Microsoft Flight Simulator fans rejoice! A free-to-play version of the classic flight sim, dubbed Microsoft Flight, has been released.

Set in Hawaii, the simulator lets you pick a bird from a range of aircraft including historical beasts and modern beauties. Would-be pilots can build up experience and develop a career by collecting points. Microsoft Flight also lets you undertake challenges and go on adventures.

Although Microsoft Flight can be downloaded for free, expect to fork out for add-ons such as new planes.

So if you’re looking for a bit of simulator nostalgia, dust off your joystick and get flying!
