Looks like I wont pick up this title any time soon. Will definitely do so down the road, like maybe 6 months when all the bugs, perf issues sorted out. Plus new rig to play it @ 4k.

I have not benched MSFS since this patch but get OK performance as it is. It's very serene as opposed to explosions and fast moving visuals. So, 30 - 50 FPS is absolutely fine and the game looks stunning. I know 'Career/Missions' is on Microsoft's, user requested list but that is not currently in progress. I started using OnAir Airline Management, which effectively turns MSFS into Euro Truck Simulator 2 but with planes. It adds a nice little company management sim to the sim. If you are transporting goods and you slam your Cessna into a runway it costs your company money, if you stall, don't communicate with ATC, taxi incorrectly etc you get penalised. So it also actually teaches to use the sim correctly. There are little things I'd like MS to add, like when you put your call sign on the side of your plane and your flight number, to be able to save those changes to the planes in your hangar.

Ummm the patch?...anyone?

Hello! I believe you owe me money! I have a court order for one Shane/Andrew Forde. Currently in the process of tracking him/you down! I have two potential addresses, one in UpperHutt and one in Christchurch. If you could save me some time if you are the person I am looking for - if you could message me so we can sort this out. Thank you!
