What’s more, because it is open source, it is completely free, which is awesome. While it does run on my 2007 Macbook, it is pretty sluggish at times, so I would recommend having something with good graphics and processor. Performance wise, as with everything, the faster your Mac the better. Rather like a pizza, you download the base, and then you can add whatever toppings you want to suit your fancy. It is infinitely expandable, with many different aircraft available to download from the official site, as well as terrain and airports. The main reason this is so great is that it is completely open source. Let’s take a look at one of the best for each platform, Flightgear (Mac), X-Plane (iPhone) and F-Sim Space Shuttle (iPad/iPhone).
What’s more, with the appearance of iOS, this category of game has been transitioned to mobile devices, with considerable success.
Microsoft Flight Simulator X runs on Windows only while X-Plane and FlightGear run on all operating systems (Windows/Linux/Mac).While the classic flight simulator is perhaps slightly less mainstream today than it was several years ago, there is still a huge audience for them. The packages here offer support for Windows, Linux and Mac. If you like the simulators here, please do share on Facebook, Twitter and Google+. This page is one of the most popular on the site because of its nature. Plus, you'll have full speed access to download any of the files in the library such as any aircraft, scenery and tools you may wish to install. Some are demos of fuller simulation packages, such as the Microsoft Flight Simulator X Demo or X-Plane, while others offer the entire package because they are open source such as FlightGear.Īll of the files here are free to download – no registration or subscription is required, however, some of the installation files are quite large so you may benefit from registering for a PRO account (which offers uncapped download speed). Most of them are compatible with Windows, Linux and macOS (or OS X). Listed in this category are a selection of flight simulator packages and games that are free-to-download.
