Asobo is an extraordinary studio - you won't find another team that in ten years would go from creating simple Kinect mini-games and digital adaptations of Monopoly , through developing one of the best medium-budget productions of the past generation (A Plague Tale: Innocence of course ), to finally releasing a technological miracle.
Because it is the aspect of technological magic that makes the biggest impression in Microsoft Flight Simulator . The use of modern satellite maps allowed the creators to fit the whole globe in their game. No baloney, no scaling, no blocked areas - we can fly anywhere, see every city, every mountain, lake, desert, ocean, and you're limited only by our own imagination. Well, and the amount of fuel - but the latter will be replenished at one of the thirty-seven thousand (!) airports available in the game. Mindblowing.
All this while taking care of the realism of the game - whether in the form of a reliable recreation of the machines available in the game and their behavior, or a mapping of the variability of air masses and weather conditions. A paradise for aviation enthusiasts - as well as amateurs, who can have fun thanks to extensive tutorials or a wide range of assistants.
