My girlfriend who doesn't know what an aileron is - managed to land a Cessna, with ~15kn crosswind, with some advice on how to do it :-) The only reason it's a 9 and not a 10 is because it does lack things like realistic airspace, and because the fog is somewhat pop-in-pop out. This means X-Plane-11 can be used to facilitate excitement with aviation among non-pilots. 'Throttle-and-stick' arcade flying is still possible in X-Plane, if you don't want to bother yourselves learning how to actually operate all the systems on an aircraft.

OTOH, as a game - it's still useable, and can be fun! It's totally possible to just jump into something like a Boeing-747, a B-1 Lancer or the SR-71 Blackbird - already spawned on the runway for you, with all system already activated, and all 4 engines running on idle, so all you need to do is push your throttle all the way forward and pull up once you get some speed - and chances are you will be able to takeoff.

But, the developers of the Global Scenery mod couldn't possibly polish and thoroughly test every single airport in the world! Overall, I believe this is the best realistinc flight simulator for actual pilot practice/training to this day.

In some airports, _some_ of the spawn/starting points are broken - they spawn you on top of a building, or better yet inside it. AI which controls aircraft traffic in this game is somewhat hit-or-miss, depending on the airport. I've bought models of the light general aviation aircraft I fly in real life (Cessna-172, Pipersport Sportcruiser, Diamondstar DA-40), and would say they are modelled pretty damn realistically! I cannot attest to how true-to-life a 747 or SR-71 Blackbird is modelled in this game - but it seems to have A TON of buttons in the cockpit, and things like spooling up/down the APU are modelled realistically. The fidelity of aircraft - depends on where you get each aircraft from (they are sold separately). The _visual_ realism is so-so - meaning you get American-looking streets and trucks on the street in Russian cities -I guess they used one set of assets to fill the entire world. The world quality of Global Scenery mod is pretty damn amazing - I've tried flying in multiple areas, from Los Angeles and San Francisco area to a town in Siberia, Russia - the _practical_ realism (in terms of layout of the roads and terrain) - is amazing. The map weather editor has some GUI buttons become inactive, requiring an alt+tab from and to the application to re-activate the buttons. Both solutions are potentially feasible for semi-professional pilot training and practice. That, or you'll need to have a local hard drive set with all that data. A solution like that would likely be available, perhaps from MS Flight Sim 2020 - when they finally release it with streaming world data in real-time (as you're flying) from a server containing many Terabytes of Googe Earth data. Of course, if one comes in expecting GTA-V level of detail on a map containing the entire planet - they would be disappointed.

Personally I was amazed how the Global Scenery mod contains the ENTIRE WORLD modelled within about a 50Gb download package. I cannot comprehend how R_pilotkostGR says that this game doesn't have good scenery and environment. It doesn't have typical 'game' elements per se, and some might find it lacking in that regard. This is first and foremost - a flight simulator, most useful for training/practice piloting real aircraft.

I cannot I've recently got an actual Sport Pilot license and so I can compare playing this game with flying real single-engine light aircraft. I've recently got an actual Sport Pilot license and so I can compare playing this game with flying real single-engine light aircraft.
