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
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.
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.:-((
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.
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?
Well its Beatles, of cource, but it fits.
I am an FSX simmer pilot for almost twelve years, and i can say your site helped me the most.Its the per-week event for me.
Don't leave the place, your being here is helpful.
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...
Its good to have free addons to play, that is must! Of course Simulations Dlcs are expensive or become the Game expensive but We should know what we want.~
So, its a nice site, several pics from the planes.
I enjoy playing the games and all of the updates, thanks to all the people adding new planes, some of planes and missions are very impressive and enjoyable.
Fly Away Simulation everything need to in hence your flight simulator. Easy to find what you are looking for. Downloads are quick and easy to find what your are looking for, be it scenery, aircraft, panels, I use it for all my downloads.
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.
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
Fly away simulation provides a well sorted selection of FSX and P3D add on´s - a big amount of aircraft and scenery and also utilities. There are fast downloads and very stabile website. Well Done! Go on for it...

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.

Answer: The membership fee is if you want faster downloads. When it comes to any platform understand there are platforms. PlayStation is a platform but it is also a computer for gaming of licensed games, as is Gameboy, Nintendo or whatever. Now in more modern times some games are licensed for cross platforms meaning simply the creator has used licensed computer data and language to do so, kind of why you can't put a 350. Chevy in a Toyota and expect it to function unless you make Major and miniscule changes in alterations. One of the hardest things to learn in Fsx was file placement. Some websites use high-end installers such as Rikoooo. Some only the creator producer of the files do this. Example so you can do it. File C130(files contains. Aircraft, sound, effects.) Right click CUT OVER AIRCRAFT PLACE THAT OVER THE MICROSOFT FLIGHT SIMULATOR FILE AND PASTE. NOW REPEAT THE PROCESS ON EACH OF THE 2 remaining files.DO NOT open the flight sim and install the files as you will be placing the file into the head file and it won't work, or you can take the C130 file and place that into the aircraft /airplane file knowing that's longhand. If you go by the first method it will be fine, even the second but if you don't it will end up like this. Airplane airplane c-130 aircraft sound effects etc... The system won't read. Now the reason for cut and paste is copy paste can be lost. What is good is a new MICROSOFT FLIGHT SIMULATOR IS TO BR RELEASED IN 2020. What platform we don't know, we may be able to use some of the same million add ons or we may have to start on a new journey. I've been with MSFSX since 2007 and I've seen them come and go. I mean after all going from 20000 plus airports in the original program and having over 100000 is alot of work, so take you're time, get used to the file system and know the knowledge base is there, we've lost alot of hair making sure. Any questions post them, you'll find the answer.
Answer: FS2004, in regards to that question there are thousands of downloads for that platform. Most FS2004 if created within the last 4 months or so do function in the FSC AND FSX ACCELERATION platform of course realizing that that graphics and applications may not function perfectly as intended. I have approximately 5700 aircraft and 2450 are in my sim for use. In you want them when you do a search insert fsx downloads fs 2004. Most sites will have them and if so they can be found on each sites search engine. If there's a hello or fixed wing that I want I'll check it out, if it isn't quite what I expect I'll note the aircraft and keep checking. There's a few sites that have nothing but fs2004. I'd identify them for you but that would take the thrill out of the hunt.
Answer: There are a few ways, one is to start the sim, once you use it the prompt will ask you to either insert the keys then or later, no matter what you're going to have to do it. One is to call the number, the other and easier is to take the key it came with. Now if you call make sure you have a LARGE sheet of paper, you will be read many many codes, then you will be reading them back and another code process will start. Now if you have the Gold or acceleration pack you will have to do the same thing,. If you have changed computers or the name of the computer or reinstalled the process will be repeated as with most software. Since Microsoft sold the FSX platform to Lockheed you may have to keycode an internal security file. The directions are online.
Answer: They do, BUT, When in contact be specific about you're contact and have all information and purchase numbers there so they can refer to something. If it's questions about the program and install, generalized they have groups that you can ask and you will get you're answers. Many times the manufacturer or creator is the one to contact.
Answer: Take the disc 1 insert and let it come up on the screen the RUN. It's going to take quite awhile as it's loading 20,000 plus airports and flight paths vectors etc, once that's done it will tell you insert disc 2, follow the onscree. BUT when it says insert disc 2 do not click ok until you've removed disc 2 and placed disc two in the drive. Then hit ok and the disc will start. Once that's complete insert the acceleration disc. If you don't have acceleration nothing will be the same as much of the program relys on acceleration. I'd advise you setup with the internet on so you can verify and get the two downloads like sp2 and fspiuc. If you don't get them there will be an issue. If you have the MSFSX GOLD, YOULL BE OK. I'd advise doing the keycode going in when it asks or you won't be able to use the sim in all of it's glory. Once that's done and everything is complete and verified you'll be on your way to a unique sometimes harrowing journey. It's alot easier now with so many sites and this site in particular will have all of the knowledge base you will need.

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.
