The practice of altering or enhancing the base game experience through user-created content constitutes a significant aspect of the 2020 release of this popular flight simulation platform. This user-generated content can range from new aircraft and airports to enhanced scenery, updated avionics systems, and altered weather patterns. A hypothetical example includes a user crafting a highly detailed replica of their local airport, unavailable in the standard game distribution.
Such community-driven development expands the simulator’s potential significantly, enriching the simulation experience and providing a platform for creators to share their passion and technical skills. It fosters a strong community around the simulator, contributing to its longevity and appeal. Historically, flight simulators have benefitted from community modifications, adding layers of complexity and realism not present in the original product. The 2020 iteration embraces this tradition with comprehensive tools and accessible documentation, encouraging widespread participation.
