So I got into the game, quite quickly tonight. After doing a couple of PPL lessons to get into it, I tried a free flight in the 737 Max. Very mixed reviews:

The good: The aircraft both inside and out look great. The pre-flight inspection is a nice feature and adds a sense of realism. The renderings in the flight deck look good and the EFB contains the relevant checklists to help get started. Overall, the model flew well, handled well and there weren't any buffering problems.

The not so good: Just look at the picture at the airport (KMCO). Other aircraft didn't render properly (see the Spirit behind) and jetways just randomly flew into the air, back down and back up again. The AI voices are really terrible but not the end of the world. However...for whatever reason, there was ZERO sound with the 737 Max. No engine sounds, no cabin sounds, absolutely nothing. I'm assuming it's a bug at this stage but it was really surprising that something so obvious was missing.

I'll give it another go at the weekend but at the moment, it's clear that the game and servers need time. Though you'd hope that for £129 they might have been in a better state of readiness....
