Rated 5 out of 5

I like the vast selection of flight simulations with real places around the world and within the U.S.A. Digital copy of the game was very easy to download and it self-installed flawlessly. After game installation I was up in the sky flying my first destination. I highly recommend this product to anyone who enjoys flight simulators.

I’ve been playing the XBOX standard version since April 2022. I’ve always regretted not buying the Premium Deluxe version because it certainly seemed like more “bang for the buck.” Fortunately, Amazon discounted the Premium Deluxe to just over half the regular price in January. As a digitial download, many have complained that it’s virtually impossible to install, takes forever to download, and/or the product code doesn’t work. I experienced none of that. I’m running it on both my Dell XPS Windows 11 PC and my XBOX Series X. They sync with each other so both have the latest updates and Market Place purchases I’ve made. I use the PC version in concert with Little Nav Map to create flight plans and it’s very easy to upload a PC-generated flight plan to the XBOX Cloud where they show up in saved plans. I’m extremely pleased with this upgrade.

Keep moving if you want a deluxe version of flight simulator. I lost $114 and no program. I want my money back but Novell from Amazon.

I bought this product for my grandson for Christmas. I am a retired air traffic controller, and my son is an active controller for the FAA. My grandson has taken a keen interest in aviation in the last couple of years, and we had downloaded another simulator that he had been using for many months. When we downloaded and installed this program, the difference in image quality, functionality, and all aspects of the true flight experience was remarkable. He loves this program and spends hours on it every week.
The program comes with quite a few plane options that make the experience enjoyable for all levels. My grandson loves to fly commercial jets because he can fly them in and out of the airport where my son is assigned. The visuals for the airport are very accurate; far more so than I would expect.

I had to go to Best Buy and purchase this program because the one that i purchased from amazon didn’t work it kept saying that the program security code was already in use when in fact it wasn’t. i contacted Microsoft + Amazon and NOBODY had a solution nor a means to give me any help, everybody wash their hands and said it’s my problem to resolve after I paid $65.00+. so NO, I’m not a happy camper! and nobody wants to accept any accountability for their created problem and that really SUCKS

Amazon Instructions for Windows 10 missed a couple key points. 1) Once computer is booted into your Microsoft Account on a computer dedicated for this flight simulator installation then you enter the provided code per Amazon instructions. If no complaints about code then a spinner is seen on web browser screen for a while. You can verify that everything went OK by reviewing your recent orders in the Microsoft store. 2) Flight Simulator download/install on PC is then available via logging into your free web based XBOX account. If you don’t have one yet then simply create an account, login to it, and go to your XBOX library. You should be able to start this bundled software downloading and installing now. 3) once working I found that after a reboot that you can start the Flight Simulation App directly from Windows App menu. 4) Before you buy consider that this software is optimal for a more powerful PC with plenty of drive space, faster newer CPUs, a newer more powerful video card. Older or less capable PCs may still work but visual effects are probably seen in lower detail.

I see a lot of bad reviews about NOT being able to download the purchase, I must admit it wasn’t easy. But after the purchase it’s there, you just have to know what your doing !!! I must admit, I am not a computer expert (geek) and it took me a while to figure out how to download this game and eventually I did. Can I explain to another person how I figured it out, NOPE !!!! I just kept clicking and READING !!! It certainly could have been an easier process but, it’s very doable…I believe it’s a BUY !!! And a good value. I recommend this purchase because you WILL receive it and it WILL take a minute to figure it out. So please stop bashing Amazon and Microsoft for your inability’s…
