Microsoft has released new beautiful screenshots for its upcoming flight sim game, Microsoft Flight Simulator. These screenshots showcase some truly amazing Volumetric Clouds, the game’s gorgeous environments and some airplanes.
Microsoft Flight Simulator is an absolutely great looking game. The game’s Volumetric Clouds, in particular are truly incredible. The lighting system also appears to be stunning and highly advanced. Not only that, but the planes also look great. Seriously, and despite some artifacts, these screenshots look as next-gen-ish as they can get. After all, this is to be expected after witnessing the game’s high PC system requirements.
Do note that these screenshots are from the game’s alpha build. As such, they do not represent the quality of the final product. What this basically means is that the final version may look even better. Moreover, there aren’t any real-time Ray Tracing effects in these shots.
Kudos to alpha members simtom112, DampGepard9514, OperatorLand468, Fclem33, Captn Klotz, PlumbingStar6, Jtflightjt, Tomlaut1980, Fmgc320, Fhcraig and WhiteLight506 for capturing these screenshots.
Enjoy!

nice
Damn this looks fine.
We have a long way to go in the computer graphics department, aside from Ray Tracing and Path Tracing.
This fking game is the one that will make me spend several 1000’s and upgrade my internet connection, just to be able to play it.
It will be the first pc game, after almost 20 years of 100% consoles, after I got fed up of constantly having to upgrade the graphic card, ram, cpu…by ~2002-5
And because I only did 50% of the story, I will also be able to play gta5, with those amazing photorealistic texture packs, at ultra everything.
But before it, I will play mass effect 1-2-3, also with the high res texture pack.
I wonder if skyrim on pc looks faaar better than, eg, ps4 pro (even with a patch, textures made my eyes bleed, had to stop playing after 1 hour.
You, see, flight simulator 2020, what you’re doing to my wallet ???
Moving story!
LOL no one asked you a damn thing loser
Have you read the whole comment,
you ‘IM-STILL-VIRGIN-AT-30yo-BUT-MY-FIRST-LOVE-WILL-BE-A-GUY’—->little BOY ?
if yes, you would have learned I’m HAPPY this ‘fuking game’ exists, as it will force me to buy a pc, and finally play some great games at 4k ultra, versus 1080p, compressed textures, 30fps console versions.
But no.. you can’t read, right ? !
some of you guys are so retarded, always criticizing others, always hating others, we actually feel pity for you.
It wont miss you or your money
What exactly do you play if anything? What is your perfect game that you havent buried in tired internet tropes and b*tching?
I can see your reply now, “Youre just a “s.j.w and big evil corps are….” etc etc). You sound ridiculous.
1. The game needs the internet to function. This can’t exist without it.
2. You should be on Windows 10 by now, if for nothing else security reasons.
3. You never owned your games to begin with. Ever.
“3.” is factually incorrect because you can install any of the non-online-only games at any time at any place and it will work – no matter what EULA says. But with MSFS you can’t. The moment they shut down the servers – you will NEVER be able to play the game. NEVER.
Uh, exactly matters what the Eula says. The fact that the Eula exists means you don’t own it.
Installing off line doesn’t change that.
It is law. Literally.
Reverse engineering and “backups” for personal use (roms, emulators etc)is not illegal in many countries. BTW Sony/Nintendo tried several times to shut down specific emulators in 80s, 90s 2000s and they failed EVERY DAMN TIME!!!!
BTW not to mention how copyrights dont last forever……
So………….
“What this basically means is that the final version may look even better. “. very optimistic. mostly likely not going to be the case. most games that share beautiful screenshots before release, usually get downgraded a lot.
Hopefully Asobo Studio can proof otherwise, and deliver an absolutely stunning visual experience.
doubt they will downgrade TrueSky though
They probably took these screenshots running a version of the game that gives 5fps LOL, pc gaming and its gimmicks
These shots are from users in the closed Beta.
I hope you like your collection of plastic boxes. I enjoy games, personally.
Not sure if I want to buy a time-limited subscription to play this.
Holy hell this looks nice. Makes me wish GTA was this huge XD.
Holy f*k this looks nice. Makes me wish GTA was this huge XD.
Holy shiiiii.. GODLIKE!!.. RAMPAGE!!!
Holy shiiiii… RAMPAGE!!!…GODLIKE!!… I will likely watch a walkthrough of this game when released. No way will I be able to run it or the bandwidth needed.
I removed the ugly compression and the blatant watermarks and increased the resolution to 2560×1440 on two of the most impressive photos for everyone’s viewing pleasure:

Once you get the game, how long are you going to stay excited about watching slow moving landscapes? Commercial flights are quite boring. I suspect the novelty/wow factor will wear out rather quickly for most people.
I want this game to support mods. Imagine driving a car like Ferrari in streets of Dubai or a truck making deliveries . It would be the best Truck simulator 😀
