Today is a big day for Microsoft Flight Simulator, as it sees the release of a major airliner, but there’s more from third-party developers.
First of all, the Boeing 737-800 by PMDG has finally been released. As one of the most popular active airliners in the world, launched by one of the most respected third-party developers, it’s definitely a big milestone for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
It’s available for purchase for $69.99 on the developer’s own store. It’s worth mentioning that the price may feel a little steep for those who aren’t used to flight simulators. In that case, you may consider the -600 variant, which offers the same realism and general feature set for literally half the price.
