Microsoft Flight Simulator has introduced a new free DLC called the Ornithopter, which combines elements of a helicopter and an insect for a unique flight experience. Players can fly the Ornithopter anywhere in the world, participate in challenges, and even embark on a rescue mission set in the world of the upcoming Dune movie.
Microsoft Flight Simulator has introduced a new tie-in free DLC called the Ornithopter, which offers a unique flight experience. The Ornithopter is a hybrid vehicle that combines elements of a helicopter and an insect, resembling a dragonfly. Its wings flap at a high frequency, generating lift for the craft. Visually, it has a distinct sci-fi aesthetic that translates into its flight mechanics.
The Ornithopter flies like a helicopter at low speeds but accelerates quickly and has some sci-fi features. It is equipped with an afterburner for a speed boost when needed. The wings can be swept back to enter a low resistance dive, allowing for increased speed and a visually impressive flight. Conversely, the wings can be inverted to flap backwards, creating resistance and slowing down the craft at an impressive rate.
In Microsoft Flight Simulator, players can deploy the Ornithopter anywhere in the world, utilizing real maps. They can fly it in their own town or participate in curated tutorials, challenges, and a rescue mission set in the world of the upcoming Dune movie. This tie-in is similar to previous collaborations with Top Gun Maverick. However, unlike in Star Citizen, there are no sandworms in the Ornithopter’s environment.
Overall, the Ornithopter is a fun and unique addition to Microsoft Flight Simulator. It offers a different flight experience and a sci-fi aesthetic. Players can download the Ornithopter DLC for free through the content manager. The video encourages viewers to like and subscribe for more similar content in the future.
