The new Microsoft Flight Simulator will be a lot smaller


Take to the skies without leaving your sofa.

The next installment of the franchise will launch on Xbox and PC on November 19th with updates that include new aircraft like hot air balloons and a more realistic looking simulated Earth. Players can enhance their experience by downloading additional aircraft, or installing world updates that bring more details to local scenery and airports, but that can gobble up even more storage. As their skills improve they’ll be able to take on jobs like search and rescue missions, aerial firefighting, and commercial flights, before eventually earning enough virtual money to start and manage their own companies within the game that includes maintaining a private fleet.
