It would seem that serious air systems are a very niche genre, so a large audience does not shine for them. But Microsoft Flight Simulator proves the opposite: she managed to break through to the top of Steam charts.

Within a day after the release MFS reached almost 62,000 simultaneous users. This peak was enough for the simulator for some time to get into the ten most populated games in the vastness of the service Valve And overtook, say, Dead by Daylight And Rocket League. At the time of writing the news MFS already slightly sagged and takes the 16th line.

However, the prose reason was partly affected by such a frisky take -off: through Steam, players are not pumping the entire client, but only 500 megabytes of Loncher. The remaining more than 90 gigabytes must be pulled through this very londcher. That is, while users sat and loaded the archives in the "launch", Steam read them as people who are in the game.

Loncher led to a squall of negative assessments on the page MFS: In the vast majority of popular reviews with diesella, they complain that the time counter is ticking while the game is being downloaded. So, it will not be able to return it if there are some problems-when the client is loading, it dries in Steam for much more than two hours, within the framework of which “refandes” approve of.

In addition, some write that Loncher, in principle, is problematic: it manages to load the system hard, does not always work, sometimes stops pumping for unknown reasons. Some users did not immediately receive content from Premium Deluxe for 8,712 rubles, but it seems that now this trouble has disappeared.

However, even in negative reviews, they often add that in itself MFS I came out with an impressive game with advanced graphics, detailed simulation and pleasant features. The productivity is lame and 60 FPS does not even get to powerful PC, but leisurely aviation nature is favorable to the falls of personnel frequency - they say, even at 30 fps MFS supports a comfortable playfulness level.

At the time of writing news rating Microsoft Flight Simulator Steam is 60 %. Critics were much warmer - apparently, because they evaluated the game itself, and not a clubfoot installation.

The best comments

If you briefly summarize what the real pilots familiar to me are saying about the MFS, it will turn out something like this: the graphics and physics are very good (it’s good that my fear has not been confirmed), the elaboration of the world is simply magnificent, people really find their homes there. Further a couple of quotes:

Weather - the weather is the best that I saw once in simulators.
Sounds - sounds are amazing, even with sharp rolls you can hear the howl of wind on the wings.
Those who carefully listen to radio exchange will really like the fact that the real callsigns of our companies “Siberian Airlines” “Sverdlovsk” “Aeroflot” are heard on the air - especially, especially to the one who really heard it all.

They also talk about good optimization, especially for such graphics.

But there are shortcomings:

True, there is a strangeness - a chatter, it feels like a scribbled, sharp unrealistic rolls are, but in general OK, but worse than DCS.
Defult aircraft are very primitive, on the other hand, T -shirts never made good default aircraft, for VFR turboprops are very good, airbas is a fierce gavnisch. (Avorsk text, it is an A320 KVS, so it can evaluate this)
The navigation databases are very crooked, there is, it seems, everything that is actually, but it didn’t work correctly or use it, maybe my hands are crooked.

In conclusion, I want to say that so far this simulator is only for VFR (t.e. Visual) flights for now, since it was not possible to even fly on a normal Airbus, which is only worth the inability to make the correct Direct to a point from your Flyte Plan, but you need to write a separate review of the calamus.

Well, there is still a lot of things there. Very strange routes on the navigation display of the same Airbas and T.D.

The reception of critics was much warmer - apparently because they evaluated the game itself, and not a clubfoot installation.

And I appreciated the game on the lags. At the Paris airport, I had 8 FPS on average graphics settings, despite the fact that I have a fermented 2700x, 1070ti and 16 GB of operations. Yes, this is far from a top, but it is a powerful assembly and it will be so at least half a year - a year. And at the same time 8 frames Karl!
And for the dessert to this, eternal loads with disgusting control on clavo mouse. Management did not make people who have two hands.
No, thanks. Zen of this game passed me by. Thank God Steam, thank God Refand.

Well, is that so. I saw a ton of complaints from people who have during loading (!) the meter exceeded in 2 hours, but there was not even a launch itself

And how he managed? There, Longcher shakes the game separately, and the load is counted, since, they say, the game process is launched, all things? Two hours and all, no refunds?

But you can’t start Steam offline and download? Or I am very smart, just some games with strange launches could sometimes be launched from the game folder, and Steam did not recognize them as running even when online.

Half a year - a year? Yes, you are modest, the basis is even worse than cards, I recently changed the ATI R9 280X 3GB old woman at 2070s 8GB, I pulled everything, but I wanted more. If the system itself is more or less, then a good time will live. I was sitting on a very ancient Xeon, but he, like i7, and now he shows well.

But hell knows. I do not have a copy, however, I saw how Mmokhah Steam considered the time of a neglected Longcher, so I wrote to you about it.

In general, I also tried and join the opinion of the KVS Artyom-so far this thing is more for WAU-floors on small aircraft around cities and memorable places. And it's really interesting.
According to my sensations from A320, they made 737 control. Which is fundamentally wrong, because they should feel it in a completely different way. It would be better then made 737. I have a suspicion that they were afraid to compete with the free 737 from Zibo. Make it worse - everyone will say that they lost to a free project that three people do. It is better to do it already go to the PMDG level, very laborious.
What I liked very much - gran service. These are all trucks, luggage loading, people who walk around. Here the guys really confused. These are all completely useless little things, but they create an atmosphere.
Pushback machines are very well worked out. True, they push the plane somewhere in the wrong place, but maybe I haven't figured it out yet.
Snow, rain, puddles on the platform and runway look very good. Before that, they couldn't do it anywhere. At the same time, I turned on the High-End settings and did not slow down and did not lie. Apparently the new NVIDIA driver really helps.
But. For some reason, wow effect did not happen. Maybe because for me it is already a routine and it doesn’t matter what schedule is there, I don't know. Wow the effect was at the end of 2016, when after FSX I saw a demo X-Plane 11, I immediately fell in love with default 737-800 and immediately bought a XP11 Beta for $ 60. And here the situation should be the same, but it doesn't catch.

In the sense of how I managed? I chose a free flight (or I don’t remember how it is there), I chose Paris from Balda, chose a plane, pressed the start. All. Before that, I still tried to go through the first training mission, but scored. As a result, an hour and a half had a fault with this and managed to make a refund. + I have a quick Internet.
