    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!

    I originally purchased this for my dad but he is very happy with Flight Sim X. I had to get my own copy and it is amazing on the Samsung 85" QN90A using a 3090 graphics card. I just had to connect my PC to this TV. Now I need a yoke and pedals.

    Purchased FS Game of the Year from Best Buy. Every time I try to download or redeem, it tells me the key has already been used! Getting help from support got me nowhere, so I'm out $60 ! Will never but software downloads form Best Buy again.

    Extremely beautiful. Bought this for my dad for fathers day and got it setup for him and he loves it. Bit of a learning curve for someone who doesn't really play games but he is getting the hang of it.

      Happy flying,

  • Too expensive. The VR sucks

    I purchase this game and barely play it. When I hooked up my VR headset, Its glitchy. Works alright for a while then goes black or has major screen freezing and artifacts. Particularly when I look down at the ground. It feels like there are a lot of glitches and this game should still be in testing. A goo flight simulator is a must have but this one is not worth the full retail price.

    I have all of the minimum requirements for running this application, but it's horrible. The software began crashing as soon as I was in a middle of a flight, multiple times. In addition, now I cannot even launch the app, even as administrator as recommended. Then you face the black hole of who or where to find support. And, forget about getting a refund. So be very careful about spending this much money on this product.

    Microsoft flight sim 2020 is absolutely revolutionary. It’s incredible, and you need a beast of a PC to run it, but for $60, it’s totally worth it

    in terms of the models and world details, this is the best flight simulator. But, flight physics needs to be improved

    Very realistic. Can be enjoyed by older children and adults. Downside is the amount of storage it takes up on computer.
