    Bought this for my 12 year old son. He loves it and the graphics are so real. Better when you also purchase a yoke.

      Hi there,

      We're thrilled that your son loves playing Microsoft Flight Simulator! Getting a yoke to go with it is an excellent suggestion, especially if you're looking for an authentic flying experience. Thank you for sharing his experience!

      Happy flying,

    Microsoft Flight Simulator is a great game but its very slow and you need a super fast computer with alot of hard drive space to run this properly.

    The purchase for pc went smoothly. I received my code very quickly and used the link to redeem at the Microsoft store. The Sim is Beautiful to behold as long as your computer is up to it. Remember to update all drivers before playing! Downloading the game and updates will take some time- overnight in my case.

    AVOID!!!! Using the PC version and it crashes EVERY time after just 10 minutes or so of flight. It crashes using multiple different controllers and even in "Safe" Mode. This problems has been in placed since the game was released. Asked Microsoft and the developer for help, but nothing but crickets. You would think a sim that is almost 2 years old would have solved this problem. I wish I could get a refund. So BUYER BEWARE!
