Diamond in NEW MS Flight Simulator

Post by CFIDave »

Microsoft surprised everyone by bringing back Microsoft Flight Simulator -- an all-new version was just announced at the E3 gamer's conference last week; it's going to look incredible with 4K resolution and HDR. It will be available in 2020 for PC and Xbox.

But the best part is the preview trailer shows the DA62 multiple times, including an interior shot with G1000. Obviously somebody at Microsoft must be a big DA62 fan, and this probably means the DA62 will be included in the first release.

Watch the 1.5 minute preview (see if you can recognize four DA62 shots):

Amazing that they got my plane IN my hangar for the simulation.

I hope I can land at Meigs Field again.
