A major update to the famous simulator comes with a bevy of beautiful upgrades to both content and technology.
Microsoft’s Flight Simulator is one of those things you have to experience before you can truly appreciate it, and not everyone will understand what’s so special about it—much like the experience of flight itself. On the surface, it might not seem like a flight simulator would be that much fun. « What, you just fly around, » doubters ask, « with no combat or conflict whatsoever? » Well, yeah. It’s a simulator, after all. Clearly enough people « get it » to make the game a massive hit, though. Microsoft says Flight Simulator was the biggest hit for Xbox Game Pass for PC to date, with over one million players. Once you play it, it’s easy to understand why. The game can be configured to be a relatively casual flight experience or a hard-core simulator, and it offers unparalleled visuals with photogrammetric terrain that can seem truly photo-realistic at times.
