Dune's iconic ornithopter is coming to Microsoft Flight Simulator on November 3, the same day the new movie is coming to theaters.
Microsoft Flight Simulator is one big download—about 80GB—which isn't surprising since it pretty much contains the whole simulated planet Earth. But at the Xbox Games Showcase we just saw one heck of a good reason to clear some storage space and click that big download button again.
Dune's iconic ornithopter is coming to Microsoft Flight Simulator on November 3, the same day the new Dune movie is coming to theaters. The 'thopter, which flies not with spinning blades like a chopper but by using something more like mechanical grasshopper's wings, looks like it'd be a blast to fly around, especially knowing how deeply detailed the aircraft are in Microsoft Flight Simulator.
And I can't say for sure, but there might be more than just the ornithopter included in the expansion. The trailer above shows the thopter making a pass over a spice harvester, so perhaps there are more vehicles included? Surely... surely they didn't add the entire planet of Arrakis to Microsoft Flight Simulator, did they?
One thing is for sure, there's a lot more coming to the flight sim in the future: another trailer showed off the highlights of Micro Flight Simulator 2024, which you can see below, and it's adding a bunch of jobs.You'll be able to embark on a number of airborne careers, like aerial firefighting, search and rescue, helicopter cargo transport, air ambulance, crop dusting, mountain rescue, aerial construction, VIP charter services, and lots more.
