Microsoft Flight Simulator's Legacy
The famed Microsoft Flight Simulator is not just simply a game but an experience to pilot an aircraft and go to different locations in the world while getting the feels of commandeering a plane like you are in a real one.
Its latest version was launched back in mid-2020 when gamers had a chance to play it on PC, as well as the newly-released Xbox Series S and X around this time. However, this simulator experience has been available for more than four decades now, giving users a chance to experience what it is like to be a pilot in famed aircraft in the world.
Some gamers were enjoying their flight across the world, but some were unfulfilled, and mods were the answer to spice the game up, particularly by adding a career mode to it.
Microsoft Flight Simulator gave the world opportunities to experience becoming a pilot and flying around in this virtual environment. In this new expansion, "Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024" is venturing to the war-plagued Dune planet, where spice is like gold.
The Dune expansion for Microsoft Flight Simulator will be released on November 3 to coincide with the movie release of "Dune: Part 2." This sequel to "Dune," released in 2021, is the second of a two-part adaptation of Frank Herbert's 1965 novel "Dune."
It follows Paul Atreides as he unites with the people of Fremen of the desert planet Arrakis to win the war against House Harkonnen.
