Before you explore the air around everything there is to see, check out these essential tips on flying, navigating, and controlling the camera.

Everything you need to know to take off into the sky, stay up there, and land safely is explained in detail in the Flight Training section.

Flight Training covers nearly every concept worth knowing, and its designed to get you up in the sky as fast as possible.

At the same time, it explains a handful of controls that might not be intuitive, especially if youre planning on playing this game with a controller.

These eight and short exercises will familiarize you with basic controls, navigation, and landing.

As youve learned in your lessons, that speed range is fairly good for cruising around a small area.

If you want to cover more ground, youll need a faster plane.

If you plan on sightseeing around dense areas like cities or trying to find where you live, pick a propeller plane with a cruise speed of less than 150 KTAS.

These are good planes to move up to after youve gotten comfortable with propeller planes.

Theyre also a good fit when you want something faster, like when going over larger stretches of land like mountains, large forests, or big lakes.

Both options have quadruple the airspeed of the plane you learned the basics on and can climb to more than three times the altitude.

Both options have comparable speed but handle differently due to their size.

Some airliners have much larger fuel reserves, in case you feel like simulating an intercontinental flight from the comfort of your home computer.

Setting off to the skies above some of the worlds most beautiful sights or even your home is simple, but there are a few things worth knowing first.

Once youve found your location, the map will zoom in on it, allowing you to set it as a departure point or arrival area.

In our guide to finding famous landmarks, we recommend setting Points of Interest as arrival points and locating a suitable departure airport.

However, if you want to stop the action and take a look around, you need to bind your Active Pause function to a key.

With the function enabled, we orientated the external camera (by hitting the View button our Xbox One controller) and set the position of the sun at the right height by changing the weather settings in the toolbar.

Changing these air traffic control settings wont have a major impact on your flight, but theyll allow you to have a little fun with the radio messages you hear while flying.

This makes no real difference, but its nice seeing your name or favorite numbers plastered on the side of your plane.
