email protected], etc. ) and have a permanent broadband internet connection. The program will register your access and you will be able to enjoy all the scenarios where you decide to fly.

Recommended more than 20 MB/s is ideally free 50 MB/s

With New Equipment

In this first case, there are computer alternatives for its configuration., an AMD, e Intel, with its minimum specifications, recommended and ideal.

Minimum Specifications

Minimum specifications for processors, video cards and components that are on the market at affordable prices, keep in mind that a restricted configuration will request and demand certain additional resources, However, you will be able to use it being aware of that.

Ryzen processor 3 or an Intel I3 9th Generation. graphics: RX570 or GTX1050 respectively, Ryzen 3 3300X, Intel I5 9400 O +, on RX570 OC video card, GTX1050.

It should be noted that it can run with a previous generation video card but ultimately the output quality of the graphics will be greatly restricted.

recommended equipment

For less limited budgets, the recommended equipment is found since they are probably the best possible alternative because they do not demand a large budget and the specifications are about 2 a 3 years before, that if we find in the market at cheaper prices or its replacement also with reasonable prices, obviously we are going to prefer a ninth or tenth generation Intel for an eighth generation, AMD Ryzen 7 to one of 5; graphics: GTX1070 (high-end card but 2016) as alternatives: GTX1050TI, GTX1060TI, GTX1650TI, GTX1660TI, GTX1080 this is already high-end but it will work acceptably well for you and will probably be out of budget, but if you have the resources an upper mid-range Turing generation like the: RTX2060TI is perfect and is the ideal replacement as well as an RTX2050TI, consider that by September 2020 they would already be the Ampere generation (3080)

Ideal Configurations

There is talk that a "machine monster" is needed, but the reality is that it is not., they will see why. Nevertheless, This option does require a comfortable budget and if this is your case I recommend these same alternatives that you will surely be able to improve since this year we will have the Ampere RTX 30xx generation and new processors at the oven door.

On Intel 10th generation processors in i7 or i9. Ampere Nvidia video card: or RTX2070 or RTX2080 wait that in a month the 3080!

For AMD we have two ideal options in processors such as the: Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 9. Radeon VII video card.

Semi New Equipment / repowered

If you have a semi-new equipment, you probably have to update very little, the something, consider the options indicated above to increase RAM memory, replace the video card or upgrade your drive to put the program on it. It is the cheapest alternative since you would only have to purchase the program and increase something if you purchased your computer at the end of the 2018 until the 2019. (considering current standards).

Steps: Verify the model of your mainboard so that you know its specifications, for discs, memory, video and USB ports lets you.

You can check the prices and guarantees of the different components on the internet!, to choose based on that and according to your budget! At this point I recommend a video card as powerful as possible and a solid state drive. In this case and in the following, it is understood that the changes will be made by you or in a specialized place..

A repowered team is any team prior to the 2018 that has already been changed or current components can be adapted, if the basics allow it, and is providing high performance to this day, They can be equipment that at the time was high-end or mid-range that is maintained by its own users, This is usually the reality of many people in the world that we are gradually updating our equipment according to the budget.

old team

Consider official requirements. If your computer is close to or equal to the recommended minimums and runs Win10 without problems, he will be able to execute it, However, there may be some drawbacks in FPS, and on screen display; Now when we refer to a team being old, we are talking about it being from the 2010 al 2015. (¡Ojo, but not much more than that!) Needless to say if you can upgrade I will always recommend an SSD or two on a clean install. In addition to improving performance, there will be no further problems, by using the correct and most up-to-date drivers.

Xbox

If you are not a user yet, I suggest you visit Xboxpass and subscribe to it. With your subscription you will be able to run the "standard" version on the PC from 18 august 2020.

At the moment it will be available only for PC * data to be confirmed, but as an Xbox user you just have to download the program for PC (Windows 10) and run it.

updates, and third-party enhancements

Microsoft and the entire team of developers have promised to update and improve the program free of charge for all those who have officially purchased the program in any of its versions., with which you will have access to all the features, and new options that are coming.

Follow the suggested computer recommendations. For screens, the ideal is that your monitor supports HDR and has a refresh rate (FPS) high or very high (all modern HDMI and DP devices meet this requirement).

If you are a simulator user we assume that you already have specific hardware such as a joystick, and probably a set of pedals, grouper, powers, or more. If these are compatible with Windows 10, will work on FS2020.

They can be purchased from the store of the same airport program, planes, utilities, for your simulator and install them directly. With few clicks. If you are an advanced user you will have other alternatives, but the idea is to facilitate the use of the program.

Already in the store you find airports and ORBX scenarios, Fairing planes to say a few. This will increase over time as many of the developers are creating and publishing content for FS2020!!

The hardware and peripherals is another advantage since it is very easy to use, it will be enough to connect it to the computer and the program will detect it. The big advantage is that the configuration is completely automatic, And if you want to assign any other function, its intuitive and easy-to-use interface will allow you to do it with total ease..

Purchase and Download

After acquiring your license you will receive the link for your download. If you had pre-purchased it in previous days, After midnight on release day you will receive the download link It will take some time depending on your internet connection (you download it only once) and the updates are not as big as the program itself, so this time YES you should take all the precautions.

The download size is up to about 150 GB (It will depend on the version purchased.). The download time according to your type of connection with that volume of data will be approximately:

• average of 10-15 Mb/s: 1 days 4 hours 26 minutes and 40 seconds.
• average of 20-25 Mb/s: 14 hours 13 minutes and 20 seconds.
• average of 50-60 Mb/s: 6 hours 49 minutes and 12 seconds.
• average of 100 Mb/s: 3 hours 24 minutes and 48 seconds.
• Average 1000 Mb/s: 20 minutes and 0 seconds.

We recommend that, if you have another type of connection, use a download manager. We also recommend doing it at night or when there is not much traffic in your house and remember that you should always have an internet connection to enjoy the highest configuration, although you can also use it without being connected to the internet. In this way you will be able to see and notice the difference in the quality of the images.

Finally, I am very grateful for all your kind comments and the queries made to my email, which I have been answering in order of arrival. Additionally, all pending and those that are arriving will also be answered!!
