Para los pilotos profesionales, Maicrosof Flai simuleitor no es más que un jueguito cutre; para los gamers, uno de los métodos más efectivo para coger el sueño (mejor que los fármacos o que contar ovejas).

    El apartado gráfico es deficiente, el entorno solo se ve decentemente cuando vuelas a unos 40.000 píes de altura, pero, cuando te acercas a superficie terrestre, descubres que los escenarios son de cartón piedra. A ras de suelo las texturas son extremadamente pobres (de juego de 32 bits) y los "vehículos" (lo que se supone que son vehículos) flotan como los globos de una fiesta de cumpleaños. El mundo es muy grande, sí, pero los elementos que hay en él son parecidos a los del decorado de una maqueta. Lamentable.

    Sobre la jugabilidad no hay mucho que decir, es simple, monótona, soporífera... Si buscas diversión, este «juego» no es para ti. Bueno, como no pretendo hacer un análisis muy extenso, pero sí preciso, voy a ir directo al punto, Maicrosof Flai Simuleitor es una absoluta cagada, sin matices, no podría salvarlo ni aunque lo sacaran para PlayStation, por lo tanto, mi calificación es un 1/10. Aburre hasta a los lamecalvas, que ya es decir mucho.    … Expand

    Los mapas son creados de manera muy mala en mi experiencia me tope con muchos fallos. Y como simulador deja mucho que desear. Muchos bugs que hacen que la experiencia no se disfrute, desde la calidad de los mapas, no es realista con la ciudad en la que estas. Las fisicas tampoco son reales hice choques de prueba y nada.

    El PC se sobrecalienta a niveles muy altos, teniendo una 2080 ti y un i7, no puedo correrlo ni a 60 fps. El Port de este juego es más cutre que el del gta IV. Parece un juego de 2006, literalmente. Con estar a 10 km ya se nota que la calidad de un edificio es bazofia. Después de haber venido del The Last of Us Parte II, este juego (gráficamente) es como dar limonada a un perro. Un 0 merecido.

    A total mess of a game.

    First there is the installer. I bought it on Steam. Steam downloads a 500mb package which loads you into the game for it to download about 100gb of content. This installer took hours and hours and kept crashing and needing to be restarted. Sometimes it would restart and try to load the game which wouldn't work, other times it would go back to the installer.    A total mess of a game.

Sometimes it would restart and try to load the game which wouldn't work, other times it would go back to the installer.

    Then there is the game itself when it finally did finish downloading. The planes feel really weird. Everything feels so light and twitchy and overly sensitive. FSX had more realistic handling than this. The UI is clunky and awkward. Many of the aircraft controls do nothing and aren't implemented and the ATC is ripped straight from FSX.

    The scenery in the UK looked awful. Generic buildings that look completely out of place. London looks absolutely nothing like the real city. Really quite bad considering they have the gall to charge you £60 extra for Heathrow airport. They could at least make the city it's connected to vaguely resemble the real thing.

    The worst part though, is that the game would randomly crash. I didn't get further than 5 minutes on any flight without it just freezing and exiting to desktop for no reason. This is on a reasonably high end machine with updated drivers, Windows updated, and using Nvidia's optimal settings for the game.

    To me it just felt overall like this game was nowhere near ready for release and was just rushed out the door to make a quick buck. It's really quite confusing why critics have scored this game so highly and seem to have ignored it's many faults.    … Expand

The installation process was terrible to say the least - beware as the download counts as "gametime" and you therefore lose the option to refund the game on steam as this download takes lots of time. Once past that, the game keeps on crashing! The fps is extremely low considering what this game looks like and the hardware people play with today. This is what killed this experience for me. It's unplayable. Will update this review if all of this is resolved. As it stands now: DON'T BUY THIS GAME!

    I have been playing MSFS since the 1998 version so I think I know what to expect of this game series. To be honest, optimisation has always been bad with these games. Here is the truth: if you have played any AAA title the last 5 years you probably won't be blown away by the graphics of this game. It does NOT look amazing or even "2020 worthy". Flight simulator nerds probably thinks the graphics and optimisation is amazing since they don't know what to expect of a game in this time and age. So I expect hate from saying this. It basically looks like a bad port of google maps that you can fly with a plane with some thrown in bloom effects and clouds. That's it. Only some of the major cities in the world is somewhat detailed, all others look like ♥♥♥♥. Optimisation is really bad. Even with a 2080ti this game is struggling to keep the frames up. Forget constant 60 fps with anything bigger than 1080p - and that's not even at ultra settings.

    Youtubers promoting this game as "amazing", "reforming gaming" and "10/10" are either biased or do not know what they are talking about. If you swallow that rhetoric then I want you to take a step back and ask you this: will you be playing this for more than 10 hours? I just passed my 10 hour mark and most of you who won't agree with my review will never surpass 10 hours. And, if you do, that's because of reloading the game from the constant crashes and waiting-screens.

    This game is said to be updated during the coming 10 years and to be fair - they really need 10 years if they are to polish this game. GL.

