Like previous years, this year’s survey has an emphasis on the major flight simulators such as Microsoft Flight Simulator, Lockheed Martin Prepar3D and Laminar Research X-Plane, but now also includes questions about simulators on mobile devices, combat simulators, and helicopter simulation.

Help Spread the Survey

We also appreciate if you post the link to the survey in social media encouraging other fellow flightsim pilots to take the survey. Last year 17,000 respondents contributed to the survey. With an unusual year behind us, we think the turnout for the 2020 survey will be even higher.

New Sims, Covid-19, VR, and more

This year we have added several new questions to reflect current events of the past year. (Don’t worry, we have also removed some questions.) For instance, given the introduction of Prepar3D v5, X-Plane 11.50, and Microsoft Flight Simulator, we are asking if you have switched simulation platforms, and whether this transition resulted in any changes in your simulator hardware setup. We are also asking if your simulation habits have changed during the past year, with particular in-depth questions on virtual reality.
