PC gamers can now download Microsoft Flight for free through the game’s official website. This release is said by the developer to be the result of three years of hard work on the reiteration of the 30-year-old Flight Simulator franchise.
Players who download the title will be able to take up various missions, complete different flying challenges and find hidden aerocaches. Moreover, this game will also give them a chance to fly over scenic environments designed along the lines of the picturesque Big Island of Hawaii. Experience points are also to be earned by building a career through a variety of activities available in the game.
“We’re proud to open the hangar doors and present the future of flying on your PC. Whether you’re a complete newcomer to aviation or an experienced PC pilot, we believe you’ll enjoy flying with us.The release of Flight represents the culmination of three years of hard work and experimentation as we worked to reimagine the 30-year-old Flight Simulator franchise, push forward the evolution of the PC flying experience, and bring the thrill and wonder of flight to whole new audiences,” expressed Joshua Howard, Executive Producer, Microsoft Flight, on the game’s official site.
The free model of the title will only be limited to certain offerings. If gamers wish to explore new territories and access fresh aircrafts, they are required to purchase these contents separately. A dual core 2.0GHz processor, 2GB of RAM, Windows XP or newer and a 256MB card capable of shader 3.0, are the minmum requirements needed to play the game.
