Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024: What’s New and What to Expect
When Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 was announced, it caught many by surprise, especially given the success of its 2020 predecessor. With such a short gap between releases, the immediate question was: what could be so new so soon? According to Jörg Neumann, Head of Microsoft Flight Simulator, the development team only pushes out a new version when they have something substantial to introduce.
The 2024 version isn’t just a minor update but a huge leap forward, offering new features like a revamped career mode and architectural changes under the hood. Career mode allows players to start their pilot journey anywhere in the world, while also introducing a skill tree and pilot progression system. These features aim to provide a sense of direction and depth that the 2020 version lacked.
