Microsoft Flight Simulator X offers an exciting flying experience, but it comes with a hefty price tag. For a free alternative, consider trying GeoFS, an online flight simulator that features a detailed global landscape created from satellite imagery and geographic data.
GeoFS is compatible with Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS devices. It provides access to over 30 different aircraft and includes navigation charts referencing around 40,000 runways worldwide. Best of all, it can be played directly in your web browser, eliminating the need for installation.

The physics in GeoFS feel remarkably authentic, and the game offers a broad selection of aircraft—from small single-engine biplanes to the massive Airbus A380. Keep in mind, though, that mastering the controls can be a bit challenging at first, so adjusting the control settings to suit your preferences is highly recommended before taking off.
