Microsoft has announced a landmark milestone for its iconic flying game Microsoft Flight Simulator. As of today, 10 million virtual pilots have played the game. That is quite a feat by any measure, and Microsoft took to Twitter to mark the occasion as well as to thank all the ten million “simmers” who have played the game so far.
