I am thankful to have a site like"Fly Away" there are so few sites that are dedicated to FlightSims. I have flown all my life started at seven and now am seventy eight. "I stil love it, although most of my flying is Sim Flying"."Fly Away", gathers from many sources, I have just found "Lovell Field". It's my home city of Chattanooga. Was elated to find it, along with other files here on Fly Away Simulation.
My version of FSX/Steam performs just about the same as my stand-alone of FSX-10. The biggest difference is many times when I click on the icon to load FSX/Steam, there is an update that starts first and takes a minute or so. Sometimes, after the update, the startup does not continue. Sometimes it takes several attempts afte the update to run FSX/Steam. Other than this glitch, it's fine.
Signed up with Fly Away Simulation last month, have really been enjoying my membership. Have downloaded lots of different aircraft for Microsoft Flight Simulator X and most of them install with ease.
Great work Fly Away Simulation!
I depend on this site for addons for fsx steam and so far i have been very happy with the selection. It is my go-to site when I'm looking to mix up my aircraft selection or add scenery to my favorite airports. I'm very happy with flyawaysimulation.com
I am an inveterate 'fiddler' - that is, I love trying out new planes, new scenery, new utlities etc... in my P3D setup.
This site is a brilliant one stop shop for this sort of free stuff that I can play about with - for example, I just downloaded the free Egypt scenery and am planning a sightseeing flight over Pyramids and the other monuments along The Nile.
Have been a member of Fly Away Simulation for many years (PRO membership) and love every minute spent on the site. I signed up for PRO so that I could gain fast access to the downloads section. I'm a heavy downloader and love all of the FSX aircraft I can get there. Highly recommended.
Often we blame others, software creators and/or distributers for problems we may encounter with downloaded items.
With the assistance of broadbase forums available on this site, I've found that the majority of issues have been due to my ineptness with the computer, and I've been able to find the remedy from very knowledgeable and helpful fellow PC Pilots.
If you can't find an addon you like ( which if you can't that means you don't know what you are looking for.) or you don't which category it would fall under than just ask the support team at FAS and they will help you. They won't treat you like you're stupid for not knowing.
Flyawaysimulation review
I'm an FSX Acceleration user on an old windows 7 Pc. Love this site for the freeware add ons both planes and scenery. Some of my favourites … Concorde, Pompei, Paris scenery, dolomites scenery, LHR T5, Thunderbird 2 including mole haha and even a space 1999 Eagle. ( showing my age now) I've managed to get most things to work in FSX. Just remember to keep preview directX 10turned off in settings … display… graphics otherwise you can lose some plane textures and end up with albino looking planes!
I've purchased three aircraft and two scenery mod's, all downloaded with no issues. I surf around a lot of sim sites but always come back to Fly Away Simulation when I'm ready to buy.
I have been flying on this sight for more than 12 years and still enjoy it. One can never find this boring, so many different aircraft, airports and places to fly to. Keep up the good work.
As a retired man having free downloads means I can join in with every one else in the flight sim world
Good balance regarding cost and quality. Besides that, easy installation and reasonable frame speed results in a desirable product
One of the better reference to find useful extensions, airplanes and other resources to reinforce and makeup with a better scenarys the standard and many times ugly equipment of the FSX.
They have problems with airplane gauges A320-211-GJVB-CFM, like they don't light or function. I did the correct instalation, it still they didn't work.
Really that is a well full page with many informations to the simulated flights and is always offering opportunities to all updates, in particular I love. Alvaro Vega *******@gmail.com
I love this website! They have a great variety of addons at good prices. Their reviews are informative, and helpful. All around great flight sim website.
Fly Away Simulation has become my one-stop FSX addon website. It's very easy to use and has heaps of excellent planes and scenery.
Highly Recommended
When i see the email come up on my comp i cant wait to see what is on offer.
I dont have fiber so my down load speed is not the greatest but i download the programs overnight
Thanks again for FLY AWAY SIMULATIONS

This website has always been a great source for new add ons or even older ones with a new twist! I will always go to them for up to the minute popular items for my flight sim!
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.
