This is so exciting but the biggest question in my mind is what hardware you'll need to drive all this stuff.

Are they using 3 Nvidia cards in SLI for the demo, or something similarly insane? The 32 GB memory isn't that crazy given how cheap memory is these days.

Nice review of the latest update to Microsoft Flight Simulator. Where did the video creator get the original footage from? Can someone point me to an official Microsoft footage?

Seems like he put together the video from small videos off of the official channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqONzeACDBaF6FfKjh7ndAQ/vid... which is linked in the video description.

It is launching on Xbox One as well as PC, and it only has 8GB of RAM and a fairly slow CPU.

The Xbox One version won't look like this, though.

I checked the minimum required specs advertised for FS2020 and it made me sad. I have a pretty decent used dell M6800 workstation at home (gen 4 i7, K3100M graphics, 32GB RAM) and I don't know if I'll be able to run it.

Looks like it's currently in Alpha though, so hopefully by release those requirements should come down at least a bit assuming they optimise it.
