Microsoft Flight Simulator boasts "all the airports in the world"

[Scryder]

I'm really looking forward to playing this. I was a fan of MS Flight Sim many years ago. Bought FSX a few years back, but never got into it as much, think the graphics were too dated for my liking. Assuming the base game is complete and not a money making scheme (via expensive DLC) like a number of other flight sims on the market, think I might enjoy it.

Also considering this will be on the Xbox later on, I look forward to playing on a controller... as I find long games easier to play on a controller. As long as most of the key controls can be mapped across, I'd be happy. I play ETS and ATS on a controller, and have mapped most of the actions to a controller.

I hope there's a time lapse feature, as not looking forward to doing a "realistic" 8 hour flight.

Looking at the videos FS looks awesome, but I am starting to wonder whats included in the base price

Pricing structure is still TBC. There was speculation that it would be subscription-only, but in a fairly recent interview one of the senior Asobo guys seemed to hint that there would be an option for outright purchase too. Of course that still doesn't preclude chargeable DLC though. I guess we'll just have to wait and see...
