    Absolutely breath taking game. The graphics are amazing - photo realistic. I am not usually a flight sim fan, but this game is just so completely engrossing that I find myself losing hour after hour in it - and I have only had the game for al little over a day.

    I have had an Xbox Series X and a PS5 since launch, and this is the first game I have seen that deserves the title of next gen.

    Well done Microsoft! After a less than stellar showing last gen you are really pulling out all the stops this one.

    Best graphics I have seen on any console game so far (Xbox Series X version) everything works so well, getting myself a flight controller it's that good even though it works very well with the gamepad.

No technical issues, graphics are very good, nice fly system, great planes - I only wish there would be more Asia scenery, Hongkong plus Kai Tak, better Bangkok scenery, more Thailand airports, Phuket and Samui - I would buy it right away.

    It's difficult to judge something that literally lets you fly anywhere in the world. I flirted with a 9 because there are some niggles, but for a sim of this scope, it has to stand alongside 10/10 games. After 40 hours I'm just scratching the surface.

    Microsoft also created a good game with the console version of "Microsoft Flight Simulator". The representations of the earth and the sounds of the different airplanes alone are impressive and create a great and atmospheric atmosphere.

    Possibly the best looking game I've ever played. From a technical standpoint, it's pretty incredible what the game is doing behind the scenes and pulling off. I admit it's not for everyone, and can get old pretty quick once you've flown over all the locations you're interested in, but it's still such an amazing achievement. The upcoming competitive modes and Top Gun DLC will only make it better.

    Here's how it works. Spin the globe, pick your destination, click the place and a departure option comes up, click that then click the fly button and guess what? You are flying where you chose, anywhere in the world. You can pick an airport too and take off yourself from the runway. Don't expect Google Street view, cos we're not that advanced yet but what a great thing to have on your console. It's in the £9 game pass, you can't moan at that. Only complaint is damn where did all my SSD space go but I am guessing the mapping of the world takes a bloody lot of data. This is a slow relaxing flight simulator. Don't be expecting Starfox. Enjoy it for what it is, which for me is to have a nosey at places for my potential holidays .

    A representação dos cenários é simplesmente deslumbrante. Cada cidade, montanha, lago e monumento é reproduzido com uma precisão incrível.

    A representação dos cenários é simplesmente deslumbrante. Cada cidade, montanha, lago e monumento é reproduzido com uma precisão incrível. Voar sobre pontos turísticos icônicos, como a Estátua da Liberdade ou a Torre Eiffel, é uma experiência de tirar o fôlego. Além disso, a iluminação dinâmica e os efeitos climáticos realistas contribuem para a imersão total no mundo da aviação.

    A seleção de aeronaves é bastante abrangente, oferecendo uma variedade de opções para todos os tipos de pilotos. Desde pequenos aviões de hélice até jatos comerciais e até mesmo aeronaves históricas, cada uma delas possui seu próprio conjunto de características e sistemas. A atenção aos detalhes é notável, desde o interior do cockpit até a física de voo realista. Isso torna cada voo único e desafiador.

    A jogabilidade é acessível, permitindo que tanto pilotos experientes quanto iniciantes desfrutem da experiência de voo. Há também opções de assistência para ajudar os jogadores a se adaptarem e aprimorarem suas habilidades. O suporte contínuo da desenvolvedora, com atualizações regulares e gratuitas, traz melhorias e novos recursos, mantendo o jogo sempre fresco e atualizado.

    A comunidade em torno do Microsoft Flight Simulator também é incrível. Há uma grande variedade de mods, cenários personalizados e recursos adicionais criados pelos jogadores, o que amplia ainda mais as possibilidades e a diversão. A interação com outros entusiastas da aviação, compartilhando experiências e conhecimentos, é uma parte importante dessa experiência de jogo.

    Em resumo, o Microsoft Flight Simulator é um sonho realizado para os amantes da aviação. Sua representação visual deslumbrante, aeronaves realistas e suporte contínuo da comunidade tornam-no um simulador de voo excepcional. Se você deseja voar pelos céus e experimentar a sensação de ser um piloto de verdade, este jogo é uma escolha imperdível.

    First of all, it’s amazing what the developers managed to achieve with a game that made even the most expensive PC graphics cards sweat. The landscapes and cities look simply breathtaking on Xbox Series X, and the console doesn’t get red-hot. However, I did encounter some technical issues, like vanishing textures or even a sudden crash back to the main menu. I’m also not a fan of keeping the interface identical to the PC version, because it means sometimes you need to use your controller as a poor substitute for a mouse. [10/2021, p.67]

    The world's most famous flightsim has flown to the Xbox and stuck the landing. Deep gameplay and a diverse offering of planes make for hours upon hours of virtual pilot fun. You'll have to overlook some performance issues, though.

    Microsoft Flight Simulator is not without its faults. The user interface is hardly user-friendly, opting for a simple recreation of the PC version without much thought given to console gaming. The Flight Training tutorials could have some added polish to make them more accommodating to aspiring pilots. And finally, if I’m going to crash, let me crash in style. Give me epic explosions or something to punctuate my failures – not just a simple black screen. If you’re currently an Xbox Game Pass subscriber, then you have no choice at all – download Microsoft Flight Simulator right at this moment and experience this amazing accomplishment in gaming. Yes, this game is a simulator, but it’s a simulator that does so many things right.
