Now here is something that completely passed under our radar. We’ve already showcased how stunning Microsoft Flight Simulator looks via a number of screenshots. However, we are certain that most of you would like to see it in action. As such, below you can find a video from the game’s May build that looks gorgeous.
This video showcases the game’s amazing volumetric clouds and weather effects. Seriously, these “heavy” clouds and the amazing rain drop effects are a beauty to behold. The game’s environments also look awesome (especially when you are really high in the sky).
In Microsoft Flight Simulator, players will be able to fly highly detailed and stunning aircraft in an incredibly realistic world. Players will also be able to create their flight plan and fly anywhere on the planet. Furthermore, the game will have day/night environments, as well as challenging weather conditions.
Microsoft Flight Simulator let you select different ways in which you can interact with the world and other players. Players will be able to play on public servers in a couple of different ways. Players will also be able to create their own group and interact only with their friends, and decide all of the game’s rules.
As we’ve already reported, there isn’t currently any ETA on when the game will come out. Microsoft targeted a 2020 release, however, it’s safe to assume that we won’t be getting it this year.
Enjoy!

Nice. There’s traffic on the roads even.
Flew over my city to find that in a major urban area, there were buildings and houses coming straight out of the highways. No hate, it’s a very good alpha. I need to check back on it and see if they’ve incorporated tutorials yet.
Playing this game on 5mb internet is gonna be amazing
I’m in the FS beta and this game has a lot of issues. X-plane is much more enjoyable to play. The graphics in the new MSFS are good but there is a lot of places with very low-res textures. Just fly over the mountains in British Columbia (Canada) and you will see. 99% of all European cities and airports are generic and ugly as hell. This game is only good for flying small planes around the most detailed areas.
This is an old video though (May 8th)
