Microsoft Flight Simulator: Reno Air Race

2021 still hold PVP races in the Microsoft Flight Simulator and also the first vehicle that is not a plane.

The Microsoft Flight Sinulator is graphically impressive and a really strong flight simulation. But there is a big criticism: it is too little video game in it. Apart from a few land manufacturers, there are no playful elements so that people are also virtually in the air, which the pure fascination is not sufficient on flying in the long term. This fall, developer Asobo Studio rates something that could help in this regard: an extension around aircraft race.

It has succeeded in winning the Reno Air Racing Association as a partner. She organizes the annual National Championship Air Races in the US state of Nevada. This is the fastest motorsport in the world. The aircraft reach top speeds of up to 800 kilometers per hour. In the Microsoft Flight Simulator you can soon clamp yourself behind the wheel of such a machine and compete against your friends in races. More details have not yet mentioned Asobo, there is no concrete release date yet.

Yesterday's Xbox Gamescom Showcase has also been announced that a cooperation with Volocopter is entered. This is a German company that develops an EVTOL air taxi. Exactly that vehicles will soon control them in the Microsoft Flight Simulator and it represents the first step towards the implementation of helicopters. The release is scheduled for November.

No longer so long would you have to wait for the fourth World Update. That had to move Asobo again, but on September 7, it finally seems to be published in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. You expect several 3D cities in Germany and the same upgrade also get Basel, Graz and Vienna. There are also about 100 new Points of Interest and replicas of several airports, such as those in Lübeck, Stuttgart and St. Gallen. There are also new exploratory flights, landing challenges and Bush Trips. At the same time, the Junkers Ju-52 appears at the in-game shop, a German machine from 1930, also lovingly called Aunt Ju. It forms the starting point for a series of aircraft, which bears the name Local Legends and revolves around vehicle, which are well known in their homeland, but internationally less.
