Flight Simulator 2024 | PC & Xbox | Nov 19, 2024
Coming November 19, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is the next installment in the Microsoft Flight Simulator franchise. It is the most ambitious consumer flight simulator ever undertaken, designed to take advantage of the latest technologies in simulation, cloud, machine learning, graphics and gaming. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 goes beyond merely operating the aircraft; it will allow simmers to pursue their dream of an aviation career.
The sky is calling! Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 takes off on Windows PC, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam, and will be available with Game Pass on console, PC, and cloud on day one.
I thought there was already a thread, but I only saw threads for some of the older versions.
The new features sound pretty amazing and now that I have a pretty decent PC, I'll give this a shot.

I don't really have an interest in the career aspect.
What I'd really like to see is an improvement in the imagery for cities. When I fly over my city, the basics are there, but getting near the homes, it's obvious how generic they are, and that they don't match the actual ones.

Its today. I heard it was crazy trying to play though. Just for fun I turned on my Xbox and it gave me an error when I tried to launch it.

I tried the 2023 version (or whichever earlier version came before this) on Gamepass and it wasn't until I started playing that I realized you actually have to know how to fly a plane 
Like it's technical and stuff. Not for me

2020.
I guess the simulator part kind of went over your head then?
They have extensive tutorials.

And you can dumb it way down. Including just taking over when it's already in the air.

I tried playing again. It is awesome. The music is great. The way the grey background blends in with the text that says too many users are trying to login right now is exquisite. The transition from 0% to 1% in the queue is so smooth I didnt even realize 20 minutes had passed.
