My personal perspective on flight sims on Stadia is that I would be very surprised if we saw any of the more advanced flight sims appear.  The reason primarily being that it would be very difficult to provide an accurate flight simulation along the lines of Microsoft's, or even something such as Digital Combat Simulator / DCS World (my favourite) and still provide users the ability to play via CCU or a phone/tablet.   These types of games lend themselves very much to more than just a typical game controller.  They tend to be geared more towards HOTAS controllers, rudder pedals and other peripherals inc. VR headsets and/or head motion 6DF TrackIR type of devices. Of course, more arcade style flight simulation games could make it over, it would depend really on what the target audience was going to be.  Unless we were to start seeing titles that really are only intended to be played on just Chrome with a range of PC peripherals, which goes against the concept of Stadia and the play anywhere approach. Just my thoughts.

@Lanister97  Not to the Chromecast, but there are a bunch that are supported via Chrome on PC (not sure about Linux running Chrome though). I did a post a long time ago about some devices that were supported, but I've not kept uptodate on latest peripherals supported. https://community.stadia.com/t5/Stadia-General/Any-news-about-racing-sim-on-stadia-and-wheel-support/m-p/10728#M5021

@Dare : I agree with a lot of what you are saying, although it is very difficult to identify when Google is just plain messing about with their infrastructure.  The support guys have absolutely no clue about what is or isn't happening on the Google network that might be causing interference with the experience that a user might be expecting.  Typically, every new game release on day one sucks for me.  Extreme lag and all manner of performance issues and hiccups.  Switch to another title and issue is gone, switch back to newly purchased title..it sucks again.   Wait a day or two, everything runs fine again. Just something that I've just got accustomed to with Stadia because I've wasted too much time going back and forth with support and getting absolutely nowhere.

@ImTheDoctor  Sounds like a broken feature in the game, raise a case via the publishers support forum is usually the first step that is recommended, follow that up with a case with Stadia support (although they tend to redirect game issues back to the publisher again from past experience). However, past performance from different publishers on issues of this nature have been pretty **bleep** slow imho.

@Jayjayboy17  Not an issue I've encountered yet.  Might be worthwhile raising this on the Codemasters forum for GRID.  They've been responsive in the past when issues were reported early on in Stadia when GRID would crash out due to a bug.

@AD5678  Some things to try 1. Reset Chrome flags - go to the URL chrome://flags , select "Reset all to default", restart Chrome and try again. 2. Run Chrome and use an Incognito window and see if that helps, disable any extensions that might have been added. 3. Reduce refresh rate on mouse pointer (usually a feature on some mouse drivers). 4. Access Chrome flags and enable the feature "Enables pointer lock options". If you have a Logitech mouse attached, then improvements have been reported by reducing the polling rate feature of the mouse driver too.

@Bazzu85 : Based on your report I just did a 3 lap race to see if I was encountering any issues with GRID on Chrome with a wireless Xbox 360 controller.  No problems whatsoever, I'm running on the latest Chrome build ( 81.0.4044.113), and ProjectStream speed report of 487.943 Mbps, speedtest reports 550.63 Mbps, although I'm UK based rather than Italy. Personally, I'd raise the issue with Stadia support so that they are at least aware of your issue in your region, it could be something caused by ongoing work on the Stadia infrastructure, or it could be something associated with your setup?  Hard to know for sure unless you have more machines to test against to see if you get any differences in behaviour etc.   Probably in the short term better to just raise the issue with the Stadia folks and see if the issue is resolved later on today/tomorrow.

I have to admit that I'm still using a Logitech G9x wired laser and have been for many many years, they just seem to keep going.  I've also been using Nova's Killer mouse pad for just as long as I can remember and that has a truly great surface for laser mice and low friction. I also use a G13 keypad too, I never really liked the G15 keyboard so I'm still bouncing between 4 keyboards that I've used for gaming but still have yet to find one that really ticks all the boxes for me.

