Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 has had a rocky launch, but players are finally able to take to the skies. The game allows you to fly over an astoundingly large recreation of the planet Earth. The game uses cloud streaming and real satellite data to simulate large cities and stunning environments that you can view from overhead.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is highly customizable depending on how you want to play the game. You can turn off the assists to get an authentic flight experience or leave them on to zip around the world for fun. Turn off damage, and you can crash with no consequences except getting stuck upside down on the ground. Want to quickly skip to your destination and sightsee? Slew Mode can help with many situations. This camera mode lets your plane defy physics and suspend in mid-air. You can then maneuver it however you want. Follow this guide to learn how you can enable Slew Mode in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.

The blank space will begin scanning for inputs. Press whatever combination of buttons that you’re comfortable with and is free from other functions. L3 + R3 should do the trick. Save the controller settings to your profile and exit the menu.
