Aircraft Flying Simulator

A few years back, the Microsoft Flight Simulator proved to be one of the most popular programs and now you've got a lighter version called the Aircraft Flying Simulator. Being a pilot is an admirable profession and it makes sense why many would aspire to become one. It's also a very difficult profession that puts the lives of many in the pilot's hands which is why they need to work very hard to qualify. This means a lot of time spent practicing flying on the ground and in the sky. Once they can master that, they'll be taking a step away from the simulator and into the cockpit. But completing digital flights may not be as easy as it seems.

About Aircraft Flying Simulator

Aircraft come in all shapes and sizes but you're going to need to be a qualified pilot before you can fly any of them, even your own. That's why this game is going to teach some of the basic basics that you're going to need to know when flying. It won't cover all of the different mechanics and contraptions that you'll need to handle, just what it's like to be in the sky. A lot is happening to keep the plane aloft and you need to learn what that is through playing and movement. It may be tricky, but thankfully this is just a simulator.

How to Play

Aircraft Flying Simulator is a 3D simulator about flying planes to different destinations using the mouse and keyboard. The mouse can be used to interact with the UI throttle, landing gear button, and yolk on the left, bottom, and right sides of the screen respectively.

Controls

W - Accelerate
S - Decelerate
Up Arrow - Ascend
Down Arrow - Descend
Left Arrow - Turn Left
Right Arrow - Turn Right

The goal is to complete flights by taking the plane safely from one location to another. The flight path will be outlined for you with green trails on either side. There will also be white outline rectangles indicating the preferred height the plane should be to pass through. If you lose control of the plane or mess up the landing, you'll need to try again.

Before you fly, you can choose what kind of plane you'd like to take up into the air. Each one has different stats and you can unlock new ones with coins earned from completing flights. Once you begin, you'll start on a runway and be facing toward your flight path. You can build up speed to take off and then follow the course and outlines toward your destination. You'll need to maintain speed and level to have a smooth flight. After arriving at your destination, you'll be rewarded.

Tips and Tricks

Planes can be difficult to maneuver and you need to control both velocity and tilt to stay in the air. The biggest challenge is landing which you should prep for once the landing zone is visible. Slow down, lower the landing gear, and prepare for careful descent.

FAQs

Is Aircraft Flying Simulator accurate?

Though this is a flying simulator, you should not take the full experience to heart since the conditions set for the flight are nothing like the occurrences that real pilots encounter.

How does Aircraft Flying Simulator compare to Microsoft Flight Simulator?

As mentioned previously, this game is not the most accurate with Microsoft's being leagues above it, however, even that version can't cover all the subtle occurrences of flight.

Is Aircraft Flying Simulator a free simulator?

Even though there's an option to buy new planes with in-game currency, there are no real-world purchases and the game remains free.
