Flight Simulator X transition from Missions to Free Flight

Flight Simulator X transition from Missions to Free Flight - From below of comfortable astronauts chairs inside of modern spacecraft simulator located in modern station

In Flight Simulator X Steam Edition, I just flew the following missions successfully:

  • Tutorial 1-5: Basic training
  • Tutorial 8: Transition to Jet
  • Rome-Naples Airline Run
  • Caribbean Landing

I am just now trying to transition from the Tutorial Missions to scheduled airline runs. Should my experience be enough for transition to airline-style Free Flight, or should I do more missions (and which ones)?

Are there things I will have to observe, that go beyond the missions I flew?

I chose a 32.6 miles EDWB-EDDW low-level (3500ft) VFR via VOR WSR for a small test. I then found that the plane sits on the runway, and there is no radio traffic. Am I expected to initiate radio traffic and ask for takeoff clearance, and how can I enable a computer copilot that would handle radio traffic for me?

Best Answer

  1. press ` to go into the radio panel ( you have to select the radio station)
  2. there is no way you can get a copilot to do it for you unless your in mulitplayer

How do you switch planes in MSFS?

There are two places you can change liveries in Flight Simulator. The first option to change liveries is within your Hangar, which is found in the Profile section of the main menu. Here you can browse all the planes you have available. At the bottom of the screen are several options, including one for liveries.

How do you skip flights on Flight Simulator?

To do this, open the toolbar at the top of the screen, and select Travel To. This will open a window with a visualisation of the various stages in your flight plan - from Take-Off, to Cruise, Descent, Approach, Final and then Taxi. Select the stage you want, and it'll skip ahead.

How do you start a flight in FSX?

Microsoft Flight Simulator (opens in new tab) is an incredibly realistic game, aside from the occasional oddity (opens in new tab) here and there. It simulates the entire planet Earth, at full scale, and that means you can fly between any two points you like in real time.
