On the topic of Microsoft Flight Simulator, VideoGamesChronicle recently shared some hilarious details of the game, when it was first demoed. In the report, Jorg Neumann, Head of Microsoft Flight Simulator opened up about one of the instances that took place with Microsoft Gaming CEO, Phil Spencer.

He started off by telling the interviewer about how things went down when he first pitched the title to Spencer. In the very first demo, Neumann presented a 3D demo of flying over Seattle. He also flew over the Microsoft Campus, the very building the two of them were sitting in while the demo was taking place.

Spencer asked Neumann, why was he showing a video of Seattle, and that was the point where Neumann knew that he had him. Neumann stated that the demo was actually taking place in real time, to which the Xbox chief hilariously replied, “No f***ing way”. That’s the moment the team realised that they had something.
