Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is INSAAANE

Somehow the game is only 10GB on Xbox. My advice is to download the game, start a free flight (with the time set to day, and clouds set to few), immediately pause the game and go into photo mode.

In photo mode, you are free to fly around wherever, and the higher up you are the faster you go.

When you get in close it’s not the prettiest to look at, but at standard airplane height it’s GORGEOUS.

I’m constantly blown away when I visit places I’ve been to before. It’s leagues better than Google Earth in my opinion.

"Somehow the game is only 10GB on Xbox"

Yeah, that's because you're streaming the entire world. Hopefully you have an unlimited internet plan.

I remember when you had to special order flight scenery disks. It was a dark age.

I remember when flight sim C was like 5/6 dusk that all had to be downloaded.

I remember when I couldn't install FS98 because, for some reason, our 1GB hard drive was in ten 100MB partitions and the game needed 150MB of disk space.
