Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Steam Edition

Microsoft's legacy in flight simulation thrives with FSX: Steam Edition. Offering unmatched world scenery and aircraft, FSX promises a comprehensive simulation experience. Its distinction from the 2012 "Microsoft Flight" is evident in its depth and expansiveness.

The Steam Edition's charm, rekindled by Dovetail Games, remains unparalleled. Dive into our Steam Edition review or get a taste by downloading the original FSX demo.  You can view our extensive add-ons and mods section for FSX here.

X-Plane

The legacy of X-Plane by Laminar Research is a testament to its robust simulation capabilities. While X-Plane 11 had set the stage with its advanced functionalities and realism, X-Plane 12 takes this legacy forward with even more enhancements, providing a seamless experience across Windows, Mac, and Linux.

From the box, a diverse fleet of aircraft and intricate world scenery awaits exploration. Familiarize yourself with the series through our detailed reviews or by grabbing a demo version.  View the entire X-Plane add-ons section here.

Prepar3D (v4 to v6)

Developed by Lockheed Martin, Prepar3D is another prominent name in the flight simulation arena. With versions spanning from v4 to v6, it offers an immersive and comprehensive flying experience for both professionals and enthusiasts alike. The platform continues to evolve, boasting a plethora of features and optimizations that bring the joy of flying to life.

One of the major advantages of Prepar3D is its backward compatibility with many FSX add-ons. This means that aviators can leverage a wide range of content and expansions originally designed for FSX, ensuring a seamless and enriched flight simulation experience. Fly Away Simulation covers the latest add-ons compatible with both FSX and Prepar3D, bridging the gap between these two platforms.  Delve into our Prepar3D coverage or check out the add-ons that enhance your flight adventures with this simulator.
