Microsoft Flight Simulator has just received its latest update with the Sim Update 2.
The game is as close as you can get to being in a plane without actually being in one, but now it has gotten even closer.
VR Support
Microsoft Flight Simulator now supports VR (Virtual Reliaty), allowing players to get an even greater experience of flying and being in control of the aircraft.
"The long awaited VR feature is now available for all to play. MSFS VR allows you to play in Virtual Reality using supported HMDs (Head Mounted Displays) and brings a new level of immersion to the simulator."
HOLIDAY SCAVENGER HUNT
The dev team have added holiday lights to 12 iconic landmarks across the globe.
They haven't given any information on which landmarks got the lights, so players will have to jump in and go exploring themselves.
There are also three bonus landmarks with lights, which differ depending which update you install.
