    This game is near perfection.
    Don't put attention to the negative ratings, Put attention to the positive reviews, most of those reviews come from people actually playing and enjoying the game, some of them even have experience in other simulation games.

    Simply breathtaking. Its not even next gen yet and it looks and feels so good. Only problem I see is people looking for the game inside the simulator. But if you play it like a sim it's the best flight sim yet.

    As a person who has played almost all of the previous flight sim programs And Boy Oh Boy i have been waiting but this program is a vast improvement over the last sim because the graphics are amazing the joystick usage as well as controller usage is very intuitive i very much liked the landing in this sim compared to the prior it is just a vast improvement over the last one.

    I love it how the developers are working on the Flight Sim.
    With the newest update it became better framerates so my 2080ti and 3800x can run with 60fps now on 1440p.
    The devs are implementing new things for free, the community builds more and more realistic airplanes or other stuff. Best words for this is - breathtaking beauty. Sure , you have to learn and play the tutorials before    I love it how the developers are working on the Flight Sim.

    It never ceases to amaze me reading all the negative feedback, the vast majority being about the download size (127gb for 2020 isnt that big, get over yourself), or that they have issues on the Steam edition for much the same reasons.

    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

    El mejor simulador de la historia, desde semifacil hasta el punto de realismo que es una maravilla jugarlo, respecto al fotorealismo es alucinante, si tu pc no tiene tanta potencia los graficos sufren, es el precio de la calidad grafica, se te pasan las horas recorriendo el mundo.

    The sim itself is a master piece and depart from the legacy FSX with revolutionary system for weather, UI and new vibrant flight model which makes it enjoyable to fly. Sure there are bugs but that would be the case with any software upon release.

    Es el mejor simulador aéreo de la historia y trata muy bien a las personas que no están para a prender a pilotar, si no para ver sus ciudades o otros lugares en estos momentos de cuarentena que vivimos. Este juego motiva a cualquiera a querer volar más y más.

    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.
