"The Call of Duty of Flight Sims" 
He probably tried to play DCS with his keyboard.

With X65 and a high-quality clip, you scrub.
The DCS sim is commonly known as a cockpit simulator.

What the fuck do I care. Play War Thunder or whatever, if this is more for you.
The most fun I ever had in Microsoft flight sim(and the last time I played one of them) was in MSF 2004, flying the DC-3 on jobs around South America. If this lets me do that and isn't consolised to death then I'll probably buy it. Even better if I can do it with a friend, a bit like Euro Truck Simulator.

Hace El Oso FS2020 will not have ETS inbuilt but for that there is FSEconomy

Hm, this is shaping up to be the game I might upgrade my PC for at last.

One area that is indeed impressive is the buildings. Compared to X-Planes Legoland it's a jump of 15 years.
Do you mean it will be adapted for FS2020?

Tbh it looks like the old FSEconomy will be shut down soon due to a hacker problem, but I think it would normally reemerge in the future and support FS2020.
It's too early to tell now because we don't know if FS will support it (but I think it will).

Wait until it come out.
I usually end up spending several hundred $ per flight sim, but in terms of time per investment it is a good deal.

I got to say I am excited for this. I might actually upgrade my not-so-modern-but-still-good-enough PC to play it in all its glory.

But you will need Windows 10 and a Microsoft account for that

Is this a joke?
The two images look completely different, the landclass files must be from a random generator. Absolutely nothing matches reality.
There are already many addons for flight sims that have landclass and OSM files where theoretically every house is at the exact place (https://simheaven.com/simdownloads/x-europe-4/). If the above is an indication of the quality in MSFS 2020, it will be purely Autogen which was state of the art ca 20 years app. Someone who uses those images to advertise FS2020 must be completely clueless about what is current state of the art in the flight sim business.

That would be me. I just like what I see.

Well, they have DirectX 12 and considerable resources. So it will look better than most flight sims from a graphical standpoint for sure. I sometimes see screenshots MSFS 2020 that blow me away, and other times they look worse than the flight sim that I already play. From what I have seen the MSFS world will not be of consistently high quality that they like to show in their ads, and it could piss off some people.

It looks like a "upgrade your shitty computer" game. My kid is crazy about this shit and looks forward to it but Im not sure if the current setup I got will be enough.

It will run on the X-Box, so I think a medium-tier PC will do, but constantly need to download the data from the internet. If you let your kid play this all day you can say good-bye to your bandwidth.
Also kids these days play flight sims? Is your son a little genius? Otherwise he will play it for 1 evening and then say it's too hard.

Has your kid got DCS? Worth a shot in the meantime. MS Flight Sim probably has a low settings which will work on a weak pc, but you could see if he likes it. If he gets hooked, save for an upgrade or new pc. Always go desktop, laptops are for people on the go, not gaming.
The kid is crazy about planes. Kodexian IQ levels. Even took him to try out some simulators, think one in Västerås cost me like close to 200 euros for half an hour to sit with a real pilot. Dont think he tried DCS.
He got this app on his phone where he does all the check up before take off in Flight Simulator. Takes like 45 minutes before he even lifts off.
He got good grades so its hard to deny him shit he likes. So I'll probably upgrade if needed.
Thing about Xbox version means that you need to play with a gamepad. Doubt that the flightstick will work on X unless they make one.

The recommended specs aren't that outrageous. For example a GTX 970 won't cost much these days off ebay. Unless you have a real potato it shouldn't be too bad. Think of the enjoyment your boy will get.
