Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 is a flight simulation game with realistic graphics and controls. This not only lets you see what it's like to really fly a plane, but it also has realistic weather, texture patterns and objectives to make the game more enjoyable. There are different planes that you can pilot with this game.

Realistic Details

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 is one of the most realistic flight simulators available. This game uses real-world map data to project a representation of the world as you're flying. This means that all the cities, landscapes, forests and oceans that you'll see are completely real. Not only that, but this consistently updates to reflect actual changes in landscapes.

It's not only the map. You will see real flora and fauna depending on where you are. For example, if you are flying over a certain country, then you will only see plants and animals from that part of the world. Everything is made with extremely precise 3D graphics that make it seem like you're really looking down at the world.

Real Airports

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 allows you to take off from real airports around the world. The game allows you to visit 37,000 different airports. You can choose planes to fly from there and then take off towards your destination. Not only that, but you can visit two million different cities and towns and 1.5 trillion buildings in this game.

Realistic Weather Patterns

As great as it would be to fly on clear, sunny days all the time, this isn't realistic. Real pilots have to navigate thick clouds, powerful storms and strong winds. You'll get all that and more with this game. It looks at current weather patterns for where you're flying and replicate that on the game. If there's a storm in real life, then you can expect to fly through it with your simulated plane.

Not only does it look like real weather patterns, but it also interferes with your flight like real weather. You'll have to wrestle against strong winds and keep your proper flight path through heavy clouds. The weather also interacts with the surroundings below. For example, you'll see trees rustling from wind or animals running from storms.

Objectives and Goals

While flight simulation is fun on its own, it might get boring unless there is a reason to continue. This game offers objectives and goals to keep you engaged. This can be anything from flying a certain client to a designated city or making it safely to your destination despite a heavy storm. The goals will change as you continue playing.

Not only that, but you are graded on how well you achieved the objective. This will get you points that can help you upgrade your pilot's license. A better license means that you can fly bigger and faster planes.

Multiple Planes

This game wouldn't be fun if you were restricted to just one plane. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 gives you many different planes and aircrafts to fly. There are enormous commercial planes, helicopters and even small biplanes. Not only that, but you'll keep unlocking more as you hone your skills and improve your license.

Each plane also realistically reacts to weather, take off and other environmental conditions. This makes it feel like you're really in the pilot's seat.
