Microsoft Flight Simulator has been many years in the making and is a marvel in itself. Featuring a 1:1 mapping of the Earth, Microsoft Flight Simulator sets out to offer as close to reality an experience of flying as you can get, without setting foot in an actual cockpit of a real plane. The game features real-time weather an even real-time flights based on the location you choose to fly from/to. All this does come at a cost, as the game is not only taxing on your PC hardware, but also your internet. If you turn on real-time weather and flights, you'll need an active internet connection with fast download speeds.
