Improved default airport functionality — appropriate dynamic vehicles, jetways etc. Now featured by default where they exist in reality. The built-in GPS support has been upgraded to include Garmin G integrated glass cockpit, select aircraft in the Deluxe version only. Improved and new default aircraft including, for example, an Airbus A Default aircraft systems modeling is rather extensively improved, featuring, for example, APU, fire protection, passenger advisory sign switches etc.
Improved weather system, including better visibility modeling. Revamped multiplayer functionality featuring Shared Skies, a feature allowing multiple users to share the same cockpit. Tower Controller, a feature in the Deluxe version allowing users to simulate local control at many airports worldwide during multiplayer gaming.
Revamped sound system with support for 5. Mission engine allowing creation of dynamic missions with developer control of many simulation variables, sound file playback, AI aircraft traffic etc. Dozens of missions ship with the product, and a mission level editor is expected to be released on-line shortly after release of the main product.
Most of the vintage aircraft that were a key theme in the previous version have been dropped, with the exception of the DC-3 and Piper J Both aircraft are featured in the default missions that ship with the product. The maximum altitude in the game has been increased to ,, feet 30,, m , as opposed to FS's 99, feet 30, m. FSX's maximum altitude is therefore approximately 2.
Camera shake in the virtual cockpit as the aircraft banks, accelerates, brakes, flies through turbulence etc. Realistic flexible wings in some commercial airplanes, the wings flex when the aircraft is going through turbulence, increasing rate of ascent or descending, major plane movements, flaps being fully extended, general vibrations to the plane, etc. An example of an aircraft with this wing movement is the Boeing New water effect which has 3D waves with curled up object reflection according to the wave movements and with sunshine reflection.
Aircraft can cast shadows on themselves. In some missions, extra AI aircraft are included but aren't really included in Free Flight. These aircraft include:. Missions and rewards The inclusion of Missions adds a new facet to the simulation, adding task oriented goals, and encouraging users to fly worldwide, rather than just from their home field.
Pilots earn Rewards for completing various missions, and reaching specific accomplishments throughout the game, in 'Free Flight'. Some of the rewards exist as hidden "easter eggs" to be discovered by pilots. Some missions have multiple and hidden rewards, receipt being dependent on performing additional actions. Earning a postcard for spotting an item of interest. Earning a badge for landing at a special airport i.
Earning a reward for completing a challenge not associated with a mission. Earning a trophy for landing a number of times or the number of airports landed at. In each mission description, a map is included with it. It notes that they are for entertainment purposes. The maps and charts are supplied by Jeppesen.
Unfortunately, in many product reviews, users complained of multiple bugs in the initial release of the pack. One of the bugs, which occurs only in the Standard Edition of Flight Simulator X, is that the Maule Air Orion aircraft used in the mission has missing gauges and other problems, as it is a Deluxe Version-only aircraft.
Downloadable content There are many downloads that both versions of Flight Simulator X can use, ranging from free aircraft and paint jobs to commercial, high-resolution scenery. They may change many aspects of the simulator, such as adjusting the visuals, gameplay, adding new features or content such as scenery objects and modifications. Numerous free downloads are available from community websites and the downloads include, but are not limited to: Civil jets Prop planes Vintage planes Ultralights and gliders Military aircraft New paint jobs for default aircraft Concept proposed future aircraft Add-on scenery Miscellaneous items.

This section covers thousands of freeware downloads and add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator , or as it's more well known within the community, FS FS has been one of the most popular and highly developed flight simulator packages that Microsoft have ever released for PC.
Some users even swear by it, preferring it to FSX. This aircraft is an add-on, not part of the default aircraft set. Because FS is probably the most popular flight simulation package ever released, freeware developers have released thousands of files that can be installed into it. Many users prefer FS to later releases of Microsoft Flight Simulator because it's friendlier on frame rates and can be made to provide graphics equal to that of FSX , but with double the frame rate speed.
Microsoft Flight Simulator was released on 29 July , and ever since that release date, developers have been creating add-ons for it.
FS provided a major leap in terms of environment textures, 3D modeling and weather systems from the previous releases and could be run on almost all of the latest computers at the time of the release date. This differed from FSX because when that was released, thousands of users had trouble running it on their computer systems with problems with frame rates, lagging and such a slowdown that it was almost unusable. FS has stood the test of time, and still now, people are using it and not upgrading to the latest version.
In this section you will find thousands of files that can be installed alongside FS including aircraft, scenery, tools, utilities, vehicles and more. FS Development Update. The team is making good progress on the SDK development. While still in the early stages, the plan is to provide an initial version of the SDK to the 3rd party developer community before the end of the year.
Our goal has been to involve 3rd parties early in the development process, and to give them the ability to influence our priorities and how we author the SDK.
These same tools will be provided to the community in effort Welcome to the brand new Boeing Livery Expansion Package!
Having said that, developers are hard at work on creating mods for this new version. Like all previous versions, we will continue to offer freeware files as they become available. These will like previous versions include aircraft repaints and new base models, scenery expansions such as new airports and reworked airports, utilities and tools. This new section is likely over time to become the most popular on the site.

This was usually the simulator used in commercial simulators and to train pilots for real-world scenarios because it was more customizable in these situations. When Microsoft announced the closure of the ACES studio the team that developed Microsoft's Flight Simulator , the community were more open to change and adopted the use of other simulation packages on the market.
When Microsoft announced the closure, users of MSFS started looking elsewhere for a more advanced or "next-generation" simulator package. X-Plane 9 was the first choice and many users gave it a try. Fortunately for Microsoft users, Microsoft announced the development of "Microsoft Flight", the flight simulator package they would be releasing after Microsoft Flight Simulator X.
