Jorg takes a field trip to the Udvar-Hazy Center.       I love visiting both of the Smithsonian Air and Space museums.     Visited there when I was just a kid,  and it was the perfect place to fall in love with av.

edit: mention of putting the space shuttle in the sim.

GameSpot's YT channel has 5 million subscribers and 3 billion views. Just for comparison, Flightdeck2sim has about 80.6K and  11.2 million, respectively, which I think is amazing enough and well justified for such excellent videos.

Well done Asobo.

Simulating the space shuttle would not be unprecedented for Microsoft:

You couldn't do a whole lot with Space Simulator, but man I thought it was cool.

 

How about submarine races?

I take my lady friends to the marina every weekend to watch those. We drank 1/2 a bottle of rum and ended up below deck killing time enjoying each other's company waiting for them to start again last weekend. Haven't actually seen a race yet,  but I'm having a blast waiting for them to start every Saturday night.  

Wearing an Alpha Industries flight jacket with a Microsoft Flight Simulator logo on the front?

Nope!

Seeing MS pumping money into the sim like this makes me very happy because it increases my confidence in them supporting it for a long, long time. Admittedly, I have only purchased 3 products for the sim so far. The two airports for where I call home from FSDG and the Fenix A320. Nothing from the marketplace yet but that will change since they seem to be doing better with pushing updates out in a timely fashion (still a lot of room for improvement there). I want to send some more cash directly to them so I'll get the Bae 146 and the Milviz 310 directly from them.

MS has never gone all in on a flight simulator like this in the 40 years of the franchise's existence. I held out hope that they would eventually come back to it when Phil took over but never in my wildest dreams did I think they would come back in such a big way!

I bought all the airports related to mine TFFF meaning TFFR, TLPC, (TFFG and TNCM), TJSJ, TBPB, TAPA, in North america, KMIA And in europe LFPO, I miss CYUL from flytampa, there is also some decent freeware for the other Caribbean islands.

With the Fenix, I’m able to operate some nice Air France flights from the french caribbean islands, but I still need the ATR 42/72 that cruises all over the caribbean, waiting sooo badly on MS or Milviz for that, hope it will come in November. Also that PMDG 737-800  because American Airline literally flood all the region with it departing from Miami.

Anyway, the A310 will allow me to operate all the Air Transat route in the region indeed. 
Also, the Carribean desperately need it’s World Update Asobo, it really deserve it
