And given the different platforms, controller types and costs involved it can feel like you're actually attending flight school trying to understand all the options available to you. There are a number of different flight controllers (at any number of different budgets) for the game, which will release on PC and Xbox One, with a Steam release for those not picking it up through Game Pass on launch day. The best joysticks and flight sticks are ready for take-off when Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 lands this week, and if you're planning on boarding for its release on August 18 then you might also be considering an upgrade to your cabin instrumentation.
