What can I do in Microsoft Flight Simulator?
There is no limit to the fun you can have in Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS) if you combine these factors:
- Microsoft Flight Simulator: The best, most complete simulation of the entire world, and the world of aviation.
- Explore countries
Cities
Airports
Maps
The entire planet is there, waiting for you in MSFS. Where should you fly? I suggest setting out with the mindset of an EXPLORER. Develop your MENTAL MAP of an area and feel more freedom to navigate. Use the missions of MiGMan’s World Tour to quickly build your mental map of an area and then confidently explore, knowing you can always find your way home by:
- Visual Navigation
- MODULAR MISSION DESIGN as found in the MiGMan’s World Tour facilitates familiarity with the terrain and features of each flight area. By the 3rd flight I am usually not even looking at the NAVLOG. The area is becoming mapped in my mind.
- ACTIVITIES: Give each flight a particular task or activity. A very simple goal for your flight might be to take a photo of a particular Point of Interest. Using this goal-oriented approach I can easily spend 40 hours reflying just one flight plan from MiGMan’s World Tour. Check out these Case studies.
- AIRMANSHIP. Use the simulator to develop your hierarchy of aviation skills, an intensely rewarding project! Good airmanship involves using good judgement and appropriate skill sets to operate your aircraft safely and efficiently.
- EXPLORE more activities in Civil Fight Simulation
- IMAGINATION: The key to creating your own Virtual Reality. The greatest simulation technology is free, and located between your ears.
❝Combine these aproaches and create infinite fun in the world that MSFS provides for us!
❞ It never gets boring if you are using your attention actively rather than passively.
This is in fact the single most important component of all creative activity, the ability to direct your attention, which is an ability you can develop with practice.
❝Amongst all genres of games, flight simulation has the greatest potential for development of creativity.
