![]() This is my first post after lingering on the forum for sometime and its certainly not the post I anticipated. If you’re unsure I’d say try the FSFlyingSchool demo first to get a better understanding how it works. In that sense they complement each other very well, and I’m at a stage now where I’m considering getting FSFlyingSchool myself after having gone through most of the FS Academy lessons. If you want to start at the very beginning and want to have a step by step introduction how to properly fly VFR/IFR/Jetliners I’d go for FS Academy. If you already know all the basics of flying and want to perfect your actions I’d go for FSFlyingAcademy. You get corrected if you forget to do something (for example, if you forget to check your flight controls before takeoff) and you’ll get voiced (and I assume graded) feedback on areas that you should improve upon. It’s essentially like an instructor sitting next to you and checking your actions. But inside MSFS there are no step by step lessons. There might be some ground school material in the documentation, I haven’t checked to be honest. There’s no real grading on how well you did and you won’t get any kind of corrections if you mess up (apart from the lesson not advancing).įSFlyingSchool on the other hand already assumes that you essentially know how to fly and what you need to do. I think those are freely available on the FS Academy webpage if you want to take a look. There’s also additional information for each lesson provided as PDF. You basically have to perform the instructions and the lesson advances once you do. ![]() Generally I’d say they offer very different things, so it depends a bit on what you’re looking for exactly.ĭisclaimer: I currently own pretty much all FS Academy products (VFR, IFR, Jetliner) and have only trialed FSFlyingSchool, so I have a lot more knowledge about the former than the latter.įS Academy are essentially training lessons where you get a voiced introduction and step by step guidance on what to do next and in which order. A portion of the sales goes towards supporting the project and a portion is donated to charity.I was looking into this decision myself a couple of months back.
