    This is a wonderful flight simulator. The details and realism seem to be designed for flight students and pilots but anyone can enjoy it. Its pretty wild to fly over neighborhoods and areas you are familiar with in person. I do recommend a flight stick with this game. There are quite a few aircraft available but hopefully, there are more available with DLC. An air combat version of this would be excellent.

    So far I am getting the hang of it. It is so much better than previous versions I have owned, dating back to fight sim on Commodore 64. Using it to get back to real flying, thought it might help. Graphics are superb. Reaction superb. Need flight controller for more real feel.

    I have been waiting for Microsoft Flight Simulator to come to a console for years. Now that it has come to the Xbox series x it was worth the wait. The graphics are great and the game play is even better. When you add a yoke or a flight stick the fun ramps to a ten. If you want to be a pilot get this game. If you just like to fly, get this game.

    This Flight Simulator is great game on my Xbox and actuallyfeels like you are in the pilot chair of your own plane. I would recommend it to anyone who likes flying or just spare time at home on your day off. I would recommend getting a Flight Simulator controller at Best Buy to make it more realistic feeling.

    This game proved invaluable to supplement my son's flying lessons, the instructor was shocked at his knowledge he gained just from playing this game, and said most pilots training use this. The ability to travel the world (and even our hometown airport) is amazing. The true-to-life environment and architecture is unbelievable.

    It’s been a long time since I last played a Flight Simulator game. Now, the graphics have already evolved and what can I say? I feel like this is the best it has ever looked. It really is also a showcase for the Xbox Series X (if not, for the PC). Highly recommended!

    I definitely recommend this game. Hours of flying. Love how you can startup the ringtone and taxi down the runway. The experience is unreal. Live weather and all likes of airport and planes.

    Great so far. I held out for the Physical release. Box art is the only head scratcher. No new white stripe on box still black stripe with Xbox Series X in white.
