The 40-year-old series is still chugging along healthily. In fact, MS Flight Sim is still young enough to reminisce on the good old days, as it introduced a 40th birthday easter egg, allowing pilots to playfour older versionsof the series - Doom-style. To celebrate its 40th, Flight Sim also added in aircraft from another corporate sibling, namely thePelican gunshipsfrom the Halo series. All that’s left is a trip to space, or an actual Halo ring.
