If you haven't played yet Microsoft Flight Simulator, you are taking a long time, but you should keep in mind that at the moment it is only available for PC, and to enjoy the best experience you will need a powerful computer so that it can handle everything.
Regarding the version for Xbox Series X, Asobo confirmed that they do not rule out launching a compatible version, however, for now they continue to focus their efforts on improving and optimizing the PC version.
