Listed in this category are a selection of flight simulator packages and games that are free-to-download. Most of them are compatible with Windows, Linux and macOS (or OS X). Some are demos of fuller simulation packages, such as the Microsoft Flight Simulator X Demo or X-Plane, while others offer the entire package because they are open source such as FlightGear.
First of all we will say that it is not the best RC Flight simulator that there exist, but if we have into account that it is totally free, it can be a good way to start. Flying Model simulator gives you the possibility to practice, test and improve your RC flying skills before going to the street and fly your real model, that can mean saving a. FlightGear Complete HD World Scenery Package. This is the complete Global HD scenery package.
Free-to-Download
All of the files here are free to download – no registration or subscription is required, however, some of the installation files are quite large so you may benefit from registering for a PRO account (which offers uncapped download speed). Plus, you'll have full speed access to download any of the files in the library such as any aircraft, scenery and tools you may wish to install.
This page is one of the most popular on the site because of its nature. If you like the simulators here, please do share on Facebook, Twitter and Google+.

The Windows version (Version 11085 on 08 September 2019). It's free (click the image on the left to download), but if you like it then maybe you would like to support its future development (or buy me a beer/servo/LiPo etc!): |

Chrome sometimes complains about the Windows installer appearing to be malicious, as does Windows 10 (perhaps other systems too!). This is a bogus warning (see here) that I haven't yet managed to fix/work around. I think it's just a precautionary system detecting you're accessing an installer that hasn't (yet) been downloaded many times. If you're unsure, run it through a virus checker first!
Please note that the Windows version requires Windows XP or above (not sure about Windows 8), and hardware support for OpenGL 2.0 or above. If you experience problems you should try updating your graphics drivers. If that doesn't work, you can try changing the value of 'SysGlesVersion' to 1 in app.icf (in the installation directory).

Supporting
If you find PicaSim (or its desktop predecessor SSS) useful or enjoyable, the paid versions on Android and iOS will support its future development, in particular by covering the costs of licencing various pieces of software (Terragen for the panoramic sceneries, and Marmalade for the cross-platform libraries).

So please consider purchasing the Android donation version, the iOS version, or making a small PayPal contribution using the links above. Playing the Amazon Underground version for a very long time will also work!
