Hey, hey, Papa Chaim here! Don't worry, I'm not going to be flying planes anytime soon, I'll leave that to the pros. But it turns out the kids, especially my middle son (13), really love this. So I learned a bit about this flight simulator and here's everything you need to know to chat with them, like you understand something. Let's dive in!
What is this game
It's a game, but more like a simulation program, where kids can fly all sorts of planes – big passenger jets, fighter planes, even helicopters – all around the world! It looks totally real, like they're actually flying over our house in Nes Ziona or over the Eiffel Tower. There are no dangerous missions or shooting here, just learning to fly, land, and take off. It's kind of calming, if you neutralize the actual pilot's stress.
