Xbox Flight Simulator (Xbox Series X)

You need to use CD every time to authenticate even though it i stored in XboxX

The CD was not compatible with my XBox

The scale and execution of this flight sim is unreal. Watch the documentary on YT on how this sim was made. It’s an incredible achievement and it’s worth buying an Xbox X just for this release. It runs as smooth as silk and enables you to actually learn to fly a plane properly. You can go full anorak and learn every detail of aviation if you want or you can use all of the assists if you want a more Arcady experience. I’ve chosen the anorak route and am loving exploring every corner of the world. It’s the best thing I’ve ever seen on a console.

Won’t buy physical media again. Disk must be inserted to play. DUHHH! There is about 100gb of downloads with this plus the disks themselves. There are 6 free updates as well for areas. The gold update with 10 planes and 10 airports was good, but I should have just purchased from the App Store. Downside. No rewards points. You’ll like this and there is a steep learning curve. Post install has configurations which need to be tuned.. I also picked up the thrustmaster hotas and pedals, so an extra 225 on top of the game.

ok

Wonderful graphics and sound. Long install. VERY complex with no instructions provided. You need to go to YouTube to find out how to operate it.

Microsoft flight simulator on xbox series x is absolutely stunning. It's not perfect but with every update it gets better and better and is absolutely stunning the level of detail is truly stunning is only slightly let down with things like certain large structures missing in the UK like The big one rollercoaster at Blackpool and Stealth rollercoasters at Thrope park near London both should be over 200 foot high but are not shown. This are important due to how close to actual airports and in reality are used to guide aeroplanes into the nearby airports.
