Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is turning final, and one interesting element about it is that Microsoft involved many developers from the community.
Simulation Daily attended a preview event in Arizona, and there we were able to interview Christopher Burnett, Co-founder of Working Title Simulations, and Brandon Yaeger, Founder and Project Lead at Got Friends.
Working Title’s involvement with the franchise is well known, and they have worked on the avionics of many aircraft in the original Microsoft Flight Simulator after massively improving the Cessna CJ4.
Got Friends has been involved with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 developing gliders and bush aircraft.
Both provided some interesting insight into their work on the new simulator, including the highly anticipated flight planning tool that Working Title has helped develop.

Of course, you should keep an eye on Simulation Daily, because there is going to be more Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 coverage on the site over the next few days, including more footage of various features.
Incidentally, we’d like to thank CruiseLevel, who was with us during the interview and allowed us to include a couple of their questions.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 will release for PC and Xbox Series X|S on November 19, 2024. You can find all the editions and the full list of aircraft they come with in our dedicated article.
