New cities, airports, planes and more
Microsoft Flight Simulator’s Game Of The Year edition is out now, bringing with it Update VII and the latest collection of new airports, planes, and prettier cities. It also adds some new features, including an improved weather system, new tutorials and new missions.
Reno Air Races, the game’s first expansion pack, is also out today.

The GOTY edition bundles together all the updates released thus far, but let’s focus on what’s new. There are 8 new handcrafted airports across Europe, 545 (!) presumably not-handcrafted airports across the United States, and five new aircraft including the Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornet, the first military jet added to the game.
You can read more about the update overat the Flight Simulator blog, including its many fixes.
The Reno Air Races expansion interests me a lot less. It’s the first paid DLC for the game, and it adds 40 new, licensed planes designed for sky races. The full package costs a whopping $60, although you can get four planes to race in online multiplayer for the smaller $20. You can also learn more aboutthe DLC in this MSFS blog post.
I don’t mind a high price for an also highly accurate rendering of a niche passion. This will absolutely be some people’s thing, and a lot of effort has evidently gone in to making it, so fair enough. Me, I just want to crash into businesses I feel have slighted me in Brighton.
