Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 – Premium Deluxe SteelBook® Edition – Play on Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC [Digital Code]

Amazing graphics

This is an absolute failure by M$. The XBox app for PC says I have 10.9 hrs in the program, actually that is from launching it and it stopping after the black screen with the circle in the lower corner. only to bring me back to my desktop Those are the ONLY hours I have in the program. I have spent over 3 hours on over 15 or more calls to various support desks, with me giving them lots of information and then not returning ANYTHING. The machine here was built for FS 2024, and exceeds all requirements listed by M$ and XBox. Seems like I will have to get my money back for the purchase. By the way Flt Sim 2002 runs fine on this computer also. Not to mention any other program which I have the install CD for.

I’m new to Microsoft Flight Simulator, as I have always been a PlayStation gamer. But with the announcement of MFS2024 and the promise of a detailed digital Earth to fly around, I purchased my first Xbox just for the occasion. I am NOT disappointed! First flight around the game (after letting the server rush settle) was fantastic! Beautiful graphics. Of course, took my first flight around my home town, and so amazing to see it in all its 3D glory. Can’t wait to dig in more in the months to come!

I'm not sure if we can call it a game, but for me there's nothing better out there that beats this Flight Simulator for a real enjoyment. I don't get tired of flying this simulator at all. There's so many options of aircrafts, airports and situations. It''s Incredible. It may hurt your budget if you don't control your buying impulses as per so many options there are to make this flight simulator real.

My first PC game back in the 80's was Microsoft Flight Simulator 1.0. I've owned them all, and Xplane and I've probably spent 2500 dollars or more on addon aircraft, mods, etc over the years. I'm a flight sim addict.This runs good on my PC. I have an Nvidia RTX 3070 Super GPU and play on medium settings.Their are some extremely annoying bugs in this initial release. I am playing in career mode primarily and have managed to acquire most of the certifications. Some of the aircraft are just plain broken. You will have instances where your pilots head is sticking through the roof, you'll get penalized for exceeding max flap speeds when you aren't even moving... simply deploying 10 degrees of flaps while stationary and you can get dinged for it. The Cessna 172 and the Caravan are modeled fairly well and you shouldn't have too many issues with those. I paid 125 dollars for one of the more premium editions, and I am happy for the extra planes, but a lot of them clearly were not tested out all that well. I guarantee that they will add polish and fix some of the bugs, but am disappointed in their lack of QA on this initial release. I think they must have been more deadline driven than quality driven because some of the bugs are just hilariously bad and glaring defects that should have been resolved. I hope their reputation doesn't take too much of a hit as they iron out the problems, which I am confident that they will.I will update this review after some patches go in, on day 1 (and after a week or so of flying) I can't give it more than 3 stars.

There's no instructions on how to use and the in-game instructions don't help all that much.The simulator is clearly for a PC and not Xbox.Unless you know what you're doing then I wouldn't recommend it.I haven't used it recently, too frustrating. I need someone who knows how to use it to teach me.

The media could not be loaded. It's not much different than the 2020 Microsoft Flight Simulator, yet it's somehow worse. I'm playing on the XBOX Series X and it constantly glitches and freezes. The tower names and frequencies are wrong by over a state away. And their pronunciation of the number 3 as "Tree" is mind numbingly annoying.

I'm a helicopter CFI and use this simulator to do radio work and keep up on my navigation skills, as well as, to just have fun with the different aircraft and challenges that are offered. So far I've had no bug issues, but I do not do any streaming, which I hear is where most issues are with this new simulator.
