    El mejor simulador de vuelo de la generación y uno de los mejores de la historia.
    Gráficos a un nivel nunca vistos y una jugabilidad exquisita para todos los amantes de la aviación.

    Still need much work to do, because a lot of bugs around Earth and some places buildings are not similar, as an example in Kazakhstan. Expected to see the realistic terminal in Almaty and Astana, but the reality was different. Flight dynamics still needs to improve because some planes touch the runway as a magnet. Airbus A320neo most buttons and system INOP, autopilot live his own life andStill need much work to do, because a lot of bugs around Earth and some places buildings are not similar, as an example in Kazakhstan.

Aviation simmers obviously will wait for addons such as PMDG, Aerosoft, FSLab, Quality Wings, etc. and some more advanced edited airports.… Expand

    Truly a next generation simulation.
    If you have the hardware needed, this is the platform for future proof aviation - highly recommended

    It's an excellent game. A very real simulator with incredible graphic quality. It's the most innovative video game of the year in my opinion. All pc gamers should try this game. It is very difficult to give an objective review in my case, but if you like simulators I recommend you try it

    Es una auténtica maravilla de juego, siempre soñé con poder visitar mi ciudad y el mundo entero en algún videojuego y por fin ya lo puedo hacer. La exactitud con la que está todo recreado es simplemente fascinante. Por mi parte no puedo quejarme de bugs porque no he tenido ninguno y para tener una GPU gama baja (gtx 1650) se ve de lujo y funciona a la perfección

    Proces instalacji okropny. Gra cały czas się zawiesza na pasku ładowania, żaden sposób na to nie pomaga. Jak na 90GB do pobrania jest to niedopuszczalne.

    First of all - this is not a game, this is an old school simulator. It's not that hyper realistic as for example X-Plane, but it's close enough.

    Of course you need quite a beefy hardware to run it properly, especially in big cities. But I wouldn't say it's badly optimised. You just need to know how to set it up properly. It's designed for years to come, so it's really good that you can scale up the graphics while new hardware arrives.
    So don't read comments from all those whiny kids that are easily bored, let them play their Call Of Duty's...    … Expand

    a terrible performance especially on CPU usage this is same as fsx or p3d with better graphics and whether visuals you have to have a top-end computer to use airliners and even them you cpu and GPU usage gonna be low i have a 5700xt and 6700k at 4.5 32 ram and gpu and cpu usage rarely go over 70% and in new york get less than 25 fps, and when i was on the alpha the game performance mucha terrible performance especially on CPU usage this is same as fsx or p3d with better graphics and whether visuals you have to have a top-end computer to use airliners and even them you cpu and GPU usage gonna be low i have a 5700xt and 6700k at 4.5 32 ram and gpu and cpu usage rarely go over 70% and in new york get less than 25 fps, and when i was on the alpha the game performance much better with better visuals but for some really they turn down the visuals and even the perfomance of the game got worst very strage.
    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

    Tried playing on my 5700xt + 3700x + 24GB of ram + Samsung 970 Evo and would not play properly. Textures are horrible, stutters are rampant, and horrid frame drops.

    The negative reviews are just complaints from people who can't run the game properly. This is an absolute marvel of technology, and a base to make the most incredible representation of the world ever put to code.

    That said, you'll need a beefy rig to run this well. I have a Threadripper 1920X and a 1080ti and This game will chug at 4k high-end settings.

    A very niche product that requires a strong internet connection, and is just bland after 1 hour. It’s like google maps but slower.

    the simulator is pretty good, the graphics are excellent, and it feels massive but it's not finished in some parts and some cities are lacking edifications and the textures in the land are not really good
    but, i recommended? just if you like simulators, other wise no

    I see lot of reviews telling that the game isn't fun or that it has perfomance problems, but, first of all it is a SIMULATOR, it is as fun as other simulators, and perfomance is quite good, dunno what you saying, running fine in a 1050ti, dont expect to play at a higher resolution in a game so hardware consuming. it can improve obviously but is not broken. this game is more on takingI see lot of reviews telling that the game isn't fun or that it has perfomance problems, but, first of all it is a SIMULATOR, it is as fun as other simulators, and perfomance is quite good, dunno what you saying, running fine in a 1050ti, dont expect to play at a higher resolution in a game so hardware consuming. it can improve obviously but is not broken. this game is more on taking photos than playing anyway, glad to visit my country in the airplane, you should try it yourself :)… Expand

    Espectacular define este juego, para mi el mejor juego de la historia donde la confundes a veces la realidad de los paisajes y el pilotaje de los aviones, lo he probado en el game pass pero me lo pillare la versión digital. Una obra maestra como esta no debe faltar en mi pc.

    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.
