    I am amazed at how Microsoft did it amazingly with this game. You can play it in easy mode and real simulation mode. All the aspects are well done. I am not a pilot but I can tell you that I loved flying and experience how hard could be to fly an airplane. Try it with the game pass

    Es un juego muy de "nicho", su optimización deja mucho que desear en PC. La versión de Series X es mas de lo mismo que en PC, pero mas agravado. Una tasa de frames ridícula (30fps), y un aumento de recortes en gráficos respeto a la versión de PC vergonzosa.

    Trinerlar oyunlar için oyunu anlatır cinsde olmalıdır. Bir video geçiyor ve burada oyunla ilgili hiç birşey yok. Oyunu tanıtmak göstermek yerine animasyon ile çe vre güzelliği gösteriliyor. Çevreye bakarak similatör oyunu almak isteyen varsa buyursun alsın fakat bu oyun trinerında bana çöp olduğunu söyledi. İyi olsaydı oyun oynanışı bulunurdu.

    The beauty on the Xbox Series X is stunning. Overwhelmingly so. Once it clicks that you are able to explore anywhere, I immediately began to wonder if this is the future of gaming - one where “global scale” is literally global. There is a wide variety of settings, AI flight options for beginners and realism settings to appeal to hardcore pilots. There is no other game like it.

Please don't buy this game just because it looks pretty (it does that). You can see all the pretty videos on YouTube of it. Only get it if you're interested in flight simulation. And this is actual simulation. Not the kind of "simulation" video games like "Sim" City and "The Sims" all sports "simulations"/ and even great games like Planet Coaster (though that's not a self declared simulation). Please look up the word simulation if you don't know what it is. Then expect that. If you still want it. You'll love this game. If you don't, move on. Unless you have Gamepass, if you do (and you should) then play it for an hour, see your house, crash, and call it a day. I'll be spending my time flying across the world over hours and hours doing nothing but monitoring instruments, seeing the world (the whole thing is literally here), and, I'm not gonna lie, using autopilot while I play my phone on occasion. Hey, I'm not perfect. This "game" on the other hand (it's technically a game btw, simulations designed for entertainment are games I'm afraid.

    This game is absolutely stunning and probably the BEST looking game on the market overall. It is even better looking if you go into the flight sim store and download free graphics upgrade packs, it's insane.

    The game plays fantastic on a controller but it also supports HOTAS which is nice. The flight mechanics can be tuned to however you want to play realism wise. Hell you can even play with realtime weather so if it's raining at your house and you fly there... It will be raining and even the clouds will look like the ones in real life. There are a couple bugs but nothing major and there are some areas with frame rate drops but it doesn't affect gameplay.

    Lastly this is on gamepass so give it a shot. It can be ultra relaxing or insanely intense. You can just fly around or do scenarios that will put your skills to the test.    … Expand

    Une centaine de gigas déjà (au bas mot) sans compter tout ce qui déboulera après en màj, DLC et jen passe et des meilleures… pour l’installation, puis voilà-t-y pas que ce gros porc tire sur la connexion interpasnet comme pas possible : il bouffe la bande passante comme un gros dégueulasse, tout ça pour sa météo en temps réel et quelques textures de plus… putain ! même le ‘fichier de cache’ peut être paramétré et si on le laissait faire, il vous boufferait tout le disque dur, ce gros con…! (un ssd très coûteux, faut-il le rappeler…).

    De toute façon, si ce machin ‘planétaire’ n’est certainement pas vilain, il n’est définitivement pas si beau que ça et surtout, il ne tourne qu’à 30 im/s seulement (en dehors des ralentissements) sans qu’un quelconque mode performance à 60 (fût-il en 1080) ne soit proposé : c’est inacceptable pour un jeu moderne.

    Par ailleurs, on se rend vite compte que l’interface générale n’est pas adaptée à la manette avec par exemple des menus à n’en plus finir et un putain de curseur ! ils veulent donc qu’on joue avec un clavier sur les genoux et la souris sur le canapé, ces connards ! de toute manière, c’est toute la présentation de ce pseudo-jeu qui est à revoir, un « jeu » qui se révèle chiant comme la pluie et aussi passionnant qu’un avis d’impôt sur le revenu.    … Expand

    Absolutely gorgeous. Launched on 27th, and it's been less than 48 since this review.

