Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 (VR)

4/5

Editorial Review

Dec 10, 2024

Pros

  • + Incredible detailing and super-realism
  • + Best of publicly released civil aviation simulators ever, with incredible level of of conformity
  • + VR and touch controller/hand tracking support from day 0
  • + Supports almost any type of controllers and hardware
  • + Extremely detailed satellite maps (with weather and jams in real time) without need to store them on your computer

Cons

  • – Poor performance in VR even with powerful rig. Unplayable in VR on mid-range PC configurations
  • – Really messy launch with 5+ mins of waiting (every time)
  • – A bit overpriced tag

This is probably the most high-quality and spectacular flight simulator, but the technical requirements are too high for the game. The game's performance is much worse than its predecessor. However, the developer studio reported that they work on game optimization, and they achieved good results in this direction.
