Microsoft Flight Simulator has been around in one form or another since 1977, when Bruce Atwick founded subLOGIC Corporation to market the program for computers with the Intel 8080 chip. In 1979, the company released a version for the Apple II, and in 1980 a version appeared for the Radio Shack TRS-80 computer. The first revision with Microsoft in the name appeared in 1982. While the graphics were very limited in these early versions, the program has become very complicated, accurately mirroring the complexities of flying an actual airplane.

In this free flying lesson video, you will learn to fly a variety of planes popular with recreational pilots, including the Cessna 172, Cessna Caravan 208, Mooney Bravo, and Piper Cub, as well as twin engine planes, jets and sailplanes. Our expert gives you a complete overview of the desktop flying experience, with advice on turning, climbing, wing angles and landing clearance. He also talks extensively about how to use your flaps and landing gear. Wondering how to pull out of a nose dive? What if you experience engine problems on the way to check your e-mail, umm I mean, to land at your airport of choice? Want to know how to pause your flying lesson without panicking your flight instructor? Let Expert Village show you the way. If you can master the simulator with in-flight gremlin Dixon Gillette popping up on your canopy, between your wings and inside your dials, you will be ready for anything you might encounter in the virtual wild blue yonder!
