Re: Guide: How To Find Your House In Microsoft Flight Simulator For Xbox

@themightyant The way I did it was:

  • Open the menu in flight and hit the active pause option on the left.
  • Change the camera view in the camera menu to showcase (third option).
  • Close all menu boxes.

The plane will be paused in the air with no dials on screen (external camera) and you will have full control of the camera for taking screenshots.

Re: Feature: Celebrating The 15th Anniversary Of The Xbox 360

In my opinion the 360 was one of the great consoles. It just ticked all the boxes for me. Great games, great online with friends, some great unique experiences like 1 v 100 and last of all I loved a lot of what came to XBLA especially in the early days.

As for the games I hope more 360 games get added to back compat so I can finally put the 360 to rest.

Re: Xbox Game Pass Model Wouldn't Make Financial Sense For PS5, Says CEO Jim Ryan

To be honest I get where hes coming from. I do have my doubts about its sustainablility at least in the short term but i also think that £70 or realistically £60 for new games on the next gen isnt palatable either. Especially considering the current financial climate and that most games require patches day one due to various issues. Thats also not even taking into account the ever costlier season passes which are sold before a game has even released. Man the PS3 and 360 days were so much simpler and cheaper.

Got to say all this cat and mouse and general lack of info is putting me off a day 1 next gen upgrade at the moment. I understand that circumstances due to Covid are unusual and making things more complicated but I honestly just think now that both companies are taking the proverbial. Hopefully key info from both parties are released soon.
