Microsoft has added an easter egg to Flight Simulator 2020's 40th Anniversary Update that makes it possible to play the first four titles in the series in the cockpit. To activate it, you'll need to start a game in the Diamond DA62 plane and enable the ELT in the cockpit (bottom right of the dash), Redditor HughesMDflyer4 discovered .

From there you can choose between Flight Simulator 1 to 4 at the top of the left display in your virtual cockpit. You can control the games by pressing the buttons at the bottom of the monitor. The sims are fully playable, although due to the small size and slightly awkward controls, it's obviously not the most ideal way to relive the PC classics from the 80s. But if you are bored during a long flight in Flight Simulator 2020, what better way to pass the time than with even more Flight Simulator?

In addition to this easter egg, the anniversary update adds even more nostalgic things , such as a number of classic aircraft (including the Airbus A310-300), airports (for example the old familiar Meigs Field) and missions from earlier parts.
