Necessary. This game is complicated as hell for some.
It tends to be as intensive as you want to make it. The FSX tutorials felt more comprehensive though. Take offs, landings, level flight, flying the pattern, VOR navigation, learning to taxi, ATC communication, IFR flight. These feel barely enough to get you in the air, but I guess that's good enough for a broader audience.

Is it possible to learn how to fly a real plane just by playing this game? :lupe:

People say no, but I think you can get really damn close or make you very well informed at the least. That's contingent on having used detailed planes and treating things like you mean it. You won't have the feeling of how the plane moves around but you'll know most of what needs to be done :yeshrug:. For the dudes out there logging thousands of hours, I think they would be very comfortable trying to get their PPL.

Yes but you have to actually build the flight simulator the game is just the software

there's others on PC like Xplane people use to learn too



all those controls he has in this video are the actually panels from the real cessna 172 and you can practice air traffic control

the game isn't meant to be played on xbox its a PC game
