The return of the Flight Simulator series is an anticipated one among fans. The game aims to take us high in the air with stunning graphics and recreations of many real life airplanes and airports. Just look at some of the screenshots of this baby and try not to be amazed at how incredible it looks. Like all Microsoft titles, it will also be coming to PC, and today we got the official specs for that. And boy, what a range of different settings.
