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!

Fly Away Simulation is a great store to buy your aircraft for flight simulators. I have had zero problems with them. They seem very responsive if you need support. They offer great products too. The only thing I would suggest is that they have a one click solution when they email you about updates. They are on top of things when it comes time to update their software, usually after Asobos updates break things.
Tip for consumers:
they have a flight school section that has a lot of good information and tutorials to help you learn how to fly.

The contents on Flyawaysim.com are old and outdated, most of them don't attract my interest, some of them are incomplete and they created issues in my flight simulator, plus membership fees are a little high and if you're not a paying member of the site, downloads will be very slow.
Better site for budgetted payware aircraft add-ons.
The best for hot freeware from their subscribed mailing site
Great site look forward to the emails! I look for sites that understand their target audience, in this case flight sim. I have purchased many items and find them as advertised. I know they will keep up the good work.

Es una gran experiencia impresionante volar en un Foker Dr I de la 1 guerra mundial. Me gusta la historia y sobre todo, aunque de modo virtual, vivir lo que esta en los libros. Gracias, muchas gracias.
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.
Good balance regarding cost and quality. Besides that, easy installation and reasonable frame speed results in a desirable product
I always look forward to my weekly update from Fly Away. 9 times out of 10, there's some gem of a sharerare/freeware add-on that I might have missed - or one that I'd already had but forgot to reinstall after some sim upgrade or other. It's an invaluable service - and very easy to use. 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
I have been using and loving flight simulators since Bruce Artwick introduced his on the first Apples. They inspired me to get my private license in 1980. My flight simulator sight of choice has always been Fly Away Simulation since its inception... The greatest variety of aircraft and the most free aircraft, scenary and objects on the Net. Well done Fly Away.. I am more than happy to tell the entire world of your amazing site.

It is a great resource being a simulation fan since 1985 and pilot since 2005, many thanks to put together all this talented people who develop wonderful virtual planes/jets and realistic scenaries, so we can enjoy them!
Top of the line high quality flight simulation products and knowledge based website that actually caters to what you want and or need in order to experience flight. If you have questions you will find the answer on this site, it's knowledge base increases daily as does the flight simulation world.
Besides of the "PAY FOR FULL DOWNLOAD SPEEDS" thingy, its an good site.
But it is irritating if you dont have enough money to buy premium. So conclusion, BULLCRAP. STAY AWAY
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.
Always a good choice for add ons. Good price point. I have a large library and many are from fly away for good reliable content.
I have found this website to have a treasure of free stuff that no other websites have in such large number. I have found airplanes, utilities, textures, scenery and a host of other items that have made my flight simulator more enjoyable. I recommend this website to everyone who enjoys flight simulation and is need of new planes and any other items. They also have payware just in case you might want some of the deluxe items that are available. I love it!
Some great downloads without having to be a member. Nonmembers have a slower download speed. But is overall a great add-on site.
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.
I have been using fly away simulation for quite a while and have found downloads to be of a superior quality.The other sites cannot come close to quality.
Everything at hand.
Good details of contents.
Good to navigate among items offered.
Good graphics on the site.
Be careful... make sure you cancel your membership after you purchase anything on this site. I asked to be cancelled last year and was told by Fly Away that I was cancelled, but I was not told to remove them from my PayPal account, so a year later, I got another bill for $55, since the membership auto-renewed. While I know this site has some great stuff, this was a shady way to make a buck, and I never even used their products. Also, the reason I signed up was to get the FSCUIP plugin needed to run EZDOK - BUT it didn't work. When I talked with Flight1.com, ( the owner of the FSCUIP plug-in) he said that Fly Away has no authority to sell the FSCUIP and that I had to buy it through him on Flight1. I feel cheated, for sure. Cancel your subscription on PayPal now if you don't want to get hit with a membership renewal of $55.
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.
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

Dear Cally,
Firstly, I'm sorry to hear of the issues you seemed to have with our service. All of our memberships do indeed automatically renew and this is made very clear when signing up. Of course, you may cancel the renewal at any time. As to why yours renewed after being canceled is something I will look into and ensure this is refunded.
As for FSUIPC - we do not sell this anywhere on the site. I think you may be referring to the free unlicensed version we have in our freeware library. You would still need to purchase a license to use this software to its maximum functionality.