@ARGAH  Maybe it is just some work going on on their network that is hitting your path to the Stadia servers.  My recommendation would be to give it a day and see if things improve or not, make sure to send any game feedback surveys you get, and then raise the issue with Stadia support if it hasn't been resolved. If you've had good quality before and then it goes belly up with no noticeable change on your side of things it really should be up for Google to investigate further imho.
@ARGAH Out of curisoty, what values do you get for London if you go to the website gcping.com

@ARGAH : No issues with performance to report from the UK, I'm only 60km from London not sure if that has anything to do  with it or not.  Project Stream reports 483Mbps which is down from a typical 500Mbps value, gcping reports latency of 24ms to my nearest Google hub (London) and that is consistent with values that I've regularly seen. Other tools like speedtest and fast are both reporting download speeds in excess of 500Mbs. For me currently the Chrome experience has been good, there were some issues with Trials Rising a few days back but that was just the rollout of the Easter update and the Ubi servers rejecting server requests which has since been resolved.   No issues to report on CCU either currently.

@28061  Things to check. Make sure that your bank/credit card company are not blocking the transaction.  I've had my UK bank block regular transactions many times over the years for no good reason whatsoever.  Usually I get an automated phone call to confirm that the attempted transaction was genuine and to repeat the process once I've confirmed that it is OK.  How this works with other banks is an unknown, but that at least should be your first point of contact. If your bank/credit card company isn't blocking the transaction and can confirm that the transaction request isn't even getting through to them, then you should contact Google and explain the situation to them. Out of curiosity, what country is your Google account tied to and does that match with the country that you are playing Stadia in and also the country associated with your credit card?

@Kaliefiznogoud  If all you want to do is purchase a Stadia controller  https://store.google.com/product/stadia_controller , then you would just need to use one of the supported payment methods for Google Store in the Netherlands. I don't know what supported payment options there are in Holland, but I would suspect that Paypal is a supported option?

@cqs  Try again later and see if the issue has resolved itself (could be stuff being done on the Google infrastructure that has caused this issue for you).  If still no luck, try a restart of home router and see if that makes any improvement.  If not, reach out to support and raise the issue with them, explain that it was working successfully before, and that you have tried restarting your own side of things, Google stream reports good speeds etc. and see if support can investigate further.

@TekoRaiK  There must be more to it than just that, as I have an NVidia graphics card and my pointer lock options are still at default setting (whatever that is), my Logitech G9x mouse is running with default settings, I've not enabled/disabled anything there.  No problems with running Stadia on Win10 Pro since launch.  I recently replaced my startup drive with an SSD and did a complete reinstall of Win10 again, and reinstalled Chrome and so forth, no problems encountered again.

@Tobonaut  Not an issue that I'm encountering or have encountered recently for a while at least.  Although I'm in the UK and running with a reported speed of 515Mbps with Google's project stream speedtest https://projectstream.google.com/speedtest  I might also suggest checking gcping.com and see what kind of latency you are getting to the Google's regional hubs.   I usually get around the 20-25ms to the nearest London hub,  That doesn't mean to say that everything should be good for all users.  Some things I've seen since launch happen are: 1. Sometimes Google is doing stuff on their network and that has an impact on performance for users, sometimes it is associated with a few titles but not all titles, I guess it depends on where in the n/w changes are taking place. 2. In cases such as above, the issue typically is resolved after a few hours or a day at most.  If the issue still isn't resolved after a day then escalate it to support and provide them with whatever information that they require.  Also make sure to complete any survey that you get prompted with after finishing a game. 3.  If lag has been an issue from day one and has never been resolved, chances are that it is more likely to be an issue local to the user rather than a Google issue (although of course it could be an issue on the Google side, just less likely imho).  Things to look at with regards to crappy Chrome performance are: Do you get the same issue with Chromecast Ultra performance.  If you get good performance on CCU and bad on Chrome then probably more reason to think that Chrome is the area to look at. Reset Chrome flags - go to the URL chrome://flags , select "Reset all to default", restart Chrome and try again. Run Chrome and use an Incognito window and see if that helps, disable any extensions that might have been added. Reduce refresh rate on mouse pointer (usually a feature on some mouse drivers). Access Chrome flags and enable the feature "Enables pointer lock options". On Windows 8 run Chrome in Windows 7 compatibility mode.  Black screen on Chrome, try: Chrome flags and set Hardware accelerated video decode to Disabled. Try using Chrome Canary instead and see if that resolves any issues

@ItsDoc  Code is sent via email to the account that purchased the bundle usually around the time of delivery.  Check spam folders to see if it is buried somewhere.  Failing that, you can contact support and provide then with your order number (you can find that on Google Store if you don't have the original details to hand, and you will also need to supply them with the serial number of your Chromecast Ultra.
