Flight Simulator is officially back. Microsoft’s longest running product franchise made its return to the skies Tuesday, officially going on sale for Windows 10 PCs.

It’s the first full refresh for Flight Simulator in 14 years and represents a renaissance for a title that served as an early demonstration of the potential of personal computers. The newest game takes advantage of Bing Maps’ global imagery and the Microsoft Azure cloud platform, along with artificial intelligence tech that enables live traffic and real-time weather.

There are three different editions: The Standard Edition ($59.99); Deluxe Edition ($89.99); and Premium Deluxe Edition ($119.99). It’s also available via Xbox Game Pass for PC. An Xbox console version will be released in the future.

Polygon put together a solid beginner’s guide for the new game here.
