Hey Everyone,

Check this first video out! What do you see...go to 6:20 in the video. Now, do some searching on YouTube for further gameplay; especially, with airplanes.

This second video is an example of gameplay...look at 1:25 onward.

This is "The Crew 2" by Asobo Studios...yes, the same Asobo as in MSFS 2020 new star developer.

Now, throw in Azure AI and Bing Maps.

Here is the Wiki:

Thanks John.

What I find amazing is, if you look at Asobo's "Fuel" game from 2009, they were killing it! To bad MSFS did not get with them back then....

Also, the big question everyone asks about MSFS 2020 is what are the PC Specs? Well, looking at the PC Specs for "The Crew 2", which is not really that much, it'll give us an idea as to what'll be needed beyond a major fast internet connection.

Besides all the other thoughts flying around (pun intended...lol), I wonder what VATSIM will be like in MSFS 2020?
