Microsoft Flight Simulator
Microsoft Flight Simulator, made by Asobo Studio and published by Xbox Game Studios, brought the series back in 2020 with the whole planet to fly over, built from Bing Maps data and streamed from the cloud, along with live weather and air traffic.
Free World Updates refined the scenery region by region and Sim Updates added features such as VR, while studios such as Orbx, Aerosoft and ST Simulations built a large catalogue of aircraft, airports and cities for it. Here we follow those updates and add-ons. For the 2024 successor, see its own page.
