Microsoft Game Studios plans to release a special edition of Microsoft Flight Simulator this July, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the invention of powered flight. MFS: A Century of Flight includes 9 historic aircrafts — such as Charles Lindbergh’s Ryn NYP „Spirit of St. Louis, the Douglas DC-3, and the Wright Flyer — and 15 modern aircrafts, including the Boeing 777 and the Robinson R222 helicopter.

After the game’s launch Microsoft will team up with the Experimental Aviation Association and organize a year-long celebration, „Countdown to Kitty Hawk.” A touring pavilion will land in cities throughout the nation, housing a virtual 1903 Wright Flyer with which guests can experience the new Flight Simulator.
