so I thought it wouldn't be available because it needs connection to MS servers I think? anyway, I was looking at the sites on the megathread and MS flight simulator is available on several websites, like fitgirl repacks, steamrip etc (I assume that's the 2020 version but there is a 2024 one as well on gamebounty). so now I'm actually curious, has anyone tried it? does it work well?

The 2020 version worked just fine and had all networked features enabled. I have no reason to believe the 2024 version is any different, given Asobos sheer incompetence.

    The Fitgirl Repack is the 2020 version. There is a portable version released by Digitalzone (Archive size 9.49GB, based on the online-fix.me p2p release), which works online, but still needs a microsoft account according to release notes (so a burner account is preferable). Haven't tried it, but the Digitalzone portables i did try in the past all worked well so i expect the same here.

    As far as a I know the 2020 version is an old one without the VR capabilities.

    If you want to play airplane simulation and you want to really fly and enjoy flying then I still recommend you to buy the X-plane 12, because it is much closer to flying than the FS. https://www.x-plane.com/
