I find the controls a bit touchy using the standard Xbox Wireless Controller, but I suspect that I will get used to it. Not just the obvious sites, either, but many of the actual buildings in the city. Paris is one of the places for which there is detailed imagery, and while it’s not good enough to pick out favorite cafes amongst the buildings, the level of realism is still amazing. And, if anything, I wish I could go even slower and really take in the visuals. But as a travel fan, I’m impressed with the level of detail in this game, and the ability to fly around well-known locations like Paris is a blast.Īnd so that’s what I’ve done. These days, of course, I tend to stick with Call of Duty and other first-person shooters for the most part.
I’m not a flight simulator fan per se, though I’ve played my share over the years. And when you crash, which I did far too often, the process of getting back into the area is more time consuming than I like. When you first launch Flight Simulator, an installation manager checks for updates, and this process takes a long, long time, as does the initial loading screen. There are some speed issues, too, though not while playing the game. You could easily fill up an Xbox hard drive if this was all you wanted to do. Of course, you really have to work to get there: The game itself is nearly 100 GB big, and World Updates and other more detailed views are all 10s of GBs big too. I’ve not really tested Flight Simulator on the PC, but the Xbox Series X experience is nothing short of astonishing from a graphics perspective. The Xbox Series X|S landed last fall with no unique launch titles whatsoever, but Microsoft Flight Simulator solves that problem nicely, offering nearly the full PC experience on a much simpler set of video game consoles.
