Microsoft Flight Simulator Game of the Year (GOTY) Standard Edition celebrates all the positive feedback, reviews and awards received, but it’s also a “thank you” to our fans – new and old – who have made Microsoft Flight Simulator such a phenomenon to have . Microsoft Flight Simulator Standard Game of the Year Edition includes 25 highly detailed aircraft with unique flight models and 38 handcrafted airports. This expanded edition introduces Simmer to five brand new aircraft, eight new handcrafted airports, six new discovery flights, new tutorials and weather system updates. The five new handcrafted aircraft in Microsoft Flight Simulator include: • Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornet: Our first military jet and a highly requested feature by the community. The Top Gun: Maverick expansion will be releasing with the film next spring, but we wanted Simmers to have a chance to test their need for speed this holiday. • VoloCity: We have teamed up with the well-known German company Volocopter, which is working on an eVTOL called “VoloCity”, a vision for an urban air taxi. We worked closely with the Volocopter engineering team to develop an authentic version of the aircraft prototype for the simulator. This is our first aircraft capable of precision landings and is a taste of what you can look forward to in 2022 when we intend to launch helicopters in the simulation. • Pilatus PC-6 Porter: This legendary short takeoff and landing (STOL) aircraft is a highly versatile aircraft from Switzerland and has multiple cockpits, cabins and landing gear variants. It is the result of our close cooperation with the manufacturer and the development efforts of the famous developers Hans Hartmann and Alexander Metzger, which has resulted in a great and fun new aircraft with exceptional capabilities in the simulator. • CubCrafters NX Cub: Yakima-based CubCrafters recently introduced a nose wheel option for their flagship CC-19 XCub Aircraft, popularly known as the NX Cub, which we would like to introduce to the flight sim audience to further expand our bush flying and off-airport options to enhance . • Aviat Pitts Special S1S: One of our most popular aircraft gets a single seat option with the release of this aircraft. New Airports – We are adding eight handcrafted airports in Central Europe and the United States: • Germany o Leipzig/Halle Airport (EDDP) o Allgäu Memmingen Airport (EDJA) o Kassel Airport (EDVK) • Switzerland o Lugano Airport (LSZA) o Zurich Airport (LSZH) o Lucerne-Beromünster Airport (LSZO) • United States o Patrick Space Force Base (KCOF) o Marine Corps Air Station Miramar (KNKX) The release of Game of the Year adds information on 545 previously missing airports in the United States. New Missions – Based on the popularity of the recently launched Discovery Flights, we are adding six more locations (Helsinki, Freiburg im Breisgau, Mecca, Monument Valley, Singapore and Mount Cook) to this popular series. New Tutorials – To further enhance the onboarding experience, we are adding 14 new tutorials introducing Simmers to Bush flying (in an Icon A5) and IFR (in a Cessna 172). New Features – We’re also excited to introduce some features that have been highly requested by the community: an updated weather system, early access to DX12, and a developer mode playback system. New Photogrammetry Cities – As part of our ongoing collaboration with Bing Maps, we are pleased to add a number of new photogrammetry cities: Helsinki (Finland), Freiburg im Breisgau (Germany), Brighton, Derby, Eastbourne, Newcastle and Nottingham (UK). ) and Utrecht (Netherlands). Microsoft Flight Simulator Standard Game of the Year Edition will be available as a free update for PC and Xbox Series X|S owners.
