MFS 2020 is waving to all "Halo" gamers out there. The simulator experience is looking at its 40 years in the industry. One of its most significant updates is the arrival of the "Halo" Pelican aircraft that is best known for transporting soldiers from HQ to their missions.

It is now giving sim-gamers a chance to pilot this on Earth.

The Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase revealed a new experience for all, and it allows the famous aircraft known for transporting soldiers to fly above the present look of the Earth, different from Halo's worlds. It is important to note that the Pelican is available to fly within the planet and at high altitudes outside it, but it may not visit other worlds.

MFS 2020's 'Halo' Pelican is Coming for Free

According to the event's announcement, the "Halo" Pelican is available for free to all game owners, and it will arrive by November 22 in an update by Microsoft and Xbox. Another feature to come here is to provide support for helicopters, gliders, and other forms of aerial vehicles that are available in the game and will soon come for access.

What More to Do on MFS 2020?

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 is not a game, so there is no story to follow, but it brings an experience that puts people in an open world that mirrors the Earth in its many details. One of its features gives users a chance to feel like they are the pilots in its realistic simulations and aircraft available in the game, regularly getting an update from the company.

All gamers that bought the MFS 2020 are entitled to a free update to the "Game of the Year Edition" experience that puts in different freebie aircraft and other features available for Xbox users. It is a way to get more of the game without paying extra, but terms and conditions apply, especially for Xbox gamers that have it on the console.

There are many things to do during the MFS 2020 experience, and it does not stop at exploring the world and looking at many occasions that bring the public to many places or landmarks. Now, users may go way above the altitudes set for aircraft, as the Halo Pelican may soar above the Earth for an extraterrestrial experience aboard the soldier vessel.
