The best flight simulator flights can depend on what you're looking for—whether it's realistic commercial airliners, military aircraft, or just fun scenic flights. Here are a few types of flights that are considered some of the best in flight simulators, especially for a more immersive and engaging experience:
1. Commercial Airliner Flights (Realistic)
- New York (JFK) to London (Heathrow): One of the most iconic long-haul flights. It’s a great option for mastering the Airbus A320 or Boeing 777 in a flight simulator.
- Los Angeles (LAX) to Tokyo (Narita): A transpacific flight that allows you to fly a long route with a commercial airliner. It's great for practicing everything from takeoff to complex airspace navigation.
2. Scenic Flights
- Norwegian Fjords: Fly over stunning landscapes like Norway’s fjords or the Swiss Alps. These are some of the most beautiful areas for VFR (Visual Flight Rules) flying.
- Hawaii (Kauai to Oahu): A short but scenic flight that gives you gorgeous ocean views and tropical landscapes, ideal for a light aircraft like the Cessna 172.
3. Military Aircraft Missions
- F-16 Fighter Jet over Nevada: For a thrilling, fast-paced experience, flying an F-16 fighter jet over the Nevada desert in a combat training mission is a great option. Flight simulators like DCS (Digital Combat Simulator) excel at these types of missions.
- F/A-18 Hornet Carrier Landing: Land on an aircraft carrier, navigating difficult conditions, typically done in DCS World or Microsoft Flight Simulator with added military mods.
4. Challenging Airports and Approaches
- Paro, Bhutan (VQPR): Known for its narrow valleys and difficult terrain, this airport requires precise flying skills, and it’s a popular challenge in simulators.
- Courchevel, France (LFLJ): A short runway on a steep incline, often considered one of the most difficult airports to land at, which requires precise control and landing techniques.
5. Bush Flying
- Alaska, USA: Flying small planes like the de Havilland Beaver in Alaska’s remote wilderness, often in harsh weather conditions, offers a challenge and adventure.
- Papua New Guinea: Narrow, dirt runways in mountainous terrain can make this an exciting challenge for bush pilots.
6. Space Flight
- Kerbal Space Program: If you're into space flight, this is an incredibly popular flight simulator, allowing you to design spacecraft and explore outer space with a mix of physics and humor.
7. Flight Simulator Competitions & Events
- Flight Sim Expo Challenges: Join online events where you can compete with other flight sim pilots, simulating commercial flights or flying through specific challenging scenarios with others.
For any of these experiences, Microsoft Flight Simulator is highly regarded for its stunning graphics, realistic flight dynamics, and real-world airports. For military and combat simulations, DCS World and IL-2 Sturmovik offer unparalleled realism in combat flight simulation.
