It’s the simplest way to get access to what is just an outstanding flight simulator. A $749 Xbox Series X is literally plug and play compared to a gaming PC. Which actually leads me to the most important thing about this release – the Xbox makes the brilliance and fun of Microsoft Flight Simulator so much more accessible. So if your Xbox is at a desk with a large monitor – great, get the gear – I’m told Thrustmaster’s flight controls will work a treat. I’ve got the outstanding Honeycomb Yoke and Throttle Controls, but neither are compatible with the Xbox (yet – here’s hoping).Įven so, if they were, how would I use them? Put a desk in the loungeroom for the controls to attach to? Impossible to recreate a simulator like environment in the lounge room. You see, I’ve approached this as a sit back on the couch with the controller kinda deal. The simplicity of just grabbing the Xbox controller, picking a scenic flight or choosing a random place in the world, then flying around just taking it all in – brilliant.įor me, I’ve found that using the external view of the plan was the most enjoyable experience.
