Flight Simulator was one of the first PC games that impressed me. Despite the bland graphics and complexity, here was a game that finally gave you total freedom (as long as you wanted to fly). Released four years ago, Flight Simulator X was the last version, and after Microsoft announced the development team behind it was being disbanded, it was assumed the venerable simulator had been put to sleep.

Today they’ve announced its return with Microsoft Flight. The short teaser on their website hints that ‘Simulator’ has been dropped in favor of creating a more emotive product, as it features the lines ‘when I was a child, I dreamed I could fly’. Software doesn’t come much drier than the Flight Simulator series, so maybe a dash of feeling is just what it needs. Check out the video here.
