What's new in Microsoft Flight Simulator

We begin to prepare for takeoff. Xbox Game Studios and Asobo Studio are pleased to announce to gamers that the new Microsoft Flight Simulator will launch on August 18th. You can pre-order Windows 10 or pre-install with Xbox Game Pass for PC (Beta) today.



We appreciate the support and dedication of the Flight Simulator community throughout the 38 years since Microsoft Flight Simulator 1.0 was released in 1982. Finally, it's time for a completely new generation of aviation games. With the help of all the necessary tools, technologies, computing power, as well as with the help of our partners, we have made the most realistic and authentic airplane piloting simulator to date.







The new Microsoft Flight Simulator offers you:



Vibrantly detailed landscapes - immerse yourself in the vast and beautiful world of our planet: more than 1.5 billion buildings, 2 trillion trees, mountains, roads, rivers and much more.







Living World - The Earth lives and constantly changes, and with it the world of Microsoft Flight Simulator, which reflects traffic, weather and animals in real time.







Highly Developed Aircraft - Hone your pilot skills on a variety of aircraft, from light aircraft to commercial airliners with complex flight models. Each aircraft has a detailed cockpit that faithfully replicates the real one, with realistic instruments and controls.







New checklist system- Choose your level from beginner to professional, from completely manual mode to controls with interactive tips.







Dynamic Weather - A new weather shaping engine allows you to enable real-time mode to pilot in conditions as close to real ones as possible, including accurate data on wind speed and direction, temperature, humidity, precipitation, and more.







New mechanism for switching day and night - fly at any time of the day and at any time of the year, using night or day rules of flight and navigation.







Aerodynamic modeling- A state-of-the-art physics simulation engine, using over a thousand control surfaces for each aircraft, provides a truly realistic flight simulation.







Whichever edition of the game you choose will have a large fleet of aircraft and many detailed airports. You will also have access to further content updates that will regularly expand the Microsoft Flight Simulator platform.



Haven't flown flight simulators yet? Or are you already a professional pilot? Whatever your experience, Microsoft Flight Simulator is calling you to the skies.
