A short list of dumb, dangerous stuff I did in Microsoft Flight Simulator - Polygon

Microsoft Flight Simulator is magical, an engine capable of creating escapism on a global scale.

So, here’s a short list of all the dumb, dangerous stuff that I did during the week I spent in Microsoft Flight Simulator.

The first version of the game that I ever played came out way back in 1988.

I remember taking off from the default airport in Microsoft Flight Simulator 3.0 — Chicago’s Meigs Field — for the first time.

What’s interesting though is that in vintage versions of Flight Simulator, players could actually see their plane crash.

In the new version of Flight Simulator there is no crash animation to speak of.

Additionally, you can damage the plane and that damage will affect its flight characteristics, but you won’t actually see that damage in-game.

Microsoft Flight Simulator arrives for PC on Aug.

This all-inclusive edition of Microsoft Flight Simulator includes highly detailed airports like O’Hare and Heathrow, as well as additional planes for you to fly
