In an interview with PCGamer on Aug. 8, Jorge Neumann, the head of Microsoft Flight Simulator, lifted the lid on the graphical enhancements coming to the game. Given that the 2020 edition was impressive enough, these additions look set to propel Flight Simulator 2024 into the stratosphere. The stand-out reveal gave insight into just how detailed the game will be, with the ability to land on every ship on Earth in real-time, with their exact positions coming through transponder signals.

The result is uber-realistic environments where the world is your oyster, giving you a clean slate to do what you want.

Landing four years after its predecessor, Flight Simulator 2024 is kicking things up a notch with uber-realistic environments. Though that isn't new to the franchise, exiting the plane and exploring areas likened to a \"first-person shooter\" certainly is\u2014and it's resulted in Flight Simulator 2024 surging up my list of the most anticipated titles coming this year. In an interview with PCGamer on Aug. 8, Jorge Neumann, the head of Microsoft Flight Simulator, lifted the lid on the graphical enhancements coming to the game. Given that the 2020 edition was impressive enough, these additions look set to propel Flight Simulator 2024 into the stratosphere. The stand-out reveal gave insight into just how detailed the game will be, with the ability to land on every ship on Earth in real-time, with their exact positions coming through transponder signals. It doesn't stop there, though, as you can exit your plane and walk around to explore what Neumann described as a \"first-person shooter\" environment\u2014and this is merely a drop in the ocean on how in-depth these additions are. Flight Simulator 2024 includes \"hundreds of species of animals\" alongside every oil rig and lighthouse. The result is uber-realistic environments where the world is your oyster, giving you a clean slate to do what you want. Flight Simulator 2024 has been on my radar for a while, particularly with the addition of hot air balloons, firefighting, and other jobs. These may provide missions and scenarios for a more casual player like myself to tackle rather than strapping in for a long-haul flight. The latest reveals have increased my excitement tenfold, and I'm now counting down the days until Flight Simulator 2024 launches on Nov. 19.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Flight-Simulator-2024-Hot-Air-Balloons-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1309989"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2203"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1309989"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1309989\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1310001,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1309989\/revisions\/1310001"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1309991"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1309989"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1309989"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1309989"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1309989"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1309989"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1309989"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1309989"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
