This is our first aircraft that can perform pinpoint landings and is a teaser of what you can look forward to in 2022 when we intend to launch helicopters in the sim. We worked closely with the Volocopter engineering team to develop an authentic version of the prototype aircraft for the simulator.

This release brought numerous improvements to the sim including significant performance gains that benefitted the PC audience as well.Īnd the launch was just the beginning. We introduced new features such as Discovery Flights, expanded tutorials, Flight Assistant, Map Labels, and Land Anywhere, that are aimed to assist newcomers to successfully enter the world of Microsoft Flight Simulator.

In July 2021, we launched Microsoft Flight Simulator on Xbox Series X|S and welcomed millions of console players to the flight simulation experience. In addition, we are releasing a special Windows 11 themed livery for the EXTRA 330LT for simmers to add to their collection.

To celebrate the launch of Windows 11, from October 19 th to November 18 th, we have selected 11 landmarks across the globe that will be lit up in “Windows Blue” within Microsoft Flight Simulator.

The core flight simmer audience embraced the new experience immediately and with Xbox Game Pass for PC, a new audience of PC gamers was attracted who had previously never played a flight simulator before. It has been an amazing journey since we launched Microsoft Flight Simulator on PC.
