My Minute of News with Jeff Caplan

Microsoft Flight Simulator


Listen Later

Have you heard about this new version of Microsoft Flight Simulator?   The gaming world is going insane over the jaw-dropping realism.   It just unbelievable.   If you’re not familiar.  If you’re not familiar… in Microsoft Flight Simulator. You’re a pilot.  You fly a plane.  That’s it.
But even pilots admit the realism is jaw dropping.  If you started the game right now… you could fly out of salt lake city… the weather would be exactly like it is outside right now… you could buzz your own house in a 747… or a little Cessna.
But big deal.
If you truly  want a realistic flying experience… I suggest you wait for a new app called Airplane Mode that comes out this fall for PC and Mac
In this realistic game… you’re a passenger on a six hour flight from New York to Reykjavik, Iceland.   The goal is to survive rude passengers… lousy wifi… while you sit  through six long hours… playing online crossword puzzles… watching the clouds drift past …. or the safety video over and over …  it even simulates crying babies…. and the agony of a landing delay.   The goal is to go the distance.  Keeping playing six hours til you land in Rejavick.
The publisher of Airplane mode… says other flight simulators give you high-definition cockpits with billions of switches and dials… but airplane mode gives you a realistically rendered seatback tray table…. and all the real world annoyances that come with air travel.
The only good thing about this game?  When you play on your home computer….  You don’t have to wear a mask.
