Microsoft Flight Simulator has finally landed on our next-gen consoles, like the Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X. Having this game suitable for front consoles to fill your first year of life on PC, demonstrates what the new gene is capable of, and the capacity of Asobo Studio to create a very good port for consoles. If you are concerned about the space issue, the base game occupies approximately 127 GBThis is a very high number, but considering what the game gives us, it is a ridiculous space capacity. The whole world in a size smaller than any other Call of Duty.
Microsoft Flight Simulator put the world in our hands
Although at first glance we may seem very complex, during the first bars of our adventure, the game nwill offer you different simulation options which we can customize as we like. Either because we are beginners or veterans In this genre, we can feel comfortable with the simulation parameters among which we have a choice. Personally, I would choose the next lowest difficulty, to get the orders.
Once this is arranged, we are introduced to two options: go to test flights and “Flying academy(I recommend finishing it before jumping to eat the world) or jumping straight to explore the planet. In the initiation flights we will have complete freedom of movement through places like the Himalayas, New York, Cairo and other emblematic cities that they put us in first demonstration. Don’t worry about him performance of the game, it remains to 30fps the vast majority of the time. The only performance issues I encountered were flying over New York. Just small scratches on the frame, but nothing major that detracts from the gaming experience.
The Flight Academy is the perfect place for beginners
Before making our big leap to the globe, this title provides us with different stages of learning. Between them we can jump without any obstacle, culminating with the landing and take-off of a commercial aircraft, in this case an Airbus A320, which will be our last flight instruction. It will start with the basics and step by step we will progress to landing and take off without the help of our flight instructor. But don’t be overwhelmed by the difficulty of the lessons, they can be completed without a lot of obstacles.
Once that was done, I started making the leap to the planet. And if, the first thing i did was fly over my house, I had the chance to locate it without too much difficulty and it is a very satisfying experience. This is definitely the first thing I recommend doing once you get on the flight for the first time. Flying over areas that we already know also serves to understand the immensity and great work of Asobo, even in less graphically optimized areas.
Graphically the game it is a wonder and I would call it a “graphical miracle” considering the resource demands this game requires. Even seeing how many high powered computers have had issues to be able to take advantage of it in August 2020. The cabin of the aircraft has exceptional details. Plus, reflections, water, and cities look almost real, all thanks to the use of Azure. This tool is undoubtedly the key to the high quality and performance of this majestic video game.
I hope that after having accompanied me in this first condensed impression of Microsoft Flight SimulatorCourage if you have the chance to take flight in this fantastic title that Asobo Studio offers us. An essential and 100% new generation experience. As always, if you want to see more impressions like this, be sure to stop by your home here in the Xbox area.
