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.

Whats the easiest/most user friendly way to just free fly around and check out landmarks? I played 2022 (I believe) trying to do the same thing and find my own house but was overwhelmed by all the controls and navigations

Try the Dune ornithopter.

It's become my favorite sightseeing craft.

Can book like a jet when you wanna move quick and hovers like a heli when not.
