Microsoft Flight Sim on the Xbox Series X

I must have been a good boy last year, because I managed to wangle an Xbox Series X as part of my Christmas present. I got a notification that Shopto had got some in stock so I pounced. The machine arrived on Christmas eve, two days after I’d ordered it, which was most impressive. I’m now going to have to sell the old console and a bunch of other bits and bobs to pay for it. The machine is super. It works a treat and I’ve loaded all my Game Pass games onto it, including Microsoft Flight Sim.

I can’t believe how good Flight Sim looks. And the loading times are pretty speedy so that it is very easy to go for a quick flight during a coffee break. The only slight snag is that I’m having to control the plane with an Xbox controller, but the good news is that the flying skills I’ve picked up from my weekly flying sessions on the PC have transferred across. Although I still managed to plant my aircraft into the runway a couple of times in front of everyone.
