It’s time for another screenshot challenge! The idea is to collectively explore different parts of the world together - areas that may be very familiar to you or perhaps a new place you have never flown before. Feel free to find others to fly with to capture the challenge, or go solo!
Your First Flight: whether you’re a PC player who has been here since launch day one year ago this week or an Xbox player who recently joined the Microsoft Flight Simulator community, we all started somewhere. When you opened the World Map and loaded up your first real (non-training) flight, where did you go? Did you explore a big city like New York, London, or Tokyo? Was it a scenic wonder like the Grand Canyon, Mount Everest, or the Matterhorn? Or perhaps you flew to your home town? Whether the destination was majestic or modest, let’s see some screenshots showcasing your first flight!
If you have screenshot challenge ideas for the future, please DM me!

Still remember how blown away i was. Headed straight for New Zealand, the first flight was here above Mount Allen & the Taieri River on the South Island.
Seriously? I just flied home and lost my navigation. (lol)
Well, this screenshot was my first IFR navigated flight on MSFS over the Chinese land, from Guiyang(ZUGY) to Guangzhou(Canton)(ZGGG).
Awesome, I fly an Icon 5 remote control plane, Fun as hell to fly. It has a removeable cockpit, so i drilled a hole in the back of it and installed my gopro so I can take 1st person video while flying. My I ask where you got this plane for the game? I would love to fly it
Although my first first FS flight was at Merrill C. Meigs field in Chicago back in FS4. . .my favorite FS first flight were these:
I love 787’s. I had to fly one out of my old stomping grounds at KDEN. . .
I don’t have my first flight captured, but these are my earliest shots. I miss how nice the clouds used to look, and it was so beautiful and atmospheric. That’s been lost in the current release.
California wine country, Holland Park, Wadi Rum, and three shots from the Arkansas river valley.
My first flight in MSFS was at EGNF, Netherthorpe in the UK. This small airfield is renowned for having the UK’s shortest licensed runway, and is where I learned to fly. It was disappointingly represented in FSX as just a couple of green lines for runways. So when I first fired up MSFS, it was the first place I visited. I just sat in awe at how accurate it was. Even the concrete numbers and arrows were visible. The perspective from the window as you’re coming into land is almost identical to the real thing.
