Flight Simulator - Birthday gift from family

I have seen a lot of hype about Flight Simulator 2020, including glowing reports and horror stories. Most seem to date from early release days so maybe OK now. Also I suspect a lot of horror stories stem from people with low spec PCs and/or low PC experience. My Computer spec below. Running Windows 10.

Any recent views you'd care to share? My birthday is in a week or so (82 so no spring chicken but ex-real pilot experienced).

Intel Core i7 @ 3.20GHz 30 °C Coffee Lake 14nm Technology

Motherboard Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd. Z370N WIFI-CF (U3E1) 37 °C
Graphics BenQ PD2700U (2560x1440@59Hz)

Flight simulator 2020 is a very demanding title. It's more heavily reliant on the CPU (single threaded performance) in addition to the GPU for the FPS.

Since you are running 2x monitors (1440p), I think you will find your GPU is going to struggle to hit 30fps. It will probably be playable, but you will have to turn down a number of settings.

I attempted to play on a Core i5-6500 (Skylake @ 3.2Hgz) with a 6GB 1060 on a 2k display with 32GB of RAM and found it unplayable. I've since upgraded to a much stronger rig, but haven't tried FS again on it.

Thanks for the feedback.

It does seem ridiculous I know, but I cannot find anywhere that tells me what keyboard key does what and as for the 6 buttons on each side of the control stick, I've figured some out through trial and error. Searching has failed to point to anything helpful.
I am using Windows 10, latest Flight Simulator. and TCS Sidestick Airbus edition.
Very irritating when I could get in a real plane Chipmunk and fly that, despite years since last flight!

Thank you.

Since the SU5 update performance was boosted quite a bit even for older 3rd generation CPUs such as mine (3770K). Currently on 'High setting' within the sim I can hold steady say over southern Ca. region 50-55fps using an LG 34in Ultra-wide monitor at 2560x1080p. See my computer for full specs.

I'm so glad I did not rush out and spend thousands on a new system. I was involved in the development as an alpha & beta prior to release.

We will end up overtime time with more performance/stability. Asobo also plans on bringing Direct X 12 api as well.
