Microsoft Flight Simulator: Standard Edition Xbox Series X

The Flight Simulator Standard Edition for Xbox Series X has received mixed reviews from customers. While some users have praised the game's graphics and performance, many have experienced numerous bugs and glitches. One reviewer who has been using flight simulators for 20 years described this version as the buggiest they have encountered. Customers have reported issues with creating and managing flights, including problems with selecting airports and runways using the keyboard, mouse, and controller. Additionally, there have been complaints about the earth globe spinning out of control when trying to use the mouse to select an area. Some users have also mentioned that certain aspects of a flight cannot be saved and that saved flight files can become corrupted, resulting in the disappearance of the menu toolbar and unavailable flight options. Aside from the technical issues, some customers have expressed disappointment with the level of realism in the game. Traffic is described as generic, with cars hovering above the road sideways. The game also lacks visual variety, with trees, houses, and buildings all looking the same. Furthermore, customers have shared concerns about the large file size of the game, with up to 300GB required for download when factoring in updates. In terms of installation and setup, there have been complaints about glitches and frustration. Some users have struggled to install the game, with online complaints suggesting that the installation process often fails. The disk version of the game has also proved problematic for some customers, as it still requires a reliable internet connection and lengthy updates. The documentation provided by the developer has been criticized for being insufficient. Another point of concern is the cost of additional aircraft. Customers have mentioned that if players want more planes beyond the few included with the game, they need to be prepared to spend approximately $20 per aircraft. In terms of the physical product, there have been a few complaints about the disk version not working properly, but it is unclear whether these issues are related to the product itself or user-specific Console problems. Overall, the Flight Simulator Standard Edition for Xbox Series X has significant technical issues and lacks some visual realism, although it does offer impressive graphics and performance. The installation process and additional costs for aircraft may also hinder the overall experience.
