  1. Dec 13, 2024
    Too much of the game’s core structure missed the mark, and too many users were already subjected to beta testing the servers and systems of a $60-and-up retail product. If you’re not already invested in the world of flying, don’t invest in MSFS24.
  2. But these issues are just uncommon enough that Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 manages to weather them over and over again, and it’s never too long before the simulation begs your forgiveness with a relentless series of the most astonishing postcard views you’ve ever pointed your eyes at. Whether you’re breaking cloud cover over Mount Rainier, flying low over the gin-clear seas of Saint Lucia, or making your final descent into the greasy miasma of Gatwick, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is an endless parade of giddy spectacle.
