Everything that could be seen from the new Microsoft Flight Simulator raises the anxious question of whether the game can still be played with a normal computer or whether a high-end PC is necessary. After all, the Microsoft Flight Simulator not only looks damn chic, but also simulates the whole world, uses real-time traffic data and includes pretty much all airports in the world.
