After spending a couple of days frustrated, scratching away the last hairs on my head with endless crashes to desktop and whatnot I finally got the sim working. I tested a tip by somebody else and removed overclocking of the RAM, the xmp setting, and defaulted it. Also switched keyboard and mouse and got rid of everything else connected via usb. And voila.
Anyway. After flying an hour along Portugal’s coast and interior I am actually stunned. I’ve never seen any sim coming as close to the real thing as this. It actually feels like flying. The views are spectacular and the immersion is just fantastic. I get the feeling there are still adjustments to be made to planes and whatnot, but wow this is a great start.

I agree had a lot issues at the start, but now up and running with good FPS (most the time). Other than tweaking graphics settings my single biggest change was to enable hyper-threading
. Is it perfect no but than it took years for FSX to get things right (well mostly)…
For now I’m just enjoying flying around looking at all the sites, even found my home and landed a Cub in the field LOL

hi, so you back to xmp default or disable xmp?
Hmmmmm, you are describing this game as a scenery viewer.
I can use Google Earth for that.
Pretty is about all it is!

Glad you got it running - for all of us, regardless of our various systems specs, that was the first major hurdle we all had to negotiate our way past.
I use only an XBox1 controller (and obviously k/mouse for very occasional keystrokes). I do have a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick, but I quickly discovered the XBox1 controller k/m combo has me covered for everything.
The fact that MSFS 2020 works very well with the XBox1 controller - ‘out of the box’ as it were - tells me a lot about how console-ready this entire project is. I mean, just about the entire GUI is navigable with just the XBox1 controller - you don’t even need the k/m to do any of that. That’s interesting. Perhaps an XBox1X release is much closer than I might have imagined!

I am loving this sim. For me it performs well and looks great and has lots of room for growth, which I am looking forward to.

There’s just two options in Bios for me, either it’s using the xmp profile or not. So I switched it off. I can’t really say for sure that it fixed, it could be the usb changes I made too. But worth a try for sure.
it worth only if frequency/bandwidth too high for cache/cpu spec, if not, it can be big downgrade for cpu hungry apps, and even if it help it can coast performance… i was almost sure you overclocked xmp profile, as xmp is even not overclock it same native frequency if motherboard/cpu handle this memory profile, some time the memory even official support by mobo vendor, as in my case, but this is no mandatory… in any way, imho it unacceptable if xmp work and tested in heavy games, like crysis 3 or far cry 5 or something modern(have no one 
except sniper ghost warrior 3&contracts)… as i found most of problem with good pc/ultra settings, and nothing surprise about it, as i seen so figures as 48gb commit charge 20gb ram and 10+gb video memory allocated, so must be that why this simulator looks so good, but crash good too… for me disable xmp is not resolution and this is certainly clear
Game no Sim yes…Try and enjoy flying a plane around on google earth!!
It sure feels like a sim to me. I used Fsx for many years but it didn’t come close to this.

Yep, I got it and had a frustrating day, getting to grips with setting up the X52, and kbd shortcuts the way i like them. In reality though, nothing more than I had to do with FSX. I have been using Xplane 11 since FSX was shelved, and have toi say, this version of FS is definitely the best I have EVER played. - I was one of the original players back in the 80s who had the Bruce Artwick version. I have gone through most simulators over the years, in fact all of the Microsoft ones. Once I had this up and going, I felt at home with it very quickly. Great job guys, amazing piece of work.

and this one have unic perspective, if that wasn’t seem so why a2a create aerostar for that “nosim”?

I did find the A320 was very easy, but I nornally do a full cold and dark start with a study level A320 on Xplane. So when much of the overhead panel didnt work, i just kicked ont he APU bleed and power, and on with the engines. I think the only thing that was working was the fuel pumps, and crossfeed. The hydraulics, air packs, nav alignment etc were not functional. - but to be fair, its not a study level aircraft.
Aerostar? Is it in the sim already now or coming later?
a2a working on it
actually this is not my type of ac, i love fighters and aerobatic/sport (speed high-g design), but this is very good if not very best sign, as pmdg too working for new models for this “nosim”
