I have Series X, but Microsoft is going to use Xcloud to get this up and running on last gen too. I am curious to see how they do it, and what the performance and visuals will be like.

If that is the case what benefits will Xcloud have for the newer hardware? I am only a little tech savvy, and have very little knowledge, on how exactly that works exactly other than you are streaming some assets of coarse.

Basically, on series S/X it's gonna be running natively on the hardware. The map data is still streamed but just ignore that lol. You can kinda predict what kind of performance you're gonna get out of that based off what we've seen this gen already.

Then on the original XB1 it's just streaming the Series X version (like PS Now streaming a PS3 game)- so the same performance and resolution, but with the negatives associated with streaming such as macroblocking, crushed blacks, input lag, stutters, etc

Thenold gen haedware will be streaming on azure xbox servers, which in short, are now Series X consoles.

Flight simulator uses the cloud for real time weather and air traffic.
I believe it is also going to be streamed on xbox one to run the game.

For now. They announced plans last month for X1 to cloud stream X|S titles specifically name dropping Flight Simulator.

No it isn't. It will run via Xcloud on last gen Xbox consoles. Already confirmed. The Sim shouldn't, but it will. Not only Flight Simulator, but other upcoming Series Xbox games too. I think that is FANTASTIC! I have a Series X, but Microsoft taking the time to make sure current gen games run on last gen IS UNMATCHED by any console maker.

MS had hinted they want to try and get this running on last gen Xbox via the cloud - Don't hold your breath. I'm more interested in the Steam deck version :) Hehe.

Almost every big game has a 60fps option this generation. I’ll always opt for higher framerate.

30fps with unlocked framerate on VRR.

Show me any PC that runs this game at a locked 60fps

The vast majority of VRR ranged go from 40-120hz or 48-120hz. So 30fps unlocked is not going to benefit from VRR unless its consistently above 40fps

Which TV do you know has a range that starts at 30? They are just saying that its unlocked, my point still stands, unless its consistently above 40fps, VRR wont do anything because thats where the range starts on the TVs

You totally know more about the performance of the game and its capability in hitting VRR frame rates than the developers that spent the effort implementing it.

--Onilink--1740d ago (Edited 1740d ago )

Im literally stating facts about the ranges on the TELEVISIONS… never have I stated anything of the games performance because its not out yet so we dont know

So once again, IF the game is consistently above 40fps in its unlocked mode, then yes VRR will kick in and do its job.
IF its not consistently above 40fps, then everytime it isnt, you will notice stutter and/or screen tearing.

Its as simple as that, VRR isnt some magic cure for unlocked framerates, the game still needs to consistently (ideally ALWAYS) not drop below the VRR range of the display, otherwise the feature loses its purpose the more it happens

Whether the game is able to do it, we shall see in a few days when its out. I was already expecting to only be able to play it at 30fps, so if it can actually do 40+ then all the better since I have a B9 and know VRR is a killer feature

Sim Update 5 compared to Sim Update 4 shows 60fps vs 30-40fps. Might not be locked but its damn close!
And it's not even on the best rig you can have. this is shown on a i7 9700k and a 2060 super

MFS is an intense demanding game. 30 FPS on S for sure. As for X I don't know but anything is possible.

Like it, or don't like it, the Series X version runs at 4K @ 30fps, and with monitors that support VRR, will run at 4K @ 30fps+.

Here's a source

https://www.theverge.com/20...

And i quote :-

"On the Series X, Flight Simulator runs at 4K resolution and targets 30 frames per second."

and

https://www.engadget.com/mi...

Quote : "In a Twitter response spotted by Eurogamer, Microsoft confirmed the Series X and S would target a base 30 frames per second. However, if you happen to own a relatively recent TV set that features an HDMI 2.1 connection and support for a variable refresh rate, the game will go above 30 fps."

Oh, and also the devs themselves confirming 30+ fps when using VRR!!!

Flight Simulator is the most advanced Sim ever created! Real time everything! If it runs at 30fps, so be it. It is absolutely STUNNING on Series X!
