Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020

This game is the new and next generation of video games. The graphics are based on real-life images from Bing satellite images. If you do not have a high-end computer, SimNation highly suggests turning down your shadows and your draw distance. Two if you have them about mid-setting or higher, your frames for your computer will drop significantly*. The weather comes from Mateo Blu, which is a little delayed but is based on real-time weather which is then put into the game. There is real-life traffic that is based on Flight Aware. So if you wanted to, you could follow an aircraft from real life along with its route. This feature can be turned on or off in your game settings. Microsoft also promised to work on this game until 2030. So it makes Spartansfan95 wonder if this game will be the next flight sim training. The game is available in 3 versions, Standard, Premium, and Premium Deluxe. If you buy the standard version, don't worry you can get the add-ons as you play. If you have Xbox Game pass, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 Standard is included. One way you can see how this game runs on your computer, then we suggest getting Xbox Game pass, downloading the game, seeing how you like it and if you enjoy it, either using Xbox Game pass or buying the version of the game that best fits you. If you want to learn how to fly and see what pilots go through (which can be relaxing at times) then this is a game we suggest you purchase. You can buy the game on both the Microsoft Store and Steam Client. This flight simulator really shows how gaming has come a long way and what we can look forward to in the future.

X-Plane 11

X-Plane 11 is a flight simulator game that originally came out in 2016. If you go through sites and look for some add-ons, you can find some pretty good ones. One of the mods that SimNation strongly recommends if you do pick up a copy of this game would be the B737-800X, This plane has a lot of time put in and the scale that the creator made it to is unbelievable. 

Recommend Add-ons:

  • Smart Co-Pilot (for Multiplayer)

  • AviTab 

  • AutoGate

  • Terrain Radar

  • Fly With Lua (Xplane.org)

  • B737-800X (Xplane.org)
