« I was extremely skeptical as to whether or not Asobo could capture the lightning in a bottle of 2020’s Microsoft Flight Simulator again – but after Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 took the time to clean up its launch problems and I really got to know its new features, I am once again astonished. It's more than just simulating the experience of flying: you can use it to learn the technical side of how pilots actually fly planes, including the stuff that doesn't involve ailerons and elevators and trim thanks to the EFB and Flight Planner. When I encounter some new term I don't understand, all it does is make me want to learn more so I can fly virtual airplanes on a digital twin of the planet Earth with as much realism as is possible. It's not flawless, with some lingering problems in those new systems and tutorials that are lacking (or worse, nonexistent, making Google a constant companion). But I am still in awe of what's here, and I cannot wait to spend hundreds of hours exploring it. »

« Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 fulfills the promise of being the most true-to-life and detailed game of its kind. »

« Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is unpolished and rough, and can make the entire flight experience frustrating. So why did we fall in love with it? Asobo tries to pursue the future, assembling a sumptuous simulator, an evolution that addresses all the shortcomings of the 2020 release, which was already near perfection. We are confident that the team led by Jorg Neumann will smooth out these rough edges, leaving us with a true masterpiece in our hands. »

« Overall, Microsoft Flight Simulator is an absolute technical marvel when everything is running as it should. While there were significant hiccups at launch, the level of ambition Asobo brought to the table is clear. With numerous challenges, missions, and a vast and beautiful world to explore, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is sure to keep you entertained. While the learning curve for newbie pilots may be steep, Flight Simulator has plenty on offer for beginning players and veterans alike, no matter whether you’re keen to just do some in-flight sightseeing, or embark on a career mode to get all possible qualifications in-game. »

« At 10,000 feet, the line between flight simulator and true video game delightfully blurs. »

« When you take the solid foundations laid four years ago and enhance them with an engaging career mode, the ability to explore an even more detailed Earth, and marvel not only at intricately designed aircraft and their cockpits but also the surrounding environment, you get the most advanced simulator of today. However, this comes at the cost of high hardware demands and reliance on a stable internet connection, which directly impacts the quality of the experience, as well as the practical necessity of investing in a joystick. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 still isn’t a fully accessible game for everyone, but it continues to deliver breathtaking moments. »

« Flight Simulator 2024 is an interesting title not only for aviation enthusiasts, but also for players who want to explore the world from above and admire its beauty. The new title has many attractive features, such as photography, different pilot jobs and new types of aircraft, including balloons and airships. It's just a shame that the game often uploads additional data. »

« I’ve been playing versions of Microsoft Flight Simulator since the early days and the detail and complexity has come along leaps and bounds. Piloting requires a lot more attention to details and precision in controls now compared to early versions but being able to see a fully fleshed out airport rather than a few squares and lines on the screen is a real treat. It is a truly visually stunning game (my son actually looked across at one point and thought I was watching a video)… but it can be quite detailed in controls as well. If you like your sims with a decent dose of realism then this might be up your alley. If you prefer very simple flight mechanics then you might want to give it a miss. Either way I’d recommend checking patch notes for whether you are comfortable grabbing a copy, or at least wait for a sale if you are concerned about game crashes. »

« Techniczny bubel. Ciągle coś nie działa. Piękna ale nie da się grać. Wywala do pulpitu, dźwięk nie działa, zacina się. Tyle czasu po premierze i nadal nie da się w to grać ! »

« Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 was marketed as a major evolution of the franchise, but in practice it feels more like an unfinished expansion than a true next-generation simulator. Despite impressive visuals, the experience is plagued by technical issues that severely impact enjoyment.Performance is inconsistent even on high-end systems, with frequent stutters, long loading times, and occasional crashes. The heavy reliance on online services makes the simulator frustrating to use when servers are unstable, leading to missing scenery, slow downloads, or forced restarts.Many core systems feel shallow or poorly implemented. Aircraft systems lack the depth expected by serious simmers, and flight models can feel inconsistent or unrealistic in certain conditions. The new career-style activities quickly become repetitive and feel more like gimmicks than meaningful gameplay **** user interface remains cluttered and unintuitive, making simple tasks unnecessarily complicated. Controller and hardware configuration is still confusing, especially for users with advanced setups, and key bindings often reset or behave unpredictably.Overall, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 prioritizes visual spectacle over stability, realism, and usability. At its current state, it feels rushed and unpolished, leaving long-time fans disappointed and cautious about its future updates. »

