Sure, here’s a rewritten version of the article, in a messy, stream-of-consciousness style:

So, here’s the thing. I had to like, pinch myself thrice — no kidding — to make sure I wasn’t living in some bizarre dream world. But nope, it’s real. Microsoft Flight Simulator’s getting this wild, paid add-on with Jurassic World. Yeah, dinosaurs. What’s up with that? Some folks at Orbx Studios dropped this “Ever wondered what it would be like to step into Jurassic World?” teaser. Talk about being mysterious or whatever. It’s official though, they’re doing this with Universal. Legit happening. Mind = blown.
Now, “step into” might not even be the right way to describe it. More like “fly over” Jurassic World, ‘cause you’ll be in the sky over the Muertes Archipelago. You’re kinda hovering off Costa Rica’s coast, parked just before the 2015 movie kicks in. A little time traveling simulator action, I guess?
But okay, suppose you wanna be grounded for a sec. Orbx says you can explore a revamped ferry port and some swanky international airport. Very VIP vibes, Jurassic-style. They’re saying we’ll see it on PC between August and September. Xbox should get it, too — probably not too far behind. I gotta say, I need to wrap my head around flying over dinosaurs. It’s a lot.
Flight sim diehards who’ve been loyal to MSFS 2020 but moved to the patched-up 2024 version — yeah, they say stuff’s gonna be compatible. Jurassic vibe fits both versions and also wannabe competitors like X-Plane 12. Sweet.
Okay, frugality check — so this thing isn’t free. We don’t know the price just yet, but you’ll need MSFS 2024, whether it’s standalone or through PC Game Pass. You can snag it from Orbx or Microsoft’s marketplace eventually. Oh, here’s an insider tip — “Standard Edition” suffices, so no need to splurge on the Deluxe bundle.
About Xbox — once that happens, it’ll only sit in the MSFS 2024 in-game marketplace. Sound complicated yet? Oh, and speaking of prices, once we know them, it’ll all make sense. Maybe.
Stay tuned, I guess? Hang out on Orbx’s Discord or around their forum if you’re eager for updates — same old story. Prices and other juicy details should surface as we creep into August or perhaps September.
I remember the Pelican from Halo being in MSFS 2020 — a nostalgic blast! Microsoft owns Halo though, so this cross-universe dinosaur escapade? Unexpected, yet thrilling. And I’d say it’s a refreshing break from realism with best joysticks in tow.
Personally, I’m not the biggest Jurassic Park geek — seriously, I like the idea more if it’s affordable. If I won’t go broke, why not daydream flying over dinosaurs instead of gawking at my own cityscape or, I dunno, the Eiffel Tower? “Life finds a way,” or at least it might if life’s budget-friendly. Otherwise, we might all just stick to the usual flight paths, dinosaurs or not.

Hope this captures the chaotic, human touch you needed!
