About these games

Take Off: The Flight Simulator

Take Off – The Flight Simulator is a flight simulation game in which players pilot more than twenty aircraft in an open world or complete over forty varied missions, ranging from air cargo transport to dramatic rescue operations. The lineup includes jumbo jets, seaplanes and a military jet, each with a realistically designed 3D cockpit. Players can establish their own airline and fly to destinations such as New York, London and Sydney, plus 18 more. Challenging conditions such as bad weather and landing after an engine failure are included, and planes can be customized and upgraded.

X-Plane 11

X-Plane 11 is a flight simulator focused on detailed, realistic flying. Players set up and edit flights in an intuitive interface, fly aircraft from 3D cockpits that remain consistently usable throughout, and benefit from realistic avionics, since all planes are ready for instrument flight. The world consists of worldwide scenery and lively airports with pushback tugs and roaming fuel trucks that service both the player’s aircraft and AI planes, while new buildings and roads better simulate European cities. Sound is three-dimensional, and a new effects engine handles lighting, sounds, and explosions.

Aerofly FS 2 Flight Simulator

Aerofly FS 2 is a flight simulator that seats the player in the cockpit of many detailed aircraft and helicopters with animated, interactive 3D cockpits. Flights can be made over the southwestern United States with more than 200 airports, but also above the Golden Gate Bridge or around Alcatraz Island. It relies on realistic flight physics, elevation data and aerial imagery covering the whole world, while terrain, weather, time of day and turbulence can be adjusted. An interactive flight school teaches the basics of piloting, and a route editor, replay system and VR support are included.

Island Flight Simulator

The player takes on the role of a freight pilot who must prove their skills across twelve exotic islands in a tropical archipelago. Transport missions, offered in more than a hundred variants, range from highly lucrative to quite risky. Each island has its own airstrip, which serves as the starting and landing point and as a hub for new transport jobs. Planes can make stopovers at three basic airfields, be parked in three personal hangars and refuelled there. Three different aircraft can be upgraded for speed, sturdiness and fuel capacity. Controls use mouse and keyboard.

Take on Helicopters

Take On Helicopters is a helicopter simulation from independent studio Bohemia Interactive, the creators of the Arma 2 military-sim series, building on more than ten years of simulator development. You step into the role of a civilian pilot: Harry Larkin’s aviation business is only days away from closing, and his sons fight to save the company by taking on contracts and competitors. The game offers an authentic flight model, richly modelled helicopters and cockpits, an open-world sandbox and a mission editor for creating your own scenarios, along with co-op and competitive multiplayer. Its two expansive terrains are based on real-world North American and South Asian data.

SimplePlanes

SimplePlanes is a simulation game in which the player builds aircraft from snap-together parts: assembling a fuselage, fitting engines and wings. You can strap into the cockpit at any time and see how it flies with realistic physics — weight, thrust, lift and drag are computed continuously, and parts can break off under over-stress or impact. Anyone who would rather not build can download free ready-made planes, from WW2 bombers to sci-fi spacecraft, and upload their own to rise from bronze to gold builder rank. Challenges, an unrestricted sandbox and modding support round it out.
