Many people dream of becoming a pilot. And by ‘pilot’, we are not just talking about flying a small aircraft like a Cessna. We are talking about large jetliner that takes people half way round the world. In reality, not many can afford the course fees required to be trained and certified as a commercial pilot.
Thankfully, there’s the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. First started in 1982, Microsoft Flight Simulator is the granddaddy of flight sim and its newest iteration solidified its status as the leader in this genre. So, why not safe yourself the hassle of going to flight school and fly virtually? The only downside I see is, you won’t be able to hit on any air hostesses (cue Frank Abagnale, Jr.), but if flying is your main objective, this is it.
The new Microsoft Flight Simulator lets you fly a variety of aircraft, ranging from light planes (including the super cool Icon A5!) to wide-body jets, each highly detailed and accurate to its real-life counterparts. Experience what real pilots experience, including atmospheric simulation and live weather in dynamic and living world.
Plus, you can travel the world and visit 30 international airports big and small all without even picking up your passport.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 is available in three versions: Standard, Deluxe and Premium Deluxe and sells for US$59.99, US$89.99, and US$119.99, respectively. You can find it on Amazon, as well as on Microsoft.com and Steam.
