The release notes the new program is &#8220;powered by Microsoft Azure and Microsoft Flight Simulator,&#8221; and is &#8220;designed to empower pilots and flight training teams with immersive, accessible and customizable tools that elevate pilot learning and readiness.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It won&#8217;t replace the physical flight simulators of yore but instead &#8220;reduce simulator familiarization time,&#8221; as the release notes. It&#8217;s also, to be clear, not Microsoft Flight Simulator\u2014just a virtual trainer that uses the sim as a foundation in some capacity. There&#8217;s a video showing off an overview of the trainer and its associated regimen on <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/services.boeing.com\/training-solutions\/flight-training\/virtual-airplane\" target=\"_blank\">Boeing&#8217;s website<\/a>, and it seems primarily driven by a lesson plan that points prospective pilots in the right direction. It is a little surreal seeing a videogame for ultra-nerds in a sleek, corporate training video, though.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft&#8217;s corporate vice president of manufacturing and mobility Dayan Rodriguez gave an impressively soporific statement at the summit, saying &#8220;Microsoft is committed to accelerating learning while optimizing confidence for pilots with safety at the core. Partnering with Boeing, we are advancing the future of flight by empowering the people at the heart of it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"56068c08-e908-4da9-8833-2972157d766e\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:400px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"Vji3V6i3HDWUHeQ22PrjFL\" name=\"New Project (8).jpg\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/microsoft-flight-simulator-isnt-just-for-nerdy-dads-anymore-boeing-will-start-using-its-tech-to-train-actual-pilots.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-games-2025-upcoming-pc-release-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"56068c08-e908-4da9-8833-2972157d766e\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2025 games<\/strong><\/a>: This year&#8217;s upcoming releases<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/sim\/microsoft-flight-simulator-isnt-just-for-nerdy-dads-anymore-boeing-will-start-using-its-tech-to-train-actual-pilots\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The most recent incarnation of Microsoft&#8217;s long-running flight simulator series is a genuine marvel, whether you fancy yourself an ace pilot or just want to crash spectacularly into the Eiffel Tower.
