This website is the best around, buyers don't listen to bad reviews on people not in the UK, I'm in the USA and have always received my goods in good faith and on time - think it's just people ranting for the sake of ranting who have nothing better to do. Impeccible customer service, and a fabulous site. For a mere $5 a month you get unlimited downloads and access to Forums and this wonderful website, I couldn't be happier and am a power user always downloading and buying via them! So buyer don't be aware, make sure you approach them and see how brilliant this website is! Share it with the world, keep it up FlyAway Simulation!

Great site, appreciate all the work that goes into you site. Many of us are on AS and can't afford all of the great software out there. Flight simulation is a great hobby for those who want to be pilots. Thanks for the opportunity to fly some of the third party addons

Gloster Meteor nose
January 24, 2018

The plane gloster is very good, it flies very well. But you have to "fix" his nose. It is not rounded and fat. Is tapered and slender. Please, a little correction that will make it the best of the best. Sorry, it's for the sake of the aircraft.

I have visited Fly Away Simulation for many years and have always found it the most comprehensive site for Simulation Flying. Always up to date and always something new to catch my imagination. It is my site for simulation stimulation.

Be careful... make sure you cancel your membership after you purchase anything on this site. I asked to be cancelled last year and was told by Fly Away that I was cancelled, but I was not told to remove them from my PayPal account, so a year later, I got another bill for $55, since the membership auto-renewed. While I know this site has some great stuff, this was a shady way to make a buck, and I never even used their products. Also, the reason I signed up was to get the FSCUIP plugin needed to run EZDOK - BUT it didn't work. When I talked with Flight1.com, ( the owner of the FSCUIP plug-in) he said that Fly Away has no authority to sell the FSCUIP and that I had to buy it through him on Flight1. I feel cheated, for sure. Cancel your subscription on PayPal now if you don't want to get hit with a membership renewal of $55.

Dear Cally,

Firstly, I'm sorry to hear of the issues you seemed to have with our service. All of our memberships do indeed automatically renew and this is made very clear when signing up. Of course, you may cancel the renewal at any time. As to why yours renewed after being canceled is something I will look into and ensure this is refunded.

As for FSUIPC - we do not sell this anywhere on the site. I think you may be referring to the free unlicensed version we have in our freeware library. You would still need to purchase a license to use this software to its maximum functionality.

Fly Away Simulation "excells" in ignoring copyrights by facilitating to illegally upload files for further distribution. I discovered at least 43 repaints I have made, which have been uploaded without my explicit permission (violence of copyright). My repeated requests to delete these files from their library were left unanswered. Files are still in the library, unfortunately. Pitch black sheep of the flight simulator community.:-((

Site organization
June 5, 2019

The contents on Flyawaysim.com are old and outdated, most of them don't attract my interest, some of them are incomplete and they created issues in my flight simulator, plus membership fees are a little high and if you're not a paying member of the site, downloads will be very slow.

Adding the add-ons.
March 7, 2018

Whilst the instructions are easy for the majority of simmers, there is a small group, of which I am one, who have difficulty in truly understanding the exact process for a successful adding of a new item. What it be possible to simplify the instructions more?

I enjoy reading news and the variety of downloadable content is amazing. Free download is a little slow but be patient. Or if you prefer you can pay to optimize speeds. Some of the content is not perfect but others are the quality you would expect to pay for...

Since rekindling my FSX skills for flying, have found that Flyawaysimulations.com was the site that I kept coming back to most; either for review or best freeware or just to see latest greatest pictures.

First class
May 3, 2017

Must be one of the best websites if not the best for fsx. As my product code no longer works to reinstall fsx. Mores the pity. I've changed to steam. But not completely happy with it yet. Anyway Fly Away will still be around to help.

I always look forward to my weekly update from Fly Away. 9 times out of 10, there's some gem of a sharerare/freeware add-on that I might have missed - or one that I'd already had but forgot to reinstall after some sim upgrade or other. It's an invaluable service - and very easy to use. Keep up the good work!

As a 87 year old handicapped person, I spend a lot of time flying FSX, and have downloaded many dozens of aircraft. Thanks to Fly Away Simulation I am able to do this. I have installed, and fly daily, everything from early Wright Flyers to the latest jets available. I remove those that I don't like and keep only the best in my hanger file. Only those that look and perform well, do I keep. By far the best looking, and best performing aircraft in my FSX hanger is the F-22 A Raptor. I especially enjoy flying it on GPS/Autopilot, long distances across the U.S.A., and around the world. And when it comes to flying it manually, and landing, it lands as smooth as silk. You will not be disappointed in the Virtavia F-22 A Raptor. It's the Best of the Best!

I get all my addons from Fly Away Sim and enjoy unlimited access to any type of aircraft I could wish for. And mostly for free.
Its my favourite source for my simming needs.
The downloads can be fairly slow and queued as I dont subscribe to pro. But I dont download that many addons to make subscription worthwhile

I have been using and loving flight simulators since Bruce Artwick introduced his on the first Apples. They inspired me to get my private license in 1980. My flight simulator sight of choice has always been Fly Away Simulation since its inception... The greatest variety of aircraft and the most free aircraft, scenary and objects on the Net. Well done Fly Away.. I am more than happy to tell the entire world of your amazing site.
