Flight simulation developer Orbx and VR headset manufacturer Pimax launched a partnership that will let users jump straight into Jurassic World on Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 or MSFS 2020 when buying a new headset.
The deal is pretty simple: if you purchase a VR headset from Pimax (using the code “orbx” for a 2% discount), you get a code to redeem a copy of the Jurassic World: Archipelago add-on for either Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 or MSFS 2020.
The qualifying headsets are as follows.
- Pimax Crystal Light
- Pimax Crystal Super 50PPD, 57PPD, Ultrawide
- Pimax Crystal Super 8k Sony Micro-Oled
Considering the scenic nature of Jurassic World: Archipelago (which you can check out on our gameplay video, although it’s recorded on a flat screen), it certainly feels like an appropriate way to approach flight simulation in VR.
If you’re unfamiliar with the add-on, it lets you visit six iconic islands from the franchise off the coast of Costa Rica.
You’ll be able to explore Isla Nublar, Isla Matanceros, Isla Peña, Isla Sorna, Isla Muerta, and Isla Tacano, and spot dinosaurs like Apatosaurus, Brachiosaurus, Dimorphodon, Gallimimus, Mosasaurus, Pteranodon, Stegosaurus, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Velociraptor, and more.
That being said, not everything included in the add-on is fictional, as you’ll also be able to enjoy Juan Santamaría International Airport (MROC) serving San José, the capital of Costa Rica.
You can use it as a base to bring tourists heading for the islands on larger airliners, or to ferry them to the islands themselves.
Of course, you’ll also be able to find and explore (from the air and on foot, if you have MSFS 2024) many iconic locations and buildings from the movies reproduced in great detail.
To celebrate the partnership, a trailer has been released, and you can watch it below.
Incidentally, if you need help with the basic controls, we also have a video teaching you how to fly one of the sim’s easiest aircraft around the islands.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is also available for PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5. If you’d like to learn more, you can check out our recent interview with Head of Microsoft Flight Simulator Jorg Neumann.
