Fly higher, further, and faster—if you have the set-up for it.
Our experienced team dedicates many hours to every review, to really get to the heart of what matters most to you.Presenting the entire Earth in even greater fidelity than its 2020 predecessor, it's hard to overstate what a remarkable technical accomplishment Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 represents. The aircraft and cockpits are astoundingly detailed, both visually and in how they function.
It is worth noting, though, that due to the streaming nature of modern Flight Simulator, you will have a variable experience depending on your network set-up. I'm lucky enough to be soaring on gigabit wired ethernet, and allocated 200 GB on a fresh SSD to FS2024's"rolling cache" that stores things like terrain data for frequently-visited locations.
I know, I know. This isn't Microsoft Walking Simulator 2024. But if you give me the option to exit my aircraft and trudge around with a custom avatar, of course I'm going to put it through its paces. And what I found was a startling level of believability across a multitude of distinct biomes… as long as you stick to rural or wilderness, inland areas. Walking through the wooded hills around Divide, CO that I spent a lot of my childhood in was almost eerie in how faithful it felt.
If you're less interested in the simulation aspects, there are a lot of options to tweak your flying experience. With all of the assists turned on, it can feel pretty arcadey. Much too arcadey for my taste, but it's nice that they give you that choice. On the other end of the spectrum, you can go through a pre-flight checklist and manually flip every switch in the cockpit before takeoff, and the air traffic control system is much more detailed than FS2020.
