Fliegen lernen

Flying has fascinated humans since the beginning of time. Since the advent of computers, people have been trying to replicate flying on the computer – for training, but also for entertainment and to explore the mysteries of aviation. With the new Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, a new chapter in PC and console flight simulation began in August 2020: never before has the representation of the world been so realistic, never has the simulated weather been so plausible, and never has the simulation been so accessible. However, X-Plane, AeroflyFS, and the free FlightGear are also ideal tools for personal development and virtually exploring our planet. In this book, you will learn flight simulation from the ground up and also discover a lot about aviation itself: Why does an airplane fly? What role does the weather play? How do pilots find their way? What happens in emergencies? These and other topics will be addressed in a practical manner, allowing you to try everything yourself – regardless of which of the mentioned simulators you use.
