Microsoft Flight Simulator

Description

Microsoft Flight Simulator for Windows is a sequel to Flight Simulator 2004. There are three editions of the simulator: Standard, Deluxe and Gold. The latest release was in October of 2006 but it was also made available for download as a Steam edition in December of 2014.

The simulator allows you to fly 18 planes in 28 cities (24 aircraft and 38 cities in the Deluxe edition) and land and take off from over 24,000 airports. You can fly in whiteout conditions, search and rescue on an oceanliner, or as a NASA test pilot. There are many game modes available, including the ability to complete different missions and earn rewards or become an Air Traffic Controller in Deluxe Edition.

You can participate in flying lessons in the Learning Center, which features narration by real-life pilot and instructor Rob Machado. Also, you can challenge friends to a race in the game's multiplayer mode.

Flight Simulator provides realistic flight simulation with high-resolution graphics. You can choose from many aircraft to fly in cities around the world and complete intense missions. Microsoft Flight Simulator is up against X-Plane which is cheaper but offers more features and is ultimately the better choice for flight simulator.
