Soar through beautiful skies with parallax scenery, clouds, and a day-night cycle. Choose your mode below.
Flight Simulator is a free browser-based airplane game where you pilot a small propeller plane through beautiful open skies. Enjoy relaxing free flight through procedurally generated scenery or take on challenging missions with landing sequences. The game features parallax scrolling terrain, a day-night cycle, realistic cloud layers, and simple but satisfying flight physics.
Control your airplane with pitch (up/down) and throttle. Speed generates lift — fly too slow and you will stall. In Free Flight mode, explore endlessly as the scenery scrolls by. In Mission mode, fly through checkpoint rings and land on runways to earn star ratings. Landing requires reducing speed and descending at a gentle angle. The game tracks your altitude, speed, heading, and distance flown.
Airplanes fly by generating lift with their wings. As the plane moves forward, air flows over the curved upper surface faster than the lower surface, creating a pressure difference that pushes the wing upward. The four forces of flight are lift, weight, thrust, and drag. When lift exceeds weight, the plane climbs.
The basic controls are pitch (nose up/down), throttle (engine power), and in real aircraft, roll and yaw. In this simulator, use arrow keys or on-screen buttons for pitch, and W/S or the throttle slider for power. Increasing throttle gives you more speed and lift.
Landing involves reducing throttle for a gradual descent, maintaining proper glide slope, keeping airspeed just above stall speed, aligning with the runway, and flaring just before touchdown. A good landing is smooth with minimal vertical speed at impact.
