The default fleet in Microsoft Flight Simulator has been met with both praise and criticism, but the evolution is undeniable. The standard edition includes everything from the tiny Icon A5 light sport aircraft to the massive Boeing 747-8i.

For beginners, the "Assistance" options are a lifesaver. You can start on the runway, turn off damage, and use a simplified "cursor" system that highlights clickable switches in the cockpit.

You can simulate an engine fire, a hydraulic leak, or a total electrical failure to test your emergency checklists.

Furthermore, the 2024 edition dramatically improves the "walking" mode, allowing you to get out of the plane, inspect your aircraft, and board via an animated jetway.
