New York in Microsoft Flight Simulator Preview: scenic flight

The details are amazing, and they also added VR support now...

There are several versions available for pre-sale.
The low budget edition cost 70€, up to 120€ for the full game.

Think I'm going to get the full version, cause buying half a game sucks.
Specially since the low budget version has limited enviroments, cities and planes.

This channel has a lot more example videos, but I'm not watching too much of them.
More fun exploring the game myself once I get to play it.

Looks very sweet and yeah...does seem pointless buying
half a game with restricted features.
I would get the full version if i was into that stuff.

Also kind of ironic that the landscapes look far more realistic
than the digital parts in the aeroplane

I also noticed the cockpit looked a bit low grade compared to the rest.
Maybe it's just this model of airplane he is flying, or perhaps he is using low texture settings.

I hope it will be possible to fly with the plane disabled from view or to have camera view from the plane's nose.
That would be awesome with VR.  

Guess it's only that one cockpit from the first video that appears to have low detail graphics, all the others look pretty realistic.
This video also shows the difference in content from the standard to premium deluxe version.  

Yeah,those cockpits are much better than that first one you showed.
The delux instraments didn`t look much higher quality than the 
standard ones either.
Looks very nice and a huge thing to explore,will take years to master
each plane methinks.

I think the graphics quality is the same for all packages, only difference is the extra content in the form of detailed areas, more planes and airports

Normally it would take a long time and dedication to learn to read and handle the cockpit instruments, specially combined with all the keyboard commands. But maybe VR with a good user interface makes it a lot easier to learn. It becomes more like real pilot training instead of playing a flight sim behind the pc.
Lot easier to virtually point at a switch to flip it, instead of having to press ctrl+alt+f to adjust the flaps.
