Airport Simulator 2015 [pack]
Austin Vermont
Real schedules, accurate terminal layout and more than 130 real life aircrafts with animations are included to imitate the experience of being a real air traffic controller. Try out a small one runway airport, or a multi runway airport with the same aircraft types, airports and call signs as it is in real life.
Following the higher standards of the new Simulator, the new textures are detailed more than ever. This provides next level visuals and experience for this simulator. It makes you feel like a real-life air traffic controller looking down on the familiar liveries that we all know and love.
No two airports are the same. Some are straightforward with a simple approach, while others only allow access to a handful of skilled pilots. While we may not be able to experience these airports in person, or the destinations nearby, a RealSimGear Flight Simulator makes them all accessible. Below, we list a few world-renowned airports, so enjoy a scenic flight or choose to challenge yourself at some of the world's most dangerous airports.
Settled on a 500-foot-tall Mesa at 4,830 feet above sea level, KSEZ remains one of the most challenging airports to land and take off from in the State of Arizona. While it is scenic, this airport has had several notable crashes due to the unique wind patterns caused by the surrounding terrain. Wind frequently rolls off the Mesa causing strong downdrafts, which means pilots facing these conditions need to take the appropriate precautions. A scenario we recommend trying in your flight simulator is experiencing a landing on Runway 21 with strong southwest wind conditions that will test your skills as a pilot and allow you to gain the confidence needed when making this approach in real life.
Most of us have all seen the images of a massive Boeing 747 aircraft flying 150 ft above a crowded beach - they almost look photoshopped! However, that's not the case, and that really is how close planes need to get for a successful landing at the Princess Julian International Airport. Located in the Netherlands Antilles and the northeast part of the Caribbean, you're surrounded by blue tropical waters with mountains in the distance. This airport has a daring landing but makes for an exciting one in real life and a flight simulator. So practice your approach, and make sure you don't come in too low.
Landing at the Paro International Airport isn't only rare, it's only reserved for less than two dozen pilots who are certified to make this approach. In spite of that, you can try this unique and dangerous airport from the comfort of your home with a flight simulator. The runway sits in a winding valley between 18,000 ft peaks, not to mention its only visible moments before landing. Understandably, this airport makes a list one of the most dangerous globally, and it's worth flying into. Experience a manual-only flight, stray away from homes and electrical poles, and practice the quick descent until it's perfect - that will make every other airport landing seem like a breeze!
One of the most dangerous airports in the world sits at an altitude of 9,334 ft, has a runway that's 1,729 feet long and slopes uphill with a gradient of 12% to assist pilots in slowing down the plane. To make matters more challenging, once you start your approach, you must land, as the height of the surrounding mountains does not permit go-around procedures. The Himalayas have very unpredictable weather patterns so re-create each one of those scenarios - take your simulator through sudden rainstorms, fog, and snow, which can cause Pilots to lose sight of the runway several times a year.
Have you ever wanted to experience landing on one of the scariest runways in the world? If so, search for LaGuardia Airport, one of three airports that connects millions of people to New York City every year. This airport is notorious for shutting down with a glimpse of bad weather, has a low and short approach, and has a body of water at the edge of the runway. Modify the weather and try landing in a foggy rainstorm, one of the many weather conditions that bring this airport to a halt several times a year. Then, when you're in the air, circle the island of Manhattan, visit the Statue of Liberty, and fly through the exciting glow of Times Square closer than you ever could in real life with your simulator.
Nestled high in the Austrian Alps, the Innsbruck Airport provides pilots with a challenging approach made difficult by winds traveling through the mountainous terrain. However, as much as it is tough, it allows pilots to test their flying skills (without autopilot), gain confidence and enjoy the beauty of the snow-covered horizon at the same time. So, take on the "Captains Only" landing in your flight simulator, an experience that takes pilots years of training to achieve.

When you fly SimAir there's one big difference - you're the captain! This hugely realistic flight simulator at Gloucestershire Airport is ready and waiting to welcome you onto the flight deck, for you to take charge of a Boeing 737-800 simulator.
This fixed-base simulator is an exact copy of a B737-800. Over 5000 of this series of Boeing jet airliner have been produced so far and it's used by short and medium-haul airlines all over the world. In fact, the chances are you've flown on one of these at some point. It's the most popular plane in RyanAir's fleet, for example.
And although the simulator is physically based at Gloucestershire Airport, you can choose where you'd like to depart from. A chat with your sim instructors who know the flight system inside out can help advise you on your choice. Some people like to fly into airports they've already been to (your favourite holiday destination is always popular), others want to test their mettle at an airport with a tricky approach. You can even control the weather to add in an extra factor to your flight!
The sim boasts 180 degree graphics that are utterly convincing, You'll feel like you are really at the airport, waiting at the end of the runway to take off in your very own Boeing 737-800. It makes all the right noises too. It's a totally immersive experience and one that you can share, as you can invite someone to join you in the cockpit in the 'jump seat'.
We are offering a full range of sim sessions to suit all tastes and budgets. The most popular duration is 60 minutes, which allows you enough time to try take offs and landings from several airports. If you fancy really getting a feel of what the job of Boeing driver is like day to day, on the two hour sim session there's enough time to fly a full sector. That's to say you fly a complete route, such as London Gatwick to Schiphol in Amsterdam, in real time.
Whichever flight duration you choose for your flight simulator session at Gloucestershire Airport, it's going to be a great challenge. Nothing beats the feeling of being captain of your own Boeing 737, as you guide the aircraft through the airways. And if it was real, there could be up to 189 passengers sitting behind you!