    I got ryzen 3900x with 32 gbs of OCed ram and a 1080ti - this game should NOT be crashing as often as it does and it should not give me 40 fps on medium settings with a 3440x1440 resolution. Lot's of people are having issues with low fps so this is not a fault on my end. All drivers for OS, GPU and CPU are updated, including the latest gpu version.

    + added to the review-score for somewhat fun missions

    I managed to get by some of the crashes by dowloading the latest windows version. Give that a try if the game crashes for you. My game still crashes often but now maybe just once every half an hour.    … Expand

    AI traffic is worse than fsx and p3d the logic is the same but with more bugs, after 14 years same logic on the sim sorry but not acceptable, well same with atc is the same in fsx with a few imruves but too many bugs than at the and you turn off cause is useless, ai traffic atc was one of the wors part on older simulators cause broke the immersion i expected a new and more immersive system but at the moment is the same,
    and default planes are ok I prefer that they made less quantity and more details and fewer bugs, so until 3rd party is gonna be a long way,
    the conclusion is a very good graphics and wheather visuals game with too many bugs and so many areas where they have to move from older sim code and improve places like performance ai traffic atc and game modes otherwise people gonna get bore until good addons come, the game is on beta cause this is not a finish products    … Expand

    The game is not bad at all, maybe repetitive if you dont like very much that type of games. But the bad part, are the crashes, and the requisites for playing. With a very good machine, it doesnt get 60fps. The official requisites are a joke, liars. There are so many bugs, but i expect patchs to solve them.

I tried every tutorial to fix it and restart the game (including doing it in admin mode) but still nothing. The problem is this game is too linear, so much that I don't think PC's (except if its a NASA computer) were ready for this. Microsoft had an amazing idea in mind that I fully support but the technology standards right now aren't there. This is too advanced for most PC's and Microsoft made something that was too much for basic technology to process. Its the entire world that's being downloaded, something that doesn't come at an easy cost. Along with that, textures, planes, everything else, that's just too much for basic systems to handle. For those with a NASA computer for say, you may enjoy this game but for the common gamer, they will not even get the chance. In other words, to put this game, it's like Back To The Future where Marty plays 80's metal in the 1950s. The people weren't ready for that yet and neither weren't we to experience Flight Sim. If this were to come out a few years later, I may be able to give this game a higher review but as of now, this game isn't ready yet.… Expand

He already told me that there was a massive download (92gb) for the game, so that didn't bother me that much. So i went to my closet of nerdy gaming gear, and found my Seitek x52 pro HOTAS. You know, a critically acclaimed piece of hardware used to play specifically these kinds of games.A friend recommended the game to me, said it was FTP on the Xbox game pass, so what did i have to lose?

You know, a critically acclaimed piece of hardware used to play specifically these kinds of games.

    So, the download crashed twice, and there was a bit of bother with getting it to actually finish, but it got there in the end, and hey! the game is B-E-A-utiful! Since i haven't played flight simulator for quite some years, i thought i'd give ye old "learn to fly" a try. Shouldn't be a problem... Right?

    Well. First off, it turned out that there was no default setup for my HOTAS. You know, the one that is literally critically acclaimed and used by thousands of flight simulator players around the world, because it only has a few short comings. But hey, it's a new game, it might be a little buggy, so lets just get that out of the way, and play the game.

    So i went online, not on bing, but google, and found a solution to my problem. Turns out it works if you disconnect the HOTAS, launch the game, and then connect it. So that's what i did, and then i wen't flying. For all of 10 minutes before it started turning my Throttle off randomly. I thought "that was weird" and continued playing, having it happen several times.

    a little later, it happened while i was on the ground. So there was no way to just crash the plain, and restart the mission. Now i was stuck there, because the issue that disabled my throttle, also disabled my keyboard. So now i was stuck in a game, where i couldn't do anything and couldn't exit because it disabled everything control device on my computer, except my mouse.

    EVEN THEN! i thought, hey I'd just restart, new. game. buggy. It happens. Except! It switch my monitors, continuesly disabled my keyboard, even through a forced restart of my computer.

    So, even though i really tried to look past all the bugs, the game is currently in a terribly buggy state, that can effect the rest of your computer, so if you have an x52 pro, which is where i think the bug arised, then for the love of all that is holy, don't play the game with it, it took me the better part of 2 hours to get my keyboard working again, and it's currently 5:32am.

    So, TL:DR QA should have used a bit longer on this product, and you might get to suffer for their lack of diligence.    … Expand

    But are you able to actually enjoy all of this?
    Nah that's not Microsoft and Asobo's first priority. They are too busy making a industry claimed best flight simulator for all the media and youtubers show it off and don't have the time to care about us little peasants are able to actually play it or now. Why do I say that? Here's why:

    I have a decent desktop PC so the performance issue is fine on my end.
    But ever since the launch I'm experiencing server issues where I can't select any servers cuz they're not there on the server list and the game stuck on Automatic server and can't actually assign me into one. I can't see any live flights and/or other real players in the world map. I can only see my friends so I thought "Ok let's multiplayer then". But when I enter the actual game world, I can't see anyone! Not even my in game friends which appears on my world map!
    I've submitted a ticket on Zendesk which is their "supporting" site since the day of launch. But did I got a reply?
    Nope! 4 days and not a single word from their supporting team lol

    That's the major issue that I've been facing lately but that's not the ONLY issue I've encountered since launch.
    The world map's filter keep at a really weird configuration where I can't see any airports. I stuck at reset it into default every time I enter the world map.
    The manual cache page keeps at a whopping 500ms frame time so I can't select any region to cache.
    The game will crash if you have any usb devices plug in or pull out.
    And on and on and on......

