Does Microsoft Flight Simulator have a Tutorial?

does microsoft flight sim have a tutorial? I downloaded the demo once a long time ago and i don't think it has a tutorial and i want to play this game again. But only if it has a tutorial.

It has a flight school where you learn the basics of flight if that is what you are wondering. You will need at least a joystick, but many people buy a yoke, throttle quadrant and rudder pedals at least. If you are looking for a game that can be repeatedly played, then get it. FSX (get the deluxe version as it included Acceleration) even has missions that can be played. Once you get the feel for flying, there are a great many freeware and payware aircraft to fly with the payware planes having systems modeled which adds even more depth to the game.

In that flight school, does it teach you while you are flying? and does the demo have that flight school?

I am not so sure with the demo, but with the full version The flight instruction was pretty good especially landing instruction in both plane, prop, jet, and helo.

I can't tell you if the demo has a flight school or not. It may just include the Cessna 172 and maybe the Boeing 737 for you to try out at Sea-Tac airport.

Here is an example of a payware aircraft at a payware airport in FS 2004

This is a freeware aircraft in a freeware airport in FS 2004.

The flight school does allow you to fly as you learn to fly different aircraft along with procedures like using the ILS to land in low visiblity conditions.

You can try the demo but flying is pointless with the keyboard and will just frustrate you. Get a nice joystick in your price range, I suggest the Saitek X52 to start and get the Deluxe copy from Amazon (hard to find in stores these days) and start flying the tutorials and missions. Once you become familiar with flying different aircraft you might want to join Vatsim. Vatsim is an online flying community that is starting a pilot rating program, a real person will teach you how to fly different planes and speak to real air traffic controllers while you fly with other people. FSX can be a beast though, defrag your system after installation for the best performance.Levrar

is gamepad better for flying than a keyboard and mouse? I would buy computer accessories for flight simulators if i'm a a super big hardcore addicted fan. Also they r pretty expensive aren't they just for a certain type of games which i barely play.

For test flights when I add new scenery, I fly the Cessna 172 around with this joystick. I have even used it to fly PMDG's 737NG, but when it comes to that, a yoke and throttle quadrant work better.

Ok i downlaoded the demo. What kind of demo has 0 TUTORIAL and THE ONLY MISSION is under Challenge: Flour Power? This game is starting to not look good to me. Considering the demo is bad IMO, not going to buy this game and consdering trying Fighter Ace flight simulator.
