The gameplay video on YouTube
I tried Microsoft Flight Simulator for the first time. I had this game on my bucket list for a long time but I never got the chance to try it out now I got the opportunity so I'm open to checking the beautiful open world from the sky.
The thumbnail was created in Canva.
As this is a flight simulator and not a normal aircraft racing game, I need to learn many things about flying aircraft from the cockpit. So I should take some flight sessions first, right? Which I did actually.
I chose Flight Training from the homepage and then I noticed there are a total of eight parts for the training session and I started from the very first one which is Basic Controls & Cameras.
The first training lesson was about to get started and I was waiting for it to load but it crashed. No, the aircraft didn't crash but the game crashed and I was sad thinking I might not be able to play the game.
I tried again and this time there was no problem. I had heavy software working in the background and I guess that made the problem. BTW, I was a little disheartened with the graphics at this point as I thought it'd be too realistic with the ultra graphics setting.
I was taken inside the cockpit. At first, the instructor was flying the aircraft and she was Jess. Then Jess started instructing me and gave me the yoke so I could start learning how I could fly the aircraft.
Unlike any aircraft that I have flown in any game before in my whole life, this one is different with a different experience. I messed it up on my first try as I was pressing or pushing everything fast but I should be slow and calm in the cockpit.
I was good the second time and I finished the first session easily where I learned about 1. Aileron, 2. Flaps, 3. Rudder, 4. Elevator.
Then I went for the second training session what is about Altitudes and Instruments, where I learned 1. Airspeed Indicator, 2. Attitude Indicator, 3. Altimeter, 4. Turn & Slip Indicator, 5. Heading Indicator, 6. Variometer, 7. Tachometer.
This session seemed really hard at the beginning as I was hardly understanding about those panels and indicators. But I began to understand them after sometimes and it felt easy after a moment though I crashed the aircraft in this session.
After I finished this second training session, I noticed I had to go to bed as it was early in the morning so I stopped playing flying for the day. I'll finish the remaining training session in my other plays and yeah, I'll show you guys how I'll do.
