There is also a nice selection of aircraft (which depends on the version you buy) but all of them will allow you to fly the 2 default helicopters – the Bell 407 and the Guimbal Cabri G2. Just like its predecessor (Microsoft Flight Simulator X – or FSX for shorts), it brings thousands of airports, navigation aids, and everything else you need to fly the world. With MSFS you can fly the world with unparallel VFR visuals.

The flight dynamics are quite good and the team has been improving it over time. The scenery is impressive as is the overall graphics quality. Microsoft Flight Simulator has a lot of very interesting and complex features. Helicopters finally got into MSFS in November 2022, with the 40 th anniversary edition of the sim. Screenshot by community member Damien GazeĪnd so they did. Helicopters were not present from the beginning, and that was a deliberate choice by the team that wanted to add them later as they needed to get the foundation as solid as possible before adding the complex, crazy flying machines into the sim. Funny enough, the team started to call it that way over time too. ![]() Microsoft Flight Simulator or MSFS was released back in 2020 and, therefore, the community started calling it MSFS 2020, although that is not the official name. The new kid on the block, for this year’s article. Screenshot by community member Alwyn Cooper The screenshots without any credits are our own. I would like to thank the community members that sent me their screenshots. If you just want the TL DR part, scroll down to the end of this article. This is a bit tricky for me but, seriously, I am trying to focus on the best options out there and I have to be realistic with what goes on this list. ![]() I have also decided to remove sims that are a bit older and/or are less active, meaning they have not had updates for a long time or are not that relevant. If you are still interested in checking out the pros and cons, you can check out the previous articles, which are linked above. Even if folks are using it (and being sold on Steam), I decided to go with the latest versions of each sim, and MSFS is the last one. You will notice FSX was removed since it was replaced by MSFS (2020). If you are curious about the previous articles, here’s the one from 2016 and you can find the one from 2019 here.
