Belong Gaming Arenas Invited a Real Pilot to Try Microsoft Flight Simulator! What did they think?

Microsoft Flight Simulator lets players hop into the cockpit of a variety of planes and take to the skies. When released in August 2020, this game had the whole community wow’ed with its dynamic and living world. Enjoy a sense of freedom and exploration as you head to famous landmarks, your home or wherever you like! Flight Simulator does a fantastic job at creating an incredibly authentic and detailed representation of the world – it is simply breathtaking.

What do real pilots think of Microsoft Flight Simulator?

The game was highly rated when released, but how realistic is the experience to flying a real plane? Belong Gaming Arenas decided to put this to the test. Gathering the best equipment for total immersion, they wanted to see what pilots thought of the game and train Tom on the basics of flying.

Belong invited AirBourne Aviation, a flight training school based in Winchester, to try out the simulation game at the Head Office. Check out the video below to see what they got up to.

Matthew Myatt, Director at Airbourne Aviation, said the game “has real potential for students to learn how an aircraft works and flies”. So, if you’re looking to become a pilot or ever wondered what it feels like to fly a plane, Microsoft Flight Simulator could be a great introduction.
