As a seasoned gamer with countless hours logged into flight simulators over the past two decades, I must admit that Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 has truly outdone itself. The addition of career mode, new jobs, and even hot air balloons has given this game an entirely fresh feel. And let’s not forget about the ability to step out of your plane and take in the breathtaking views – it’s a feature that brings a whole new level of immersion to the table.


2024’s Microsoft Flight Simulator experienced a rocky start initially owing to server troubles, however, the game has been steadily improving day by day. A recent patch has rectified several glitches, resulting in a more seamless gaming experience. Those who encountered problems on the first day might want to give it another go now.

In the upcoming version of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, there are numerous enhancements including a career mode, assorted jobs, and novel aircraft such as hot air balloons. One captivating new aspect is the option to disembark from any aircraft you’re piloting. This allows you to appreciate the size of your plane or marvel at natural wonders like the Grand Canyon from a unique perspective. Although satellite imagery can appear peculiar up close, it’s absolutely worthwhile to explore sites such as the Great Pyramids or even your own house.

How to Exit Planes (& Other Vehicles)

To leave your aircraft, search for the closest exit, which should be located either to your left or right depending on whether you’re seated on the corresponding side of the plane. For seats facing towards the cockpit, look for the door handle. If using a controller like an XBOX one, press the ‘A’ button instead. Aircraft with canopies will have latches along their seals. Some planes may also have exits at the rear, located behind the pilot’s cabin. To locate these, you might need to rotate your view around the plane.

As a gamer, when I’m playing Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and can’t seem to locate the manual exit or just need to bail out swiftly, there’s an easy workaround. On my PC setup, I press ‘SHIFT + C’ on the keyboard to take control of my character and jump out of the plane. If I’m using an XBOX controller, I press ‘LB + B’ instead. Interestingly, tapping this combo again instantly teleports me back inside the cockpit. Just remember, for some adrenaline-pumping action, make sure the aircraft is safely on the ground before attempting to exit!
