First Look — Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 Lands On Xbox
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 dropped on GamePass for Xbox users this past week. After being part of the closed Alpha for the PC release and having logged many many flight hours once Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 was released on PC last fall, I was a little skeptical of a console port of such a technical masterpiece. Having now played it on Xbox I do still have some reservations, but is it sim...

Hands On With The Virpil MongoosT-50CM3 — The Best Throttle I’ve Ever Used
Flight sims have been some of the most popular games of 2020, including new titles like Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, Star Wars: Squadrons, or even older titles like Elite Dangerous.
