UFOs and other phenomena have intrigued the general public for many years. Ever since the beginning of the Cold War, there has been an explosion in UFO sightings and reports - but what is to blame?

Welcome to Fly Away Simulation. We cover many aspects of flight simulation on this website including the popular series released by Microsoft: Microsoft Flight, Flight Simulator X, FS2004 and of course X-Plane by Laminar Research.
Before you are able to become a virtual aviator, you need a package for your PC or Mac. We feature some great free flight simulation packages that users may download including X-Plane, FlightGear and Orbiter. However, for a true simulation experience with maximum features and expansion options, we currently recommend Microsoft Flight Simulator X or X-Plane from Laminar Research; both can be purchased from our store with worldwide delivery.
The first step is to register for an account with us so that you have full access to the downloads sections along with a full profile in the forums and any comments you make on the website. You don't have to register to post in the forums or comments sections, however to access all of the expansion add-ons and downloads, you will need to register.
Before you can enjoy virtual aviation, you will need to get yourself a flight sim package. There are many out there, but currently the best and most expandable are Microsoft Flight Simulator X or X-Plane.
Microsoft's flight simulation packages have always been the most popular, and not by chance. They feature complete world scenery and many stunning aircraft out of the box. Microsoft FSX is the latest of their simulation series that offers "full world" simulation with a complete experience. This differs from the newer 2012 "Microsoft Flight" game, as this is not a complete package out of the box; it's more of a quick, fun game with no third party add-on support - so for those who want the full experience, we recommend FSX.
X-Plane has always been the professional's choice, it features many advanced functions and ultimate realism. Just released is X-Plane version 10, which is quite possibly the ultimate package there is available. X-Plane runs on Windows and Mac so you don't have to worry about what operating system you run. Out of the box, over 20 aircraft are included and highly detailed world scenery with thousands of airports and airfields.
The Fly Away Simulation downloads directory is one of the biggest and most well organized file libraries there is. The library covers aircraft addons, scenery expansions including mods and downloads for Microsoft Flight Simulator X, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004, X-Plane and many earlier versions.
Most of the expansions include installation instructions to help you install them, however if you are having trouble installing any aircraft or scenery, feel free to visit our forum - you don't even have to be a member to post.
You need a membership to the website in order to download the files from our library, so register here.
