Comprehensive flight experience

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 is a flight simulator video game developed by Asobo Studio and published by Xbox Game Studios. It is the first release in the Flight Simulator series since Microsoft Flight Simulator X  was released in 2006. This version has upgraded its graphics to mimic the textures of Earth, going as far as using topographical data from Bing Maps. The three-dimensional representation of natural wonders was created using Microsoft Azure technology.

Which flight simulator is the most realistic?

MFS 2020 was created with Asobo’s in-house developed game engine. Leveraging Bing Maps data, you will have on-demand access to two petabytes of data from the cloud. Asure artificial intelligence scans map information and photogrammetry to project photorealistic three-dimensional models of nature and urban areas. Fly out from 37 thousand real-world airports and visit 2 million cities and towns, with 1.5 billion buildings and 2 trillion trees altogether. 

Living and non-living beings will appear in all areas of the game. This includes flora and fauna that are living in nature and moving vehicles that populate the area. A prime example of the simulator’s attention to detail is the effect wind direction has on your surroundings. Waterfalls will flow according to the wind, and the individual leaves of the trees will begin to rustle, creating the appearance of a living world. 

The flight model processor was used to simulate thousands of surfaces and 3D forces. Its appearance will vary depending on the weather conditions, seasons, and time of day. Utilizing real-world weather data allows the game to follow the same conditions as the area you’re flying in. For example, you’re flying over the United Kingdom, where it often rains. Most likely, you will be navigating through thick and moist clouds. This will greatly affect your ability to fly. 

What’s included in Flight Simulator 2020?

Just like Microsoft Simulator X, Flight Simulator 2020 is also available in Standard, Deluxe, and Premium Deluxe Versions. The difference between the three is that they provide an incremental set of airplanes to choose from as well as additional airports with more detailed visuals. The Standard version offers walkthroughs and a manual, while the Premium Deluxe edition has the same inclusion plus an artbook. All three editions are available for desktops and consoles, including Microsoft Game Pass users.

It’s also important to note that all the versions come with the installer and basic content only. This means the aircraft and default world are already included in the game. The simulation and other updates can be downloaded during installation, which requires an active internet connection. This will allow it to automatically update on its own. Higher quality of ground imagery, sharper details, and more accurate weather data will appear as you continue to update the game. 

Assignment-situated objectives have likewise been added to the game to urge clients to fly universally and locally. This usage of multipath and occasion-arranged circumstances gives a motivating force clients to cooperate. You will receive benefits for finishing missions and meeting explicit amounts all through the game. By finishing your preparation, you will get recreated pilot appraisals in particular: Private Pilot, Commercial Pilot, and Airline Transfer Pilot.

What’s new in City Update II?

The newest free update, City Update II, brings changes to five cities in France, which are Amiens, Angers, Nantes, Nîmes, and Reims. Plus, it adds the renowned Paris–Le Bourget Airport in standard and festival modes. Besides that, it also introduces a new plane, the Local Legend 09: the Latécoère Model 631. The six-engine, high-wing beast comes with 16 liveries and can be purchased by the player.

High-octane and detailed flight simulator

Microsoft Flight Simulator allows you to encounter flying enormous planes, helicopters, and different airplanes in different conditions. You will be tested by a one-of-a-kind blend of landscape, season, climate, and time of day. Likewise, meeting the necessities set by the trainers and control pinnacles will test your critical thinking aptitudes, mindfulness, and time with the executives, making it an appropriate game for air travel devotees and experienced gamers.
