Microsoft Flight Simulator will have helicopters and a race mode this autumn

The developers of Microsoft Flight Simulator have just confirmed at Gamescom 2021 that the game will soon have helicopters, and it seems that fans will be able to try it later this year. Microsoft has announced that in November, Flight Simulator players will discover Volocopter Volocity Air Taxi, a fully electric air taxi to 18 rotors.

Designed and manufactured by German Volocopter, the highly anticipated Volocity will carry both passengers and merchandise in overcrowded modern cities. As seen on the manufacturer's website, the Volocity, which is a vertical take-off and landing electric machine, will have a redundant triple system. This may be his reputation as one of the safest cells in the world.

One of its most famous characteristics is mechanics that allows its 18 rotors to work together to stabilize this helicopter form vehicle during the flight. _The rotors keep you at level, said Neumann. It does a lot of this stabilization work that is actually difficult with a real helicopter.

Asobo Studio's developers would be a lot of trouble to refine the Volocity flight model in Microsoft Flight Simulator. Once the team is over, there will be many points along the model that will be traceable in real time.

In addition to this new helicopter flight, Microsoft Flight Simulator will also benefit from air races from the STIHL National Championship as the first major extension of the title. Up to eight players can run, and the aircraft pilots of the Second World War can compete at a vertiginous speed to find out who is the best war pilot of all. Unfortunately, there were no announcements about the official release of the competitive game, but the fans expect it to be launched in the fall. Everything is done technically_, said Neumann. _DONC, we play a ton right now.
