Microsoft Flight Simulator is almost here, so I quizzed the developers about features and plans for the game. This Microsoft Flight Simulator gameplay features locations requested by you under my earlier Microsoft Flight Simulator preview.

Even though Flight Simulator is out on 18th August, this is not our Microsoft Flight Simulator review. Instead we asked the team about Flight Simulator features, from how they decide the level of simulation to how the game works offline and with world updates. We also talk about realistic smog depictions, time travel and bird migrations, which is good fun. As you’ll see, the team dreams of hippos in the Nile. All of the Flight Simulator gameplay in this video was based on location requests by you. There’s a list below of where the video goes at different times, so you can check out things pretty fast.

And while this isn’t a MS Flight Simulator review, I think I can safely say that I recommend everyone experiencing this at least once. Especially if you have an Xbox Game Pass for PC subscription. You’d be mad not to try it out. As you’ll see in this Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 gameplay, the world looks real a lot of the time, so this doubles as the ultimate tourism game. And wait until you see those Microsoft Flight Simulator clouds for yourself: they’re better than the real thing.

If you have more questions about Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, do pop them in the comments and I’ll do my best to answer them. We’ve got more videos coming up soon, so let me know if there’s any part of the globe you’d like to see in the next video. Thanks for flying with Rock Paper Shotgun and we’ll hopefully see you again soon.
