This is more than a game, it's an invigorating simulation that keeps you glued to your seat, submerged into the information your instruments are reflecting, and reactions to the varied weather conditions, to make that perfect landing. Satellite perspectives make it even more realistic.

Such an amazing game. Ive played for hours on end. Great job microsoft.

I have been trying for hours and hours to run this game with no use. It keeps asking me to insert disk. This is a digital download. My computer is powerful enough to run it. I read every blog online since I can’t get anything from Microsoft since they don’t have a help line. I have been waiting for this game for so many years. Please Help. Anyone.

As a long time Microsoft Flight Simulator user I had to get this one. The graphics and features are amazing. The rendered earthing is mind-blowing. I can see my own house / town clearly. The interface and load times take some getting used to. For those familiar with the interface of older versions, this version is nothing like it..at all. Think Xbox game interface now. Also, switching aircraft while in flight is no longer possible it seems. I use an HP Z440 workstation with RAID 0 drives and 32GB ram and Nvidia Quadro M2000 video card. LOAD TIMES: I use the product way less than I did previous versions. Why? Load times are very long. From when the app is started to when you're read to fly can take at least 15 minutes or more. FRAME RATE: When resolution is set to 4K, the frame rates I get are not good...enough. I usually use 1080 for smoother frame rates. CONTROLLER: Plan on buying a newer compatible controller or spending LOTS of time tediously setting up your old controller. PROBLEMS: There is a camera mode called "smart camera". When I switch to this camera mode, ALL functions of my flight stick cease to work. DELUXE EDITION: I spent the extra money for the deluxe edition for the additional airports etc. I've used the product so little that I've seen no benefit from the extra money spent on the deluxe version. XBOX: I'm eagerly awaiting the release of the Xbox version which is included with the PC version purchase. Hoping for better 4K performance from the Xbox 1X console version. RECOMMENDED? Only if you've got a super-powerful system to get smooth frame rates at 4K

I bought this flight simulator not to control it myself, but to simply watch the A.I. fly the planes. I enjoy watching it, this simulator makes me feel like I’m a passenger on a real flight. The sound of the Airbus 320 engine is so smooth I even sometimes fall asleep on long flight out of the country. The graphics are beautiful also, I’d definitely recommend this simulator to anyone who wants to smiply watch the planes fly or manually control the jets themselves you’ll really enjoy it.
