On the Xbox series X, it runs 95% perfect. At times (especially when using an exterior camera angle) it the frame rate drops down a little, but otherwise it catches up back to smooth very quick. Yes its a MASSIVE install ,but that's to be expected. The base install took a few hours here, mixed in with the updates. Then another hour or so for the USA extra packages etc. Aircraft selection is decent in the standard version and I like how the marketplace has more airports, area, aircraft etc to download/buy. The best thing about this is the graphics and true to life satellite imagery. Also the live METARs weather, time and live traffic....This brings me back 20 years when i wanted to get my pilots license, but at the time it became too expensive to keep up with it. Now flying over the areas I used fly in, local airports with decent to exact imagery....its insane. Ill be getting a yoke setup eventually, as it should help with my one complaint of the sim. The ability to fly while controlling the cockpit, making communications, heading adjustments, flight plan info, ATIS,....while flying (then pressing the L stick to active the menus and controls) is clunky. hopefully a yoke setup will alleviate some of the control burden at least. Pausing the sim, is a little bit of a reality breaker. The game could use small improvements here and there, but none are deal breakers. Wish it had a lite version of Foreflight or access to FAA sectional charts, airport cards etc. Especially on ground taxiing. They can be had outside of MS FS, but its one of those things where...if you want to take the game seriously, you'll invest ( if you're not a private or commercial pilot already). But if you're not, getting that extra info starts to add up. But provide just basic FAA sectionals, airport cards. Another fun idea would be id the sim also threw in live NOTAM's Otherwise this is the best investment I made in a while.
the reason i put four stars not five is it can get boring at times. but once again it's a great game you should buy it. : )
