Flight Simulator X
As you may or may not have seen on TV, Microsoft has been advertising the release of Flight Simulator X, the latest version of their very popular flight simulation program. Though I haven’t seen this one on TV, it’s probably my favorite. Everything I have read about the new version points to one word: awesome. There will be over 21 new aircraft in “X”, from ultralights to the Boeing 747-400. It’s also apparent from the TV commercials that they’ve finally made realistic jet-bridges for the major airports. Thank you, Microsoft!
Here’s a snip from the GameSpy review:
There’s no denying that Flight Simulator X is going to be one of the best looking games the PC has ever seen, but it’s nice to see that Microsoft has done more than just slap a fresh coat of paint onto the series. From creating a deeply immersive world to providing more structured gameplay elements, they’ve done a lot to ensure that there will be something for everyone.
