New Microsoft Flight Simulator 2015: A Mixed Bag?

The latest addition to the Microsoft Flight Simulator series has generated a lot of excitement among enthusiasts, but is it worth the hype? As someone who was eager to try out this new simulator, I was initially thrilled to discover that it offered a refund period within two hours. However, my enthusiasm quickly turned into frustration as I realized that the game's quality was not up to par.

The biggest issue I faced was the lengthy download process, which took over 100GB and counted against the two-hour refund period. This meant that by the time I had reached only 10% of the game, I was already running out of time to decide whether or not to keep playing. The fact that Steam's refund policy is limited to two hours also adds to the frustration.

If you're unsure about purchasing this game, my advice would be to hold off until you've seen more of what it has to offer. Unfortunately, the quality of the game doesn't seem to justify the price tag. On the other hand, if you do decide to give it a try, make sure to take advantage of the discounted pricing on Marketplace content available for a limited time.

In related news, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2015 has released World Update XI: Canada, which brings with it new photogrammetry cities, points of interest, airports, and more. This free add-on is available in the in-sim Marketplace, and fans of Canadian aviation will be thrilled to see discounted pricing on a range of content related to the region.

Some of the items on offer include CYWG James Armstrong Richardson Intl Airport, CYKZ Toronto Buttonville Municipal Airport, and CYHZ Halifax Stanfield International Airport. These discounts are available for six days starting September 29th, with savings of up to 66% off the usual prices.

Overall, while Microsoft Flight Simulator 2015 shows promise, it's essential to approach this game with caution. If you're unsure about purchasing, be sure to take advantage of the refund period and try out the game before committing to a full purchase.
