Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) Full Review!

After 14 long years, a new version of Microsoft Flight Simulator is finally here! How does it compare with its previous iterations, its competition, and reality? As a newly minted real-life commercial pilot myself, I was anxious to see how well it compares to the real world it claims to simulate. Microsoft has promised every single airport in the world, advanced flight modeling and weather effects and realistic, satellite-based scenery. Does it keep those promises? Let's find out! I do anticipate editing this description as questions/concerns pop up! In case you're wondering, here are the specs of my PC: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X NVidia GeForce RTX 2060 Sabrent Rocket 1TB NVMe PCIe SSD 16GB RAM Happy to answer questions in the comments! Any FAQs, I will probably add here or in a pinned comment. 00:00 Intro 03:08 Menus and options 08:55 Setting up a flight plan (IFR) 11:30 Departing from an airport 15:58 The world and its airports 19:53 IFR approach 22:37 Stupid stuff #1 - landing in front of my house 26:10 Stupid stuff #2 - landing a 747 at Lukla 28:53 Weather 32:20 KFRG comparison with my previous videos and real life 33:27 Autopilot discussion 39:57 747 at Lukla again and conclusion
