    The game crashes every time, despite playing on a computer with the requirements suggested by the Microsoft, it has been impossible to play this game. Hope microsoft fixes the software problems soon. I would like my money back, I do not recommend this game.

    This product did not download. I used the instructions provided by best buy, but it did not work. I tried to work with customer care to resolve the issue with no luck. I will never buy another digital product from Best Buy. This experience made me reconsider my relationship with Best Buy.

    Bought this without knowing they now have Xbox S/X. We have the Xbox One series S and this game does not work. Microsoft nor Best Buy wants to refund the money. I guess ill read better into technology changes next time. I have one unhappy 11yr old.

    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.

    It did not work out of the box (after downloading). I had to go the Microsoft website and they made it unnecessarily complex with game card or some crap. So dropped the idea to make it work.

    Microsoft in bed with Xbox wreaking havoc on the computer world. You need more useless apps and a lot of memory forcing you to upgrade your computer.

    Its a pig no matter how much lipstick they put on

    So first of all its a game and its nothing like flying a real plane. The control inputs are way over sensitive and I am still tuning to get it to something acceptable. The trying to interface with the Garmin G1000 using a mouse will drive you nuts. It continues to be buggy. Control settings I save, don't save. You will download 8-10 GB worth of weekly patches. Then there's the hardware. I run an EVGA 2080Ti on an Intel i9-9900K, 32G Ram, 2Tb EVO SSD and even with just the high settings on UHD many conditions in the game will drop to low 30's fps. I gave up trying to run it on ultra. I've looked at all the benchmarks there isn't even a GPU on the made as of Jan 2021 than will give you a consistent 50-60fps in ultra unless you want to drop $1800 for a RTX3090 assuming you can find one. So if you have the hardware, don't mind the bugs, waiting for all the patches to download and update, you'll probably love it Is it cheaper than renting a plane, yes. Is it anything like flying a plane, no.

    VERY DISSAPOINTED

    A ridiculously complex way to install a game on a PC. very frustrating. to save a few pennies, this extremely profitable company makes it almost impossible to install their product onto your system. I won't even be able to get to trying it out because instead of loading from CD's , you have to wait HOURS to download.

    Throttle and mixture glitch in sim rendering the game useless and the fix to turn off all AI does not fix the problem.
