Fly Away Simulation

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is a modern twin-engine, long-haul wide-body airliner built for better fuel efficiency and passenger comfort. The 787-8 is the smallest and lightest, the 787-9 is a longer, higher-capacity all-rounder, and the 787-10 is the longest but has the shortest range. What is the Boeing 787 Dreamliner? The 787 Dreamliner is Boeing's newer-generation wide-body family for medium- to long-haul flying.

In Airbus A320 flight simulator cockpits, the main controls and screens are there to manage flight path, power, navigation, systems and warnings. The key ones to learn first are the sidestick, thrust levers, FCU autopilot panel, MCDU flight computer, PFD, ND and the two ECAM system displays. What are the main parts of an A320 cockpit? The A320 cockpit is laid out in a very Airbus way. Instead of a yoke, you get a sidestick.

No. There is no production Boeing 747-9, and Boeing never introduced an in-service 747 variant under that name. The real aircraft is the 747-8, sold as the 747-8 Intercontinental and 747-8 Freighter. Any comparison with a 747-9 is unofficial, speculative or fictional. Is there a Boeing 747-9? In practical, real-world terms, no. Boeing launched the 747-8 as the final major version of the 747 family, and that is the last 747 model that entered airline and cargo service.

Yes. FSHud can assign you a different runway from the one you expected, and in some situations it may even appear to use the opposite direction from other traffic. When that happens, follow the active ATC clearance, then immediately rebrief, reload the approach, and confirm the airport is actually operating that runway. Why can FSHud give you a different runway? FSHud is trying to manage traffic flow, spacing, weather and runway use, not simply stick to the runway you loaded before departure.

FlightGear does have default keyboard controls, but there is not one perfectly universal list for every install. Core bindings are usually there for pitch, roll, throttle, gear, views and pause, while some keys vary by version, operating system, aircraft and any custom input profile you have already saved. Common default FlightGear keyboard controls If you are looking for the defaults most desktop users rely on, the table below covers the core bindings you will meet in a standard FlightGear setup.

To set up and save control profiles on the Turtle Beach VelocityOne Flightdeck, we recommend treating it as two separate jobs: save a device profile on the Flightdeck or its configuration software, then save a control profile inside the simulator. If you skip either layer, bindings often look correct but do not load properly later. What actually gets saved? This is the part that catches most people out.

To set up a Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS for general aviation flying in Microsoft Flight Simulator, create a dedicated GA control profile, bind the stick to pitch and roll, assign the throttle levers to engine controls, tune sensitivity for smoother handling, and add rudder pedals or an alternative rudder setup because the Warthog stick has no twist axis.

To make FSX look and feel more realistic, we recommend a balanced mix of better display settings, believable weather, improved scenery and aircraft, sensible traffic levels, and more natural camera and control tuning. The key is smoothness. A slightly older-looking sim that runs cleanly feels far more real than FSX pushed so hard that it stutters. What makes FSX look old in the first place?

To uninstall an aircraft add-on in Microsoft Flight Simulator, first work out how it was installed. If it was a manual Community folder add-on, delete its package folder. If it came from an external installer, remove it there. If it was installed through the sim’s own content system, uninstall it from the in-sim library or content manager. How do you remove an aircraft add-on in Microsoft Flight Simulator? The safe way is to match the removal method to the installation method.

Yes, but not as a native mobile app. Microsoft Flight Simulator does not have an official Android, iPhone or iPad version you install and run locally. On mobile devices, the practical way to play is by streaming it from the cloud or from your own PC or Xbox, and the experience depends heavily on your internet connection and controller setup. Is there a Microsoft Flight Simulator mobile app? No official standalone mobile edition exists in the same sense as a normal phone or tablet game.
