Assistance Features in the Microsoft Flight Simulator Marketplace for PC and XBox

Microsoft Flight Simulator has a host of features to help people enjoy flying and sight-seeing with no hassle!

These settings may be changed with product and sim updates.

Note that in the SimMarket editions for PC the settings default to the player's preferences and are totally adjustable.
