Microsoft Flight Simulator (or shorthands like FS or  MSFS) is a franchise of programs of flight simulator. However, they have been marketing them as video games for Microsoft Windows. The earlier titles also went to Macintosh and MS-DOS operating systems. They say it is among the best-known, most comprehensive, and longest-running flight simulator for general consumers out there. It belonged to the new product portfolio of Microsoft that has been marking as quite different from other Microsoft's software ( which are mostly business-oriented). With 35 years under its belts, it is the longest-running software of Microsoft's product line, three years older than Windows.  It might also be the longest-running game franchise for PC ever. It also contributes mainly to the usage of aviation-oriented joysticks on PCs for flight simulator nowadays.
