Key Takeaways:

  • High-fidelity home flight simulators have become increasingly important for pilots to practice maneuvers and maintain proficiency, especially when real-world flying is difficult.
  • Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, praised for its high realism, is launching in the US on August 18th, with a staggered global release to follow.
  • To celebrate the release, Microsoft partnered with Thrustmaster for a joystick giveaway, while Sporty's Pilot Shop is offering tools, tips, and a live demo for the new software.
