Retro Flight Simulator 2026

Explore the World from the Sky!

Retro Flight Simulator 2026 is a lightweight single-player flight simulation that lets you take off from airports around the world and travel across a large, retro-styled 3D world.

Choose your departure and destination airports, generate a flight route, and fly a passenger jet through takeoff, climb, cruise, descent, approach, and landing.

Plan and Fly Your Route

Use the built-in route planner and autopilot to travel between global destinations, or take manual control of the aircraft at any time. Long-distance routes are designed to guide the aircraft through each stage of flight.

Discover Global Locations

Fly over terrain, cities, coastlines, mountains, and recognizable landmarks inspired by real-world locations. Visit destinations across North America, Europe, Asia, and other regions of the world.
