Jorg Neumann, Head of Microsoft Flight Simulator said “We have been thrilled and humbled by the support and dedication that has fueled the Flight Sim community for the past 38 years.

Then as you go up, you get more planes and locations to land at included, just be warned, the game is expected to take almost 150gb of HDD space.
