It's back!! Since it's first release 38 years ago, the first and best flight simulator is back on the market with a fresh, buggy version for Windows computers, which we tested. We did not try the Xbox version. According to PR materials, the entire world is flyable in VFR (visual flight rules) giving you the ability to fly over real looking terrain in realistic planes. Besides taking up 150 GB of hard drive space and an entire afternoon to download (on most normal connections), this simulator requires a constant and reliable Internet connection in order to access the Microsoft Bing geography database, containing 2.5 petabytes of content. According to Microsoft This includes 2 trillion trees, 1.5 billion buildings, 117 million lakes, plus roads, mountains, cities and airports. When data is missing, the computer simulates the ground and such things as moving traffic. Other features include real time weather and multi-player options, so you can fly with your friends, night/day modes, 20 planes and 30 airports, a level system so beginners can fly, and live weather that includes wind speed and direction, temperature, humidity. There are three versions -- Standard, Deluxe, and Premium Deluxe Editions ranging from $60 to $110. The more expensive options offer more planes and airports.
