Microsoft Flight Simulator VR 2024

Legendary civil aviation simulator got a VR support at last. But without a high-end rig you won't fly even if you're a pilot :(

Strong sides:

Incredible detailing and super-realism
Best of publicly released civil aviation simulators ever, with incredible level of of conformity
VR and touch controller/hand tracking support from day 0
Supports almost any type of controllers and hardware
Extremely detailed satellite maps (with weather and jams in real time) without need to store them on your computer

Weak sides:

Poor performance in VR even with powerful rig. Unplayable in VR on mid-range PC configurations
Really messy launch with 5+ mins of waiting (every time)
A bit overpriced tag

Summary and conclusion:

This is probably the most high-quality and spectacular flight simulator, but the technical requirements are too high for the game. The game's performance is much worse than its predecessor. However, the developer studio reported that they work on game optimization, and they achieved good results in this direction.

Rating: 4 from 5 - recommended, but...
with some limitations
