It is still the same great game from 8 years ago. And with that, using Steamworks, allows for the game’s multiplayer to be updated and enhanced to talk to each other over modern connections. So you should go into this knowing that it isn’t an HD remake, but rather just an update so that modern machines and operating systems can run the game. The terms of the partnership deal do not allow for any graphical updates. After maxing the settings, I was getting 120fps without a problem. As an owner of the original, boxed version, I ran them one after another, and FSX Steam Edition is far superior, allowing it to run at 60fps easily. Dovetail Games has done some great work in getting the game to work on modern systems. Flight Simulator X: Steam Edition is much better than what was released 8 years ago. The game is a true sandbox allowing you to be your own pilot on many types of aircraft.Īt the time of release, Flight Simulator X required nearly a supercomputer to run properly. But you’ll probably have the most fun creating your own flight paths, weather conditions, time of day, and where to take off and land at. These give the game attitude and some neat ways to experiment with different vehicles. There are also missions to take on, such as Search and Rescue and Red Bull Air Races. There are great tutorials that cover different aircraft and different airports. The game does a great job at teaching you how to fly within the game. It added new planes, such as the F/A-18 jet fighter and the Red Bull stunt plane alongside new challenges and missions to take part in. An expansion pack was released in 2007, named Acceleration Expansion Pack. Dovetail Games have taken over the franchise, made some fixes, and have released the newly titled, Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Steam Edition onto Steam for the very first time.įor the uninitiated, Flight Simulator X was the last game from Microsoft Game Studios to be developed back in 2006. If you’re wondering why there is a review for a game that has been out for almost ten years, it is because there is a new publisher, formed via a partnership between Microsoft and Dovetail Games, the developer of the highly successful Train Simulator series.
