Flight Sims for PC's
 
I have recently upgraded my home PC to one that runs on Win 10.
None of my old Flight Simulators will run on the new format.
Can anyone recommend a good Flight Sim that has good Scenery around London, Biggin Etc and may contain Aircraft like the King Air's 90,100, 200, or Bandit.
I am retired now and use it just for Fun, but has to have a real feel.

I believe that Flight Gear is available for Win 10. There are plenty of add ons available so you should be able to find what you want

Thank you Howard.

Prepar3d from Lockheed Martin has an academic license for anyone 'studying' flight simulation. It is built on the code originally from the Microsoft series of flightsims and in its current iteration is quite good. Add on some Orbx mesh and scenery (currently on sale at 50% off) and the visual realism is pretty decent.

Thank You to the Ethanol man at the microwave link station in Aberdeen.

FSX runs fine on Win 10 as does P3D. Plenty of addons for the scenery you want.
Some very good freeware on Avsim.com and Flightsim.com.

There's also Xplane, which I bought in the Steam Christmas sale, but haven't tried because I don't believe they've pushed the VR patch to Steam yet.

I have loaded Flight Gear and am having some problems with it. but i will persevere and see how it goes.
