    There is no doubt about whether Microsoft Flight Simulator was able to continue the famous series with dignity: many of the technologies used in MSFS, we generally meet for the first time in games, and from a technological point of view, this is a clear breakthrough.

    I love it how the developers are working on the Flight Sim.
    With the newest update it became better framerates so my 2080ti and 3800x can run with 60fps now on 1440p.
    The devs are implementing new things for free, the community builds more and more realistic airplanes or other stuff. Best words for this is - breathtaking beauty. Sure , you have to learn and play the tutorials before

    TL:DR, this is just a sandbox game. It doesn’t feature a campaign like American Truck Simulator.

    Let's start off my saying, I'm not an expert but I do have a Thrustmaster T.16000M HOTAS. I bought this HOTAS for Star Citizen, but since that game just likes to randomly have server crashes, I went "eh" and stopped playing it until further notice. At first, this game wasn’t on Steam until
    TL:DR, this is just a sandbox game. It doesn’t feature a campaign like American Truck Simulator.

    Let's start off my saying, I'm not an expert but I do have a Thrustmaster T.16000M HOTAS. I bought this HOTAS for Star Citizen, but since that game just likes to randomly have server crashes, I went "eh" and stopped playing it until further notice. At first, this game wasn’t on Steam until near release (I thought it would be a Microsoft Store Exclusive) and I wanted to fly, so I bought this game... and holy sh*t. This game is gorgeous.

    Aircraft

    I personally wish we had more more that did more than just land on airports. I wish we had some variants of the Pipers. Fly one with skies to land on snow or one with floats land on water. Or even to add onto that, maybe the Grumman G-44 Widgeon.

    Due note that this game doesn’t feature a Progression system so all Deluxe and Premium aircraft are locked behind those tiers, sadly because a lack of a campaign you can’t earn these aircraft by any means if you have the Standard version, you have to upgrade your game version.

    If you want the full Bush flying experience I suggest you wait for “Deadstick - Bush Flight Simulator” (also on Steam) some of the areas in Flight Simulator are “eh.” The graphics aren’t on par since with Deadstick since areas generated by AI rather than created by an actual a human so textures are muddy and don’t immerse you.

    I don’t know what Asobo Studio will do in the future in-regards to newer content. I sense this will be like Train Simulator where new planes and content will be put into standalone optional DLC.

    Other

    The weather is crazy in this game, you can either customize it to your own liking or get real-time weather of what you would see in that city right now. You can even experience hurricanes that happen in real-time. The wind is pretty dynamic and realistic, trying to land in heavy wind is quite the experience. Friends? It’s a shared game between Xbox and PC players. You can of course play not with any players or play with players something like in Sea of Thieves where you can come across people randomly.

    Overview

    Is it worth $60 right now? It’s debatable. It’s a great base game, very gorgeous in most of the areas that have the base airports listed on the page, non-airports listed on that page are bare and lack detail. At $60 it needs a lot more content with this price point because right now it’s just a sandbox.

    Uno de los mejores simuladores sin dudas, tiene tiempos de cargas largos, pero es entendible por la cantidad de datos que tiene que estar cargando, fuera de eso, en mi caso no ha funcionado mal, para los que dicen que el piso esta mal hecho, es porque es un simulador de VUELOS, no un simulador de autos o algun otro que necesite tener buenos graficos en ese apartado

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is amazing. You can travel across the WHOLE WORLD with a great selection of planes. The world itself is VERY detailed, it’s a technical marvel streaming 2 petabytes of satellite data, not to mention, the live weather effects, day cycles, live air traffic. The high end PC requirements are totally justified, u do need a decent pc to run this well.

    What I don’t get is people calling this game a “cash grab” and a “rip-off”, sure the premium and deluxe editions are a lot more expensive, but it kinda makes sense considering it’s on Game Pass, in which the first month is £1.

    This game isn’t perfect however, as some cities like London for example don’t look as realistic eg Buckingham palace looks like an office building however Microsoft has said that this sim will last 5-10 years so I do think that these issues will be ironed out. Also the addition of a 3rd party marketplace allows for extra content, meaning more planes and airports can be added in game.

    Overall, I think this game is revolutionary, and I think it deserves a 10/10.

    Such an amazing start of the new era of Flight Simulation!

    I have been flying most flight simulations on the PC since the 80:ies (and real planes since then as well). And this is the most revolutionary sim I have ever tried. The graphics are mind blowing, and I have viewed a lot of YT videos the last year so I thought I was prepared. But when I loaded up my home airfield (a small grass strip in a small Swedish town) I was still sitting there with my mouth open. After take off it was like I was flying there for real. Almost everything looked as it should. The beautiful lakes with the sun glittering, the rolling forests with the exact right hue, fields and small dirt roads where they should be. I could navigate VFR exactly like IRL and immediately found the house I grew up in, my old schools, the football yard where we used to play etc. And even though the autogen buildings where not the correct ones they where exactly where they should be. Coming in to land in the circuit it was like flying for real - the same places below you where you turn in on the final and bam - right on the final with the field dead ahead. Looking as it should. And with completely fluid FPS even though it looks like an image from the real world.

