unlabelledView post →The Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 launch has been a Cyberpunk style disaster. They ditched the offline single player support and made it online only with a thin client that streams everything from Azure. It has.. not gone well.

unlabelledView post →The game is not finished being made as of February 2026, yet they charge full price and call it the '2024' version. I've had a lot of fun, but I do not wish to support the business model of "we'll (maybe) get to that feature eventually." I don't trust that the heavy airline cargo certifications will be delivered (as I've already paid for) until the next game comes out. Then, Microsoft will use this as an argument for never finishing the Career Mode certifications and instead will market the new…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL;DR: If you're patient and willing to bang your head against brick walls at times (like I am), this game *can* be quite fun. If you're looking for a polished flying game with a good career mode experience, I'd look elsewhere. The TL: When this game works, it's incredible, and a lot of fun. When it doesn't... it's beyond frustrating. My main reason for wanting to play this game is because of the career mode. At the time of writing this, I've played 137 hours, gotten every fixed wing…

unlabelledView post →A very good simulator depending on your preference and budget. If you like sightseeing in GA aircraft or helicopters, the base game is very good for that. The photogrammetry is generally excellent, and cities and landscapes are included in the base game for free. Flying small aircraft over amazing landscapes is a lot of fun, I highly recommend it. 3rd party aircraft can provide even more detail and improve the experience even more, but they are completely optional. If you prefer flying…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Have held of on purchasing this game for a long time. Just bought it in November 2025, as I was feeling confident as the people on the subreddit were praising the game and said that the bugs were pretty much ironed out.... .... lol, well I guess there's a sucker born every minute and I'll take that on the chin. Bravo Asobo, Microsoft and the fanboys on reddit; this is a buggy pile of steaming ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Back to MSFS2020 for me.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just go and get your actual pilot's license and fly a real plane, it will be cheaper. Literally everything costs money. I have never seen such a predatory game with the micro-transactions. It is laughable. They are probably currently trying to figure out a way to charge you for reading this review. Total scamware.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love MSFS. I've been playing for years. I wasn't sure about making the jump from 2020 to 2024, but I ended up doing it anyways. I regret it. Everything is a struggle, full of stupid bugs or quirks that make no sense. It's been now almost 2 years and the game is far from an acceptable state. I would have expected for it to at least be at par with 2020, but it isn't. I will not go through the struggle of migrating back to 2020, but if you are in the fence about upgrading or not... don't do it…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There are a few good flight sims out there, but I bought this one with the career as a primary motivating factor. That said, I will base my review on the career for those others like me who are considering this game solely for that reason. If you want to buy this game to enjoy a fun and engaging career flying planes, look elsewhere. The career in this game is a massive and incredibly disappointing bust, and I will explain exactly why that is. For starters, and for what it's worth, it has good…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not Recommended! Career Mode Is Still a Mess :-( I bought MSFS 2024 the day it released, and I paid for the highest-tier version of the game. I really wanted to love it. When it works, it's awesome. The flying, helicopters, VR, graphics, and especially the idea behind Career Mode are exactly what I wanted. The problem is that Career Mode still doesn't reliably work, and they've had since November 2024 to fix this. I've spent way too much time troubleshooting instead of actually…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've always wanted this game and I bought the TM flight stick especially for it. Now I have the standard edition at full price £69.99 I realise what a massive scam this game it. Everything is a microtransaction. Not only that its mad expensive. So disappointed. I know its probably been said millions of times but god I'm gutted.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After spending around 60 hours in the game, I can honestly say the disappointment has been huge. The actual flying mechanics and the feeling of flying can sometimes be genuinely enjoyable, and that is probably the only thing keeping this game from being a complete disaster for me. Unfortunately, almost everything else — especially Career mode — feels extremely unfinished and poorly tested. The biggest problems are the constant technical issues and broken systems. ATC often behaves illogically…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game a full year+ after release is still not worth buying at any price. Do not think about getting this half baked game. Asobo and Microsoft clearly didn't listen to the community and from the seems of it, never will, in terms of what to update and what to fix. Msfs 2024 is barely and improvement over msfs 2020. Nothing about this is a "New release' we basically got the same game with nothing different aside from a career mode and slightly better visuals. Asobo and Microsoft have pumped…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'll mainly be talking about the career mode, as that was the main selling point for me. It started off fine and I was having a lot of fun with it, but after a few hours the cracks started to show. The career mode is super buggy. Flight routes won't work. You'll have a long haul flight of hours, only for the route not to show your destination, and if you manage to find it on your own, it won't trigger that you landed preventing you from completing the mission causing multiple wasted hours.…

