I wish they would fix the fuel guage issue. There are also a couple of bush flights that cant be finished due to landing on abandoned airstrips, or locations in the middle of buildings. It also dont have the selection of planes in the older version.

This is a very complex and comprehensive flight SIMULATOR. It's in caps...because this is Not a 'game' for kids. If you are serious about learning to fly a real plane, this simulator will allow you to learn a lot about aviation, BUT....you will have to watch a lot of YouTube videos to learn the fine details of how the simulator works, and the aviation concepts that you need to learn. If you are an ,aviation enthusiast...then this IS for you. It is a great learning tool, and fun too if you understand that it's a simulator and not just a 'game. I run it on a PC, I5 processor and it runs fine. It's a 137Gig download. While I am not a licensed pilot, I do have many hours in the right seat of a real Cessna, and using this simulator and it's earlier versions, has given me a great headstart in my ability to actually fly a plane. I docked it one star because there really are no instructions and the menus and use are NOT intuitive. Again...look for YouTube videos for explanations.

I purchased an Xbox S specifically for running this game. I used to own MS FS prior to the year 2000, and I was very intrigued when this version came out. FS 2020 lives up to the hype--it does an excellent job as a true-to-life simulator. If there are weaknesses, it would be that the included basic flight training lessons could be more detailed. The lessons are good, but short, with most of them coming in at around 5 to 10 minutes. There could have been more of them included with greater variety, for instance with some training for turbo-prop aircraft, too. As it happens, though, there are third-party sim pilot lessons available within the game's internal "Marketplace" store which look to be pretty good, too. I am not generally a MicroSoft fan, but this simulator is very well done, and the team that designed it did a great job. It is everything that my previous experience led me to expect. While I have not compared it with X-Plane, FS 2020 on Xbox S performs adequately for me in every way, even if the console controller is a bit limiting and the true-to-life scenery lags in loading a bit. The flight realism does not lag in my experience.

Just love this game. The visuals are amazing. Gameplay & flight physics are on point. Only gripe was it would not able to install on an NvMe drive. Tried every trick from every message forum. Works very well on Samsung 860 SSD

This game is great, I love how accurate it is to real life. I didnt expect this game to be so picture perfect to what it was like to fly a plane, and im amazed, my only issue is that I want to fly long distances, but I dont know how to make time go faster, but thats just a me thing. Otherwise , the game rates at about 89/100

I have always a good flight simulator and this fits the bill. So far, I have only used it on my gaming PC but it works great as long as you use an external controller. I use the one from my Xbox. It was a bit difficult to setup the digital version using Xbox for PC but it eventually worked.

Bought this for the Series X, and while i enjoy it i think it is more designed for PC gamers.

Microsoft has done an excellent job on this amazing simulator. I have not touched Flight Simulator since Windows 98. This one on Xbox is leaps and bounds ahead since I have played. This really showcases what the Xbox is capable of.

The game is so real. Teaches you the basics to fly the real thing.

This is even better than the last time I used flight simulator. The graphics are incredible, with a lot of attention to detail. Only problem I'm having is finding my credentials from an old computer to access the software. But otherwise it's great.

I bought this for my 11 year old who loves any type of airplane. This didn't meet his excitement, he thought he was going to love it only to barely ever play it. This would be better with actual controllers. But the cost is to great in my opinion for a single game.

Great for aviation enthusiasts. Installation is not hard but it takes a long while to get fully installed

Beware of this software. The only way to play it is with a game pass subscription. I just spent three hours online with tech support, and digital doesn't mean a download you can play on your PC. The only way to play this is to sign up for a $12 a month subscription to xbox gamepass. Microsoft was willing to refund the purchase price to a Microsoft wallet so I could buy more Microsoft software. So I'm out $60 and will be returning all the accessories I purchased to play this game. Pure theft from Microsoft and Xbox.

Heavy game for a non gaming computer. The graphics are ok,the interface is easy to understand.

Got the game to play with primary school kid who wants to be a pilot.

Great game. Really surreal and calming experience. Truly an amazing game to make you feel like a pilot.

This item worked flawlessly as expected. As usual Best Buy delivered
