Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Steam Edition allows you to control almost any type of air transport. There are 24 thousand arrival points in the open game world to choose from, which you can go to from the very beginning of the game. At the same time, you can choose your own plane, helicopter or jetliner to get to your destination faster. You can also set the time of year, weather and configure many other parameters yourself. In addition, you can choose who to play as in the crew: choose the role of a dispatcher on the ground, a pilot or a co-pilot. In the game, it is important not only how the plane flies, but also how it takes off and lands at the airport, and fuel trucks, luggage carts and much more that can be encountered on the runway can prevent everything from going smoothly.

In Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Steam Edition, the player can not only simply fly from point A to point B, but even take part in one of 4 types of races. In addition to the usual modes, it is also possible to take part in Red Bull races, or the Reno National Championship and many others. Before the very start of the game, you can choose a difficulty level, which will determine how easily and quickly the player can complete the task. In total, the gameplay includes 80 missions, in which you will not only need to perform route flights, but also go to rescue characters or become a test pilot. After completing each mission, the player will be able to review their own results on the leaderboard, and then improve their skills by completing other tasks until they reach the desired skill level.
