Microsoft Flight Simulator: Here's What Comes in Each Edition

Put on your aviator sunglasses, because Microsoft Flight Simulator lands on PC on August 18. The game uses real-time satellite data to create an intricately detailed representation of the planet. It's peppered with real-life airports, cities, geographical features, and even traffic and animals. You can fly over your house and see it represented in the game. You can even turn on real-time weather conditions to make the in-game weather match what's happening IRL around the globe. Or you can tweak the conditions however you prefer. Check out our Microsoft Flight Simulator preview for a deeper look at what to expect. Microsoft Flight Simulator is available for preorder now. It comes in three editions, the differences of which are detailed below.