« Incomplete and incomprehensibleWhoever rates this garbage higher than 4 must have been an microsoft bot. I just cant imagine anyone having a good experience with fs24. Yeah the missions can be fun but: Game-breaking bugs, poor performance, mandatory online connection, recycled world from FS2020 with the same bad algorithms (crooked rivers, broken airports, etc ) The career mode feels like a beta where no one thought about gameplay or user experience.Awful AI dialogue and voice acting. At the beginning, it's an absolute grind for almost no progress or credits. 4 hours of flying for practically no money in the **** company mode is confusing, poorly designed, and still lacks a well-structured menu where everything is in one place .No visual damage model. generated AI voices and poor, sometimes pointless, texts with AI (ahh wait i said that already, ups). Random flight **** everything missionrelated I just mentioned (I've mostly flown planes) is even worse with helicopters (imagine having to taxi with a heli and loosing reputation because you cant with a heli......). The electric VTOLs added for advertising purposes are even worse. No proper anti-aliasing, just temporal, which makes instrument numbers blur (DLSS is even worse). i dont know why my text gets **** when i didnt use one foul word »

« wow this game is almost perfect, sometimes bad ground graphics in some area's. And the pricing is a bid high but bisides that its perfect realy much planes airports and every peace of land is renderd. i love this game so much. the career mode is rly good. if u add some add ons its even better ul get real buildings and everything. also ivao or vatsim works rly well with it and makes iteven funner. if u have enough storage and money i should rly buy this. therefore my 9/10 rating. »

« A pile of dog vomit. Boooooooooooooo!!!!!!Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is a joke on the living and breathing people of the world… us! And we paid for it! No one is safe from Adobo’s and Microsoft’s insufferable insistence that it is a simulator, except for the ones who didn’t spend their money on it. Money we could’ve blown on a hooker with chlamydia, or a day or two experimenting with meth amphetamines. Those two choices are “real”. And will give us definitive “real” results. Not this pile, not 2020, not their marketing ploy to sell you 2024 four years later and **** money from you like the aforementioned ****’s a game. And one that is more unpleasurable than a STD, or ruining your family by spending yours and their hard earned money on a promises of a dopamine fix for you only that will lead you and everyone you love wishing you didn’t make those **** is it a game, and not a Simulator as they market it to be? Simple. Microsoft and Asobo want your money. That’s it. Nothing more. And they got **** lacks realism. You know, mechanics, physics and logic… the very things that define “simulators”. I know, I know, it takes money to produce quality products. Shame Microsoft is broke. Wait… are they?How dare I! After all, I spent the money on this “game” too. Perhaps I should just post nice photos of google maps, and tell you that this is breathtaking. It’s not. It’s a pile of dog vomit waiting for the next victim to slip in the brown, smelly, festering, maggot generating aftermath of a failed brain aneurysm surgery on the infected floor that is Microsoft and **** real sadness is in the hearts of those simmers like me, who expected a flight simulator, but were instead served with an expensive dish filled with the remnants of yak intestine smothered in cat urine. Thanks Microsoft and Asobo! I’m certain MSFS 2028 will make Simulators great again! »

« Several months after release and it's still full of absurd bugs that will ruin your gaiming, flying, or training experience. »

« It was one of the most problematic games I've ever seen. That's why I even looked at alternatives. Actually, that's exactly why I'm giving it such a high score. None of the alternatives work as well or as stably as this one. Actually, there are some that work, but they're not as enjoyable. The game has improved a lot with each update. There was a real difference between the updates. Even though it still has some flaws and bugs, I can say that playing the game is still a lot of fun. »

« This is a Beta! Nothing else.. YES it sounds great to do missions all over the world and build ur own company. But I wasnt able to find any aspect of the game that isnt broken. Career mode? Dont trigger the succes, Atc is completly lost and broken. Some planes work, some not. Ap randomly does stupid things or turns of completly. Yes I can get workers for my company but cant tell them what to do, so they ruin me. Yes there is the full world simulated but pls dont look to close: briges under the water, massive holes within taxiways so my planes falls in it (and gave me bad reputation for?!) buildings looks horrible or have trees in it. Its a techdemo in my opinion and this for a full price and nothing is indicating it. This is far away from a finished product and needs at least 1,5+ yrs to be finished. Shame on microsoft and asobo... »
