After it first appeared way back in 1986 on the Macintosh, Microsoft Flight Simulator has continued to be incredibly popular, eventually becoming a staple on PC. Nearly twenty-five years later, the simulation software is still going strong, having just revealed gorgeous updates for its United Kingdom and Ireland locales.
The software is showing no signs of slowing down either. A recent report states that Microsoft Flight Simulator will be getting its first commercial passenger jet add-on. A series of YouTube videos show the features that are available in the add-on. The videos also show the level of detail that has gone into it as the player/pilot can be seen doing a full pre-flight check.
The commercial jet in question is the Bombardier CRJ developed by Aerospace. The project manager behind the add-on, Mathijs Kok, recently spoke about how Microsoft’s software has “revitalized” the third party flight simulation development community, saying that creating new content for it has been “exciting.” As a piece of software, Flight Simulator is an extremely impressive and detailed piece of kit, with some comparing its visuals to that of real-world flying.
At the moment, there is no price for the Bombardier CRJ add-on or when it’s likely to be released. In the meantime, developers are looking to bring Flight Simulator to the cloud as well as potentially porting the game over to Xbox Series X|S. Either way, it’s looking like a lot of effort is still being put into it a quarter of a century after first taking to the skies.
Microsoft Flight Simulator is available for PC.