Many people have faced and are still facing bugs within the game like not being able to start a session, or missing cursor for navigation, or stuck on Installation manager page but luckily I didn't have to face these issues. So keep in mind this review is from a bug free launch POV. This simulation is gorgeous no doubt, a lot of fun for someone like me who doesn't like going out yet loves adventures or for someone who can't afford to travel the world because of physical, mental or financial conditions. The simulation does an absolutely phenomenal job of capturing the world and showing it to us as it is. Flying over cities, countryside, mountains, seas, and everything else gives so much satisfaction. Whether it'd be flying over your house, flying over the city you used to live in, or exploring new places believe me you're going to enjoy it. It may feel slow and not much interactive but can't really blame the sim as there's not much to interact with on a flight as well so don't forget to bring over your friends and explore in co-pilot mode to make the experience even better. Just sit back, control the plane, relax and enjoy the views while exploring. I'd be lying if I said this game is 100/100 fun all the time and you're going to enjoy every single second you spend in it. The truth is, you'll get bored of it eventually because there's no story, it's just... flying. It's a sim so what do you expect ? Also keep in mind the game is far from perfect at the moment, I have faced issues like frame drops and stutters when switching back and forth between the cockpit. It can also be a bit tricky to learn how to take off and land properly while also maintaining control when flying. It's not that complicated at the easiest setting and you'll get used to it soon. 93/100, a must buy if you appreciate the developers work and nature.… Expand

    El juego impresiona por su gráficos, las ciudades que tienen telemetría se ven espectaculares, el clima muy preciso. La optimización es bestial. Lo único que le puedo criticar es q algunas ventana emergentes aun no estan adaptadas al control y me toco usar mouse de pc, pero creo q algo corregible en cualquier actualización.

    Microsoft Flight Simulator is that kind of Simulator you show your friends for 15 Min before they get bored.
    The joy of seeing your plane fly stops after 10 minutes of monotony and bland gameplay.
    I would honestly prefer to watch a Nat Geo Documentary of the Earth, instead of playing this.

    Simply stunning graphics and the attention to detail on the plane is amazing. As the name suggests, this is a simulator and you can set the difficulty to be as simple or as realistic as you want but whichever way you choose, when you are in the clouds (which are ridiculously good) or looking out of the cockpit window, it feels like flying.

There are frame drops, but honestly you rarely notice, and 30 frames is fine for a game like this. If you aren't into flying and have GamePass, you really should try this (it's free!!) If you are into flying, then you need to get this game pass or not.

    Clearly some review bombers on here, even saw one talking about how bad the graphics were, cant help that i guess, but in a nutshell this is a really good game/simulator (so good that I've convinced myself i can fly a Cessna now :)

    If you have played Microsoft Flight Simulator on PC then you would know how annoying it was to get it to work. This Xbox version is definitely feels like a better optimized game than the PC version. Maybe that’s just because I lack a good PC but Asobo did a great job with the Xbox version. Recommendation: If you have a TV that has VRR then enable it on your Xbox. You could get almost 120 FPS.

    A wonderful game for both a enthusiast and casual audiences. As a newbie, in a few minutes from start up you can be flying assisted anywhere you world you desire. There is so much to appreciate, especially the amount of tools you have to toggle and define how realistic your cockpit control and environmental simulations is.

    Often before Zoom meetings for work, I have found myself setting up a flight and letting the auto pilot take over so I have some relaxing scenery to enjoy throughout the work day. This has been a welcome change of scenery since COVID effectively clipped my wings for business travel.

    I especially love the live service features that incorporate real time weather and air traffic. during my first hour of play, I like many flew straight towards my house. However, during this flight I spotted another aircraft near my proximity. Curious to the range of live service, I put my controller down and walked outside... Sure enough, there was the other plane flying overhead in the real world.

    My only negative take away is how menu heavy it can feel. Because of this, sometimes I don't have time to respond to Tower requests before they move on to the next instruction or plane. I hope that a companion app is developed in the future to mitigate this, but all in all I am genuinely surprised that every feature and control is accessible from a standard Xbox controller.    … Expand

Once the magic wears off of flying around in authentic real world settings, it wears off fast. Also, is no one going to talk about the horrible textures of buildings and street level pixelated graphics, bridges will be missing, cars are a blur and run into each other, i would clip through entire buildings, etc. This game is on gamepass, and thats the rating this game deserves, (unless you are a flying enthusiast). This is a check out on gamepass, wait for sale until 50% off at best for most gamers. Impressive technical achievements, but also disapointing at the same time.… Expand

    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]

    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.
