    I've loved flight simulation for many years. This one is a surprise update to the last version, FSX. Fantastic graphics, updated world map and just an overall terrific product.

    The realism of this game is awesome. The terrain that you fly over is mapped all over the world by Google Earth so it is accurate anywhere you fly.

    Wow!! I have always loved Microsoft Flight Simulatore and when MS announced a new version I had to get it. It is fantastic. I have just started the game, but I am very happy and impressed. I was happy that this version can be played on my Xbox Series X and/or my PC. The PC download is big too, so be prepared.

    Got the Premium Deluxe version for $104.99, not a bad deal. Email delivery of the code got lost somewhere in the cyber space, had to contact Best Buy support to resend it. They were very helpful, friendly, and re-sent the email right away. Good experience! The game/sim is great! It definitely needs some serious PC power to make it run well, but it only gets better as we keep seeing more powerful video cards hit the market. I'm excited for the present and for the future of PCs!

    Airbus was a let down

    Works well in normal flight sim fashion, but I was expecting more from the Airbus. Most switches aren’t able to be used. I thought this being the flagship aircraft, it would be very close to the real thing. For everyone else, I’m sure it wouldn’t be a big deal.