    And this is day one. Just imagine in a year with all third party aircraft, mods etc...

    I have done the same routine in FSX/X-Plane/P3D etc over the years and you can't even recognize that it is Sweden you are flying over.

    There is simply no piece of media that exists on this planet that does what this game does. It truly is special, and I've never even used a flight sim before. Play it for the funny ATC, or the technical challenge of flying, or just use it to unwind at the end of the day. The views you get will often be jaw-dropping. And with such a large game launch, the community will be thriving for years and years to come!

    Cumple con todos los requisitos que necesita un simulador. El apartado gráfico simplemente bellísimo; el único error acá es la optimización y la descarga del juego. Fuera de eso es un 10/10

    First the negatives: The installation was a many hour nightmare and the game is still very buggy in some important areas (like the autopilot) and glitchy in others (wrong textures at times. There is also an issue, that the installation time from the launcher counts as playtime, so Steam users aren't able to refund their game atm.

There is also an issue, that the installation time from the launcher counts as playtime, so Steam users aren't able to refund their game atm.
    The game is also absolutely packed with ridiculously expensive micro-transaction, so if you want to have quality sights in London you need to buy the 14,99 London City Scape expansion. A small prop plane costs 29,99 in the store, etc....it's pretty disgusting. In general the pricing model is one of my biggest issues with the game and just reeks of Games as a Service, typical Microsoft style. The 70,- version is also gimped, with some more detailed airports only in the 120,- Premium package. Again, really ugly. If you hate stuff like that, avoid it!

    The praised tech "showing the whole world" is mostly great, but can look ugly in lower populated areas. Even big European cities like Frankfurt look nothing like the real thing. Other areas have gotten much more love and polish.

    The loading times are also really bad, even with an SSD.

    Now to the positives, at least from my brief 12 hours of playtime so far: The graphics in general are amazing, even though not in all areas, but it's still an achievement. The planes handle very realistically and from the influence of wind to weather in general, one can notice a huge improvement from older Flight Sims in the series.

    It's a very relaxing thing and I can definitely recommend checking it out on Gamepass first. It can become quite boring though, if you're more of a gamer and less of a sim/plane enthusiast.

    I am a bit surprised the numerous bugs and glitches didn't get reflected in most of the reviews, but in today's state I think I can rate this an 8.

    If you are a sim enthusiast make it a 9, 1 point less only for the ugly in-game store. I would take away more points, but what is delivered is still very good and it wouldn't feel right to give it a 7.

    The negative reviews are just complaints from people who can't run the game properly. This is an absolute marvel of technology, and a base to make the most incredible representation of the world ever put to code.

    That said, you'll need a beefy rig to run this well. I have a Threadripper 1920X and a 1080ti and This game will chug at 4k high-end settings.

    También he dado con uno de los simuladores con el despliegue de medios mas bestia visto hasta la fecha. Asobo ha aprovechado muy bien todo el arsenal tecnológico que Microsoft ha podido dar, que no es poco.
    Es cierto que requiere de un PC de la NASA para correrlo a máxima calidad, y aún así

    Es cierto que requiere de un PC de la NASA para correrlo a máxima calidad, y aún así a veces, en según que equipos puede haber alguna caida de frames depende donde vueles. Pero esto poco a poco debería desaparecer, para eso están los parches.
    Aún así, solo con la sensación poder pilotar un avión y aprender a hacerlo poco a poco es suficiente.
    Recuerdo que, lo dice en el título, es un SIMULADOR de vuelo y no le puede gustar a todo el mundo. Ya lo dice la frase, para gustos colores. Pero no es necesario venir a dejar mala nota solo por odio a cierta compañia. Solo ve a jugar algo que te guste más y punto. No pierdas el tiempo.

    Asobo, grácias.

    First of all - this is not a game, this is an old school simulator. It's not that hyper realistic as for example X-Plane, but it's close enough. It's main draw is very realistic terrain, you can really navigate by terrain if you know it. For me this is very relaxing experience and I'm really big fan of it.

    Of course you need quite a beefy hardware to run it properly, especially in big

    Of course you need quite a beefy hardware to run it properly, especially in big cities. But I wouldn't say it's badly optimised. You just need to know how to set it up properly. It's designed for years to come, so it's really good that you can scale up the graphics while new hardware arrives.
    So don't read comments from all those whiny kids that are easily bored, let them play their Call Of Duty's...

    It’s not just a game, it’s a phenomenon. It lets you explore literally the whole planet – cities, mountains, lakes, rivers, even my house was there – from the cockpits of 20-30 (depends on the version of the game) airplanes. Flying experiences are also great and vary from machine to machine. I’m sure I’ll be returning to MFS for years to come. [11/2020, p.38]

    When all is said and done, Microsoft Flight Simulator in its current state reminds me a lot of Sea of Thieves shortly after launch. The game has a lot of promise and a lot of potential, but it is marred by a number of issues that keep it from really shining. Once the issues have been worked out in six months or a year from now, I fully expect Microsoft Flight Simulator to be a must-have title. Right now, unless you are a hardcore flight sim fanatic, I would pass on buying the premium version and just stick to playing the basic version that's included with GamePass.
