I absolutely love this game. It takes a lot of horsepower on a PC, but even at 10fps on a 2018 gaming PC it's so realistic and a fun way to tour the world. I like it so much I bought a $299 XBOX Series S to play it on at 30fps - game license makes it available for no extra cost on PC AND XBOX. Very nice, Microsoft.

VERY realistic. (I am a retired pro pilot with 7000+ hours).
Difficult to get it up and running, though, and long updates when fairly new.
Microsoft would not accept my CORRECT password, last time.
A REAL BARGAIN!

This game is amazing. You can fly all over the planet. The graphics look real. It has tutorials to teach you how to fly. I bought a flight stick just for it. I also hear Microsoft will come out with lots of updates over the next few years for it.

Best geography/tour tool ever

This game is a technical miracle. You can literally fly anywhere at time you like. I use it as a little geography tour tool for the kids so I can't comment on how good the simulation it is, but the fact that you can have a 3D tour anywhere in the world is enough for me to pay the price.

This game is amazing. The graphics are super realistic and the aerodynamics of the planes (especially the general aviation ones) are incredibly accurate. Performance runs good without any major lag spikes.
Installation utilizing the Best Buy redemption code was flawless and easy.

Bought it on a deal of the day pricing. Digital delivery of the activation code was fast. You'll end up downloading 100s of GB of data and software after the first install. Can't play without downloading all the updates, which could be a while based on your connection speed. Improved simulation, almost life-like.

Rather messy installation when purchased electronically. Not sure which company is the problem. Microsoft surely does not provide much assistance, all via robots and going thru circles and catch 22.
Product itself works differently between aircraft model.
One must want to play with a flight simulator, otherwise forget it. Too messy
