Asobo’s ceaseless expansion of the wonderful Microsoft Flight Simulator continues onward, with tonight’s Xbox showcase some of the new additions arriving before the end of the year – including a significant 40th anniversary update scheduled for November, and, rather unexpectedly, Halo Infinite’s Pelican, which launches as a free update today.
Microsoft hasn’t revealed how the Pelican will fit into the overall Flight Simulator experience just yet, but you can get a gimpse of the ship in the trailer below.
It’s a different story for the free 40th Anniversary Edition update, however, which has been detailed in significantly more detail.
The latter additions include the long-awaited arrival of helicopters and gliders, brought to life with a new Fluid Dynamics Simulation.
