Piloting Virtual Airlines
Virtual airlines operate scheduled ights to most every destination in the
world. Each airline has its own style—some y passenger airliners, others
y cargo aircraft, and still others y beat-up bush planes. Logging time with
a virtual airline is a great way to structure your
Flight Simulator experience. Apply for a virtual
ying job and see if you can pass the test to
earn the captain’s seat. Once you’re hired, you
can download the airline’s aircraft, scenery, and
training materials, and use Flight Simulator to
complete your assigned ights.
To learn more about online Flight Simulator
resources, add-on aircraft, or virtual airlines, read
the article on Expanding Your Hobby in
the Learning Center.
The Next Century of Flight
Celebrate the centennial of powered ight—from barnstormers to Boeing
jets—as you take to the skies with Flight Simulator on your own adventures
into the next century of ight.