    I currently have 3 tickets opened at Zendesk and I don't expect them to reply me anytime soon cuz I don't think they really care about minor bugs and issues since there are soooo many ppl aren't able to even enter the game. I won't refund it cuz it really got potential but I also won't change my score even if Microsoft and Asobo fixed these issues since this is the most disastrous launch I've ever experienced since Forza Horizon 3 Windows 10 Launch lol (Remember THAT Microsoft??)    … Expand

    For some bizarre reason devs decided to place only an 1 gb installer in the MS store. The installer downloads fine but once you start the game it demands another 150 GB download, which is ok by today's standards. but the problem is that it is hosted on some cheapass server that can't produce decent speeds outside of the US, so if you are in Europe or god forbid anywhere else in the rest of the world, you will get 10 Mbit ( yes megabit, not megabyte) download speed. and this crap is specific to MFS servers. the rest of the games from the MS store can be downloaded just fine.
    All the forums are full of such complaints form day 1 and developers are ignoring the problem.    … Expand

    They lost me when after painfully long installation i discovered, that they didn't bother providing even basic profile for my Virpil hotas. Seriously, i wasn't even able to finish first tutorial because the game instructed me to use some button on a device which wasn't configured, and there was no walkaround for this problem.

    if you're a die hard flight simulator, I guess you already own that game and saved up some money to boost your PC.
    I play on a Ryzen 5900X with an RTX3090 with 64 GB of RAM and a laser fast SSD NVME 5GB/S with a 10gbit/s Fiber connection and well, I can say the game is just incredible, it is both very accessible with the assists and both challenging technically close to a pro simulator.    if you're a die hard flight simulator, I guess you already own that game and saved up some money to boost your PC.

The Radio Traffic is bringing some much immersion and graphically in Ultra this game is a master piece. Some cockpit shines with ludicrous amount of details.
    Best Flight Sim ever and the map size is just the world so can't really complain. Well done Asobo.
    And they keep pourring in new content.
    Only issue is the installation setup is awkward and slow installing windows and office is faster than installing FS.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was expecting this to be fun however was disappointed by its controls and lack of things to do. Also the simulator is tied behind a paywall. To enjoy the game at its fullest you will have to pay extra which I was not happy about. Graphics are nice other than that this is a stale simulator that I would not be touching again. I do not recommend this unfortunately.… Expand

    super simulateur il mérite la meilleure note mais rien que le fait que le Microsoft store m’empêche d’y jouer mérite 0 2h de plaisir à voler et 10h a essayer de faire fonctionner le game service et le Windows store c’est un désastre même rockstar a fait mieux avec son launcher

    Довольно забавно смотреть как купленная за 60 баксов игра лежит у тебя мертвым грузом из за убогой политики Microsoft в отношении моей страны. Даже деньги вернуть нельзя, а так игра прикольная. Всем добра и удачи!

    Guys, this is the warning about Microsoft policy. I'm living in Russia and I don't approved the war with Ukraine. However, I faced with locking of already buyed deluxe edition Microsoft Fligth Simulator in Steam. I want to warn you, that this may happen and with you if you born in wrong nation/race/gender. I never buy any Microsoft's product and I better pay to Sony or Nintendo. F*** you,Guys, this is the warning about Microsoft policy. I'm living in Russia and I don't approved the war with Ukraine.

    expectation: a realistic graphics with a beautiful views.
    real game: 10 minutes loading in city, 15 FPS on medium settings, issues with starting a game, worst graphics i've ever seen, can't find difference between flying above los angeles and russia lol. My pc isn't very powerful but that is a real **** There is no optimization at all.

    Microsoft Flight Simulator features some really impressive, even groundbreaking technologies that allow it to procedurally create entire Earth. [Issue#249, p.74]

    It’s not just a game, it’s a phenomenon. It lets you explore literally the whole planet – cities, mountains, lakes, rivers, even my house was there – from the cockpits of 20-30 (depends on the version of the game) airplanes. Flying experiences are also great and vary from machine to machine. I’m sure I’ll be returning to MFS for years to come. [11/2020, p.38]

    When all is said and done, Microsoft Flight Simulator in its current state reminds me a lot of Sea of Thieves shortly after launch. The game has a lot of promise and a lot of potential, but it is marred by a number of issues that keep it from really shining. Once the issues have been worked out in six months or a year from now, I fully expect Microsoft Flight Simulator to be a must-have title. Right now, unless you are a hardcore flight sim fanatic, I would pass on buying the premium version and just stick to playing the basic version that's included with GamePass.