unlabelledView post →A diamond in the rough that unfortunately requires a lot of work to turn into a real gem. A disclaimer: I have been having fun in flight simulators since Flight Unlimited 2, I am that old. My first XPlane was version 6 and the first time I saw Microsoft Flight SImulator II was as a kid on Atari and quite frankly I never cared much for it. There are many issues with this sim. The user interface is abysmal, menu controls are the worst I have ever seen and the flight dynamics and systems…

unlabelledView post →not really sure what type of crack these reviews are smoking, though it's clear most of them are fake just like the reddit echo chamber microsoft has turned the flight simulator subreddit into. THIS GAME IS A PIECE OF ♥♥♥♥. Bought it at release, and now a year later I jumped back into it because apparently, finally after 10+ months, a "decent" update was supposedly released. Nope, still as broken as ever, career mode is even MORE broken I'd say, which is 99% of the reason why most of us…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly, I'm terribly disappointed. MSFS 2020 was great. It had issues, but I could've seen it improving over time, as it was promised a decade of support. Then, Microsoft decided to launch this. It felt like a betrayal, but as the release was approaching I managed to become hopeful again. So I bought it, launched it - campaign doesn't work. The main feature that was added works worse than third party mods for MSFS 2020. So I put it back. I've returned after 2 years - campaign still doesn't…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Refunded. My rig can run basically anything on max, but for some reason, MSFS it can't even run on medium properly. Much less on VR. After over 1h of fighting settings and going online for suggestions and solutions, I'm not going to keep fighting faulty software anymore. Especially when all else works fine for all other games, not only flight sims, in and out of VR.

unlabelledView post →The game is good, but it doesn’t live up to MFS20. I bought it for the career mode, and I wish I had not. The missions are repetitive, and the AI voice acting is terrible - I would love to see an option to mute it. Technically, it falls short of what we got in 2020, which is disappointing. In its current state, I don’t recommend this game to anyone who wants to play the career mode. 3/10. Edit: After an additional 26 hours, I still cannot recommend this game. It is hard to believe the game…

Microsoft are just really, really bad at making products. Their anti-piracy infrastructure makes the game useless for paying customers. DO NOT RECOMMEND. Edit: got the game refunded more than a year after buying it. Utterly useless, overly complex bunch of apps and services required to get the game running, and all of them have the MS curse of being buggy,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to love the Career Mode in this game—it was the main reason I was excited to buy MSFS—but the overall logic is fundamentally broken. The latest update just made things worse, crashing on me 3 times today alone. Do not buy this if you expect a working aviation business simulator. Here are the MAIN points I have experienced so far during my 300+hours gameplay. There is more to it, however.. Weird Aircraft Progression & Missing Planes: The fleet choices in Career Mode make…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you getting this for just the free flight, its ok. f your getting it for the career mode - Don't waste your time. The logic is completely asinine. Once you finally get to a point were you start your own company you'll probably fail half the missions if you use a controller due to a weird ass glitch where it causes a rudder hardover to the left that will flip your plane, then the game will fail the mission and make you pay to fix your plane and take away your rep. Because of a bug/glitch…

There are times when the game loads the scenario and it loads the aircraft at the wrong height and drops it in which the game detects as an accident and you end up failing the flight, losing points, and money for repairs. The ATC is still just abysmal.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was able to launch it only once. On the second launch, Microsoft said that my account was locked (which I created specifically for this game) and that I had to prove that I was human. I pressed the button as long as it took, but the result was always: try again. There is no error reporting option, no contact option, solve it however you can. Ridiculous, pathetic.

I spent 20 minutes setting up my flight, another 15 minutes staring at the loading screen, and then immediately crashed into a tree because I forgot to turn off the parking brake. The graphics are so good that my PC started sounding like an actual aircraft engine so much realism absolutely recommend. My GPU is currently somewhere between takeoff and TO/GA. Tried landing a 747 once. The runway was 3,000 meters long. I used all 3,000 meters. Then another 800…

It has so much potential but its just too buggy and choppy to enjoy. the flight planner is also very confusing and complicated.

Nope. Every single issue that was there at the start of 2025 is still alive and kicking. The helicopter side of Career Mode is honestly a disaster. About half of the missions are straight-up unplayable. You can be hovering perfectly still — engines running smooth, no warnings, everything fine — and the game just…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The graphics are the only thing this game has going for it right now. I was excited for the new campaign mode, but it’s borderline unplayable. Nothing is more demoralizing than flying a long, disciplined route only to have the game fail you for no reason while taxiing to the gate. It’s a waste of time. The potential is there, but the bugs are killing the experience.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is at a point now where I would recommend it over 2020, including those that use it for VATSIM/IVAO. Majority of the add-ons now include backwards compatibility (waiting on the PMDG 737NG series), and with the release of the 2024 only A340, I don't think there should be a reason not to switch. The graphics and in my experience performance completely blowing 2020 out of the water, and I have not experienced the game breaking bugs that made me switch back to 2020. For those that…
