we don't really know what we're doing, but the game is an impressive technological accomplishment!

I’m upset that y’all didn’t make the thumbnail say “Before you Fly”

[calummcauley]

It’s so realistic you can almost hear the passengers screaming in terror.

This game's download size is still smaller than COD MW.

The jet engine sound is so real, looks like my PS4 pro on summer days.

When you realize this is one of the best Microsoft games this decade, but it really deserves it, really a huge step in gaming technology.

everybody gangsta till you fly by your house and you can see yourself playing through the window

My dad was a pilot (he’s retired) and we used to play Microsoft flight simulators together sometimes. I’m glad this entry has been getting a lot of attention.

Definitely going to fly to North Korea to see what Kim Jong-un has been up too.

If someone does a complete walkthrough, they would have to go to every location on Earth.

I love that people didn't realise that something literally called 'Flight Simulator' is a flight simulator.

*Jake talking about the game*

Game in the background: STALL, STALL, STALL, STALL

A thought occurred to me: the sales for this game probably got a boost from the fact that most of the world's commercial pilots are currently grounded.

This game needs to be on the headlines for a long time. How many times have you thought: " *I want the whole Earth as a map in a game* " Boom, here you go! THAT'S INSANE!

[TypeASupernova]

That feeling when the whole world is a smaller download than CoD warzone

[Carbon_Based_Life_Form]

So instead of getting security cameras installed outside my house, I can just start playing this and just fly by my house real quick

I remember playing FFX with my dad as a kid, it was some really great times. My dad always said that one day they'll make another one of these games that can copy the entire world. Looks like the that day has come

[volrogue]

okay, but EVERYONE who plays this is crashing into their house

[tonton]

Flying sims isn't my thing but i really appreciate this masterpiece, imagine what could be done on open world games in the next few years

This is the game that "Flight Simulator" fans dreamed of for the last 20 years. Real world maps and real time data. Its just amazing, whether you are into playing it or not.

My favorite thing is when people find all the weird and secret places that are either purposely unmapped or show odd

Not sure if ill ever fool with it, but i absolutely appreciate how far the platform has come. We have reached the future in this one respect.
