Microsoft Flight Simulator

Will MS ever put their Flight Sim software on to the Xbox 360? They could sell it with a proper flight joystick type thing and have an on-screen virtual keyboard instead of a real keyboard. I've never had the patience to sit down and squint at my PC screen to try it but I'm sure I'd give it a go lounging about in front of an HDTV.

There's been no announcements that I know of. To be honest I don't think it would be a good fit or sell well in the console market.

Still a no for 360, Series S and X however..........

I can use my keyboard to play this too?

I think so, but tbh, without proper flight peripherals, it’s just an out and out game rather than a sim.

If you build it, they will come.

What’s a HDTV?

Why would they that console is 15 years old and we now have the S and the new series X.

Edit: just realized it's a resurrected thread from 2008

Oh man I was hoping to play Flight Sim before work but doesn't unlock until 4pm in the UK.

The Xbox version will be in line with the PC version so any World Updates and Sim updates will come at the same time; that means the Xbox game should be up-to date (as of the last one which was Scandanavia); it looks like the Xbox version already has the very latest game updates from the footage I've seen online too.

Can't wait to try this later.

Anyone with a decent flight stick setup?

timmy85 · 27 Jul 2021 at 12:41

Loop de loop on the Xbox controller for me. May try keyboard and mouse, but I expect that will complicate things significantly!

timmy85 · 27 Jul 2021 at 16:02
