Shalom and greetings all my pals, Just would like to wish Jewish Happy New Year (Rosh Hashanah) to all of Aerosoft staff members and all Aerosoft customers (pilots) Shana tova to all of you. Regards, Aharon

Agreed I think the best way is to wait until 3rd or 4th quarter of 2021 to buy laptop and MS2020. Almost one year would be enough for Microsoft to clear up any bugs such as Vatsim problems or errors such as missing airports in Alaska. Meanwhile I have plenty of high quality payware sceneries in my FSX to enjoy. Yes I am still buying FSX compatible payware sceneries. Regards, Aharon

@Mathijs Kokand @PatrickZ, Thanks for kind answers. I am afraid that replacing 256 GB SSD drive with bigger SSD drive is not option in my gaming laptop. So based on your answers, I guess I am better off buying a new laptop for MS2020 next year. I am in no hurry since ground textures in my FSX screenshots manage to fool some people into thinking it is MS2020. Ha ha ha ha ha ha Regards, Aharon

Shalom and greetings all my pals, I am blaming on everybody showing off their MS2020 screenshots to get me overexcited and get me lose my mind to think seriously about buying MS2020. I have interesting hardware requirement question. I have very powerful 2 year old MSI gaming laptop that can handle P3D or XP11 or any fancy payware airport sceneries or payware aircraft add on sceneries. But my laptop comes with 256 Gb SSD and 1 TB 7,200rpm hard drive. I know 256 GB SSD is not enough for MS2020. So will my clever trick get MS2020 work and run smoothly if I install it on external SSD drive to be connected via 3.0 UBS to laptop. I am thinking of SanDisk - Extreme 2TB External USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A/Type-C Portable Solid-State Drive Will it work or not?? Regards, Aharon

Thanks all for more explanations and more kind amusing posts :) Regards, Aharon

Thanks all for interesting explanations @Herman, I never never blame on Aerosoft. Besides I can tell difference between Bill Gates and Mathijs Kok Regards, Aharon

I never never never said it is Aerosoft's issue. I know Aerosoft has nothing to do with that. I am just merely asking here on Radio Chatter Room subforum renowned for its free intellectual discussions so that I can seek opinions and answers from any experts on my question. Thanks all for answers and please keep more answers coming. Regards, Aharon

Question for all of you: Why is Microsoft offering DVD versions of MS2020 ONLY to Europe BUT is offering ONLY download to America?? Do not want to spend 4 hours downloading!! I want to buy DVD version!! Regards, Aharon

Gonna love scene of laptop tray being unfolded and opened in cockpit. No wonder I understand why Northwest Airbus went 200 miles off course!! Too much laptop entertainment. Regards, Aharon

@kroswynd and the Aerosoft management, Thanks a zillion for your kindness and for selecting my screenshot as winner of the August screenshot contest. I was very very very fortunate to be able to scramble to press keyboard command button to activate printing of this scene at same precise moment when I after parking my C-130 plane to my amazement and surprise noticed the background view of this amazing Aerosoft generated police car chase. I was so taken aback by amazement that Aerosoft could generate police car chase in FSX that I had to immediately recover myself and scrambled to press the button to take this screenshot just just before the red car disappeared behind the trees. It was stroke of luck for me. Regards, Aharon

I disagree with @edetroit because he seems to forget that his custom made cockpit panels are something that you will never find in MS2020 or that MS2020 cannot compete with his custom made cockpit panels such as Tristar l1011 panel Regards, Aharon

When Aerosoft management ask for Aerosoft product that must be included in this months screenshot contest, I am pretty sure they would not expect to see Aerosoft GENERATED police chase at Aerosoft Anchorage X scenery. Presenting screenshot of police car chasing a red car through the airport road while I was arriving at cargo apron of Aerosoft AnchorageX

Surprised me that Bill Gates did not buy rights for all cockpit panels from Edetriot for use of MS2020!!!

Thanks for awesome answers. Regards, Aharon
