To fly with MetaFlight, you first need a flight simulator installed on your computer. MetaFlight currently supports:
- Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020
- Prepar3D
- X-Plane 11 / 12
You will also need FSUIPC (the free version is sufficient).
For X-Plane 11/12 users, the classic XPUIPC 2.0.3.5 is required instead. The newer XPUIPC+ plugin does not work with MFLink (see this article).
Once everything is set up, simply install MFLink and you are ready to fly.If you only want to play as an Airline Manager or Airport Manager, a web browser and an internet connection are enough.
