Microsoft Flight Simulator: decades of flight simulation

It’s been 42 years since the very first version of Microsoft Flight Simulator hit screens all over the world. It revolutionized flight simulation in its day, featuring a complete and functional cockpit replica. That was a huge technical hurdle!

The game has come a long way since then, consistently introducing incredible new features, all in pursuit of a singular goal: to deliver an ever more realistic experience to flight simulator enthusiasts.

Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) marked a real turning point in the franchise’s history. It created unprecedented immersion for pilots with its extraordinarily realistic graphic rendering from Bing Maps satellite images and 3D modelling of big cities. It was the complete package: it was accessible for new fliers AND met the expectations of experienced pilots.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024: A giant step forward in flight simulation.

This new, immersive, ever more realistic iteration introduces revolutionary features while keeping everything that made prior versions such massive successes. Fantastic new features include:

  • Dynamic missions: Brand-new flight missions star in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. Players can now step into the shoes of professional pilots as they take on a variety of missions such as helicopter rescues, firefighting, VIP transportation and much more.
  • Realistic weather and environments: The impact of weather on flights has been completed with extreme weather events and stronger wind effects. Storms, snow and other conditions all affect aircraft behaviour.
  • Advanced career management: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 lets players progress through specific civil and commercial aviation careers. This adds a new dimension to flight itinerary and skills management.
  • Enhanced graphics: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 delivers an even more detailed visual environment. Photogrammetry and artificial intelligence technologies bring you perfectly reproduced cities and landscapes,
  • Multiplayer gameplay optimization: The player community will be able to work together even more easily in group missions, responding to real-time events.

The game will be available on Xbox Series X|S and PC, with enhancements for cloud gaming, allowing a smooth experience even on modestly powered machines.

Gear up to take on the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 experience.

Our experts have listed the best joysticks and accessories to help you make the most of your experience.

Pour les amateurs d’aviation militaire.

Microsoft Flight Simulator is not particularly known for military aircraft. That changes now, with the addition of several iconic models. To fully immerse yourself in your cockpit, here is the setup we recommend:

  • F/A-18C Hornet Hotas Add-On Grip: The stick of choice for virtual pilots looking to push the limits
    of realism in military flight simulation. Inspired by the controls of the
    legendary F/A-18C Hornet fighter, this joystick
    offers unmatched precision and ergonomics. Thanks to its robust design and
    numerous programmable buttons, it gives you total control, ideal for demanding
    missions or complex maneuvers. This add-on is compatible with Microsoft Flight
    Simulator 2024, completely immerses the virtual pilot and
    delivers instant responsiveness, fully engaging the pilot in every flight.
  • AVA Base: Here’s a real gem for flightsim enthusiasts—a next-generation base
    that provides unrivalled precision and responsiveness. Total immersion during
    flight is guaranteed, thanks to its high-precision sensors and robust
    mechanism, whether you fly supersonic flights or tactical missions in extreme
    conditions. It’s entirely designed to enable on-the-fly adjustment of internal
    elements (axis curvature, resistance, travel and damping).

Note: Experienced pilots can now discover our new AVA F/A-18 Super Hornet pack, which includes the AVA base, the F/A-18C Hornet Hotas Add-On Grip joystick as well as the plate and an offset adapter. The perfect combo for military aviation enthusiasts!

Immerse yourself even more: get the rudder control system.

If you have the soul of a pilot and want a more immersive experience, get rudder controls to improve your setup.


Reminder: pilots use the rudder system to control the yaw of the aircraft, i.e., rotation around its vertical axis. It mainly controls the rudder so you can maneuver the aircraft during turns or adjust its alignment, especially during take-off and landing.

T.Flight Rudder Pedals: precise and fluid, they give you optimal rudder control. Their ergonomic design and adjustable resistance adapt to all types of flights, from smooth airliner landings to fast fighter maneuvers.

Thanks to its patented pendular system, it perfectly conveys the sensations of a real rudder. Made from sturdy metal with ultra-precise magnetic sensors, these pedals deliver exceptional durability and frictionless fluidity, ideal for tricky maneuvers as well as aerial acrobatics. The TPR provides total immersion, whether on final approach in a commercial aircraft or in a fighter combat mission.
