Based on the benchmarks I've seen, Series X should be able to run the game at 4K 30fps with a mix of ultra and high settings, which is just fine for me, I don't need 60 fps in a game where the world seems to move slowly due to how high up you are when flying most of the time. |
The problem is, people on the flightsim forums want what's shown in the official trailers back as well. It hasn't looked like that since (pre-)release. You did need a very beefy PC to run it as shown in the trailers, and it does run faster now, yet the visuals have taken a huge hit in the process.
This is a sample from right now

Some kinks is a bit of an understatement, it wasn't ready for release. I feel for Asobo, such an amazingly ambitious project, yet it had to get out of the door before it was finished. Now it seems they're making knee jerk patches that break more than they fix. One of the problems of an always online game, you can't decline patches or revert to an older version :/
