As detailed in the latest development update blog, it seems the much requested helicopter is planned to come to the game at some point next year. As you can see below, the team put up the most requested features, and helicopter was number 1 by a large margin, and it is listed as planned for 2022. That’s unfortunately all the information we have at the moment, so what this will look like is anyone’s guess, but it seems like they are at least working on getting you up in the air in a different way.

Microsoft Flight Simulator is available now for PC with a Xbox Series X/S version coming on July 27th. You can read more about that edition of the game, specifically how much space you’ll need, through here.

Microsoft has returned to PC gaming in a big way. Not only are all of their once Xbox exclusives made their way to the platform, they’ve revived some classic franchises associated with PC in day’s past that have many very excited. One such franchise is Microsoft’s Flight Simulator. It’s coming back and now we got a new trailer to show off the stunning look of the sim.

The game will features a host of creations of real life airplane’s that’s been licensed. That includes Airbus, Boeing, CubCrafters, Daher, Diamond Aircraft Industries, ICON Aircraft, Robin Aircraft and Textron Aviation. The game will use the Azure AI technology to bring the series to the next level, which you can read all about that through here.

Microsoft’s Flight Simulator will be available for Xbox One and PC sometime in 2020. You can check out the new trailer below, all captured in stunning and incredible 4K.

Outriders

Did you think that Marvel’s Avengers was the only game that would be revealed with no gameplay and fancy cinematics? Think again! People Can Fly finally debuted Outriders, its co-op shooter taking place on a planet with endless dangers. You’ll have a large arsenal of weapons and “powerful gunplay” but there’s not really much else to go off of. It’s out in Summer 2020 for Xbox One, PS4 and PC for what it’s worth but until then, we play the waiting game.

HALO INFINITE

Granted, we didn’t get to see actual gameplay footage of Halo Infinite, but what we did see was rendered entirely in the game’s engine. 343 Industries have built up the SplipSpace engine from the ground up for Infinite, and it’s clear that from a visual standpoint, the final product is going to well worth all that effort.

As if trying to cover every possible base at its E3 2019 presser, Microsoft revealed a trailer for Flight Simulator. The last major title in the flight simulation franchise was Flight Simulator X in 2006. The newest title seemingly hasn’t missed a beat. Check it out below.

Coming to PC and Xbox One, this Flight Simulator runs on Azure cloud artificial intelligence. The trailer’s 4K visuals look equally stellar, but there wasn’t an extensive list of features provided. It’s releasing in 2020 and will be coming to Xbox Game Pass on PC and Xbox One, so we have time to wait.

Other announcements from Microsoft its E3 presser include the unveiling of Project Scarlett, which promises 120 fps and 8K resolution support. Designed with AMD’s Zen 2 and Navi technology in mind, the console will use its solid state drive as a virtual RAM to help cut down on loading times. It’s out in Holiday 2020, with 343 Industries’ Halo Infinite launching alongside it.

Back in the days predating Xbox, Microsoft used to have the best flight sim series on the market with its Flight Simulator series of video games. The series has largely lain dormant now for over a decade, but that hasn’t stopped old fans from yearning about, and wishing for a modern entry.

One of these fans decided to stop yearning and start doing- they took matters into their own hands and, with a user created mod for Paradox’s runaway hit Cities: Skylines, brought the classic franchise to the game.

It’s called Flight Cimulator, and it is available now through Cities: Skylines’ Steam Workshop page.

“What is this? A flight simulator inside a city builder? Yes! Follow your dreams,” the description reads.

The mod is still a work in progress, however, though we are promised more updates that will make it more authentic and realistic in the coming days.
