Microsoft Flight Simulator set for August 18 takeoff

Microsoft Flight Simulator is on the runway and preparing for takeoff. And yes, I’m wearing my captain’s hat and pilot wings on my lapel. I’ll also have enough time to set up my HOTAS (hands-on throttle and stick) controller because Flight Simulator is hitting Windows 10 on August 18.

The new Microsoft Flight Simulator is a major update for the series. It uses satellite and map data to re-create some of Earth’s most gorgeous landscapes. And you’ll get to pilot aeronautical vehicles, from small propeller planes all the way up to an Airbus A320, above these environments. The support for 4K and HDR makes everything in developer Asobo Studio’s sim look astounding.
