About Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 builds an expansive aviation simulation around the idea of flying with purpose. You can launch a career anywhere on the globe, gaining experience, growing your reputation, and earning certifications that open the door to authentic activities such as Medevac, Remote Cargo Ops, Aerial Firefighting, and Search and Rescue, all the way up to the role of an Airline Passenger Transport Pilot, with a virtually unlimited supply of missions spread across the planet.

Beyond the career path, there is plenty to test your skill. The new Challenge League mode pits you against other pilots, while dozens of Activities range from Rally Races and Precision Landings to Low-Altitude challenges. You can compete in the iconic Red Bull Air Races and the legendary Reno Air Races, including new Roswell courses, or become a World Photographer, traveling the globe to capture natural vistas and famous landmarks in your travel book.

Underpinning it all is a significant leap in simulation technology. An enhanced physics system supports more than 10,000 rigid-body surfaces, allowing virtually any aircraft shape to be simulated, while soft-body physics handle cloth, ropes, balloons, and more. Improved ground and water handling raise the level of realism further, and highly accurate aircraft systems, including electrical, model modern aviation in fine detail for PC pilots.
