Flight Simulation Software and Programmes

There is various PC based flight simulation programmes which are compatible with FlyBus Virtual Airlines. For members new to simulation and are debating whether or not to join FlyBus, it is important to weigh up the pros and cons to determine which sim is best for you. Current software supported by FlyBus:

X-Plane 11 and 12 - A popular new generation of simulator with superb visuals and flight dynamics. A growing volume of free scenery and pay ware add-on products. A bit more limited on aircraft choice but expanding over time.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 - The eleventh major entry in the Microsoft Flight Simulator series, released in August 2020.

Does it cost anything?

Your next steps to start enjoying a Flight Sim, is to purchase the flight simulator of your choice, as shown above.

You should also invest in a suitable joystick and/or gaming controlling like the Xbox controller as it’s a bit tricky to land an airliner using your mouse and keyboard.

After buying the necessities, you can buy as much or as little add-ons for the game as you can. I recommend looking at flightsim.to (for MSFS) and their XPlane alternative, as they offer lots of free and cool add-ons for both simulators.

To enjoy FlyBus Virtual Airlines and our benefits, there is no cost at all, it’s free of charge.

Why join FlyBus Virtual Airline?

It offers you with an opening to meet and fly with like-minded flight sim fanatics.

It gives you a new element and purpose when flying in your flight simulator of choice.

Being part of a virtual airline gives you the realistic element that you are operating that flight in a FlyBus aircraft for a good reason.

You're operating a flight from an airlines timetable rather than just flying the flight because you feel like it, thereby increasing the realism of your virtual flying experience.
