Microsoft Flight Simulator Trailers Show Vatsim Partnership and History of the Franchise

We’re just days away from the release of Microsoft Flight Simulator, and Asobo Studio released two new trailers focusing on the game.

We get to see a video tracking the history of the franchise all the way back to the first game in 1982. 

The second is more specific and focuses on the partnership with VATSIM. You may have wondered why I was so excited when I first reported about it, the trailer will give you a glimpse of why it’s so awesome and how virtual air traffic control works.

Incidentally, the Vatsim trailer also provides a look at one of the airline liveries tteased today during the Q&A livestream.

You can check both below.
