# Which version of Flight Simulator do I need?

MetaFlight supports several flight simulators, so you can use the one you prefer:

- Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 (MSFS 2020)
- Prepar3D
- X-Plane 11 / 12

You can also use MetaFlight **without any flight simulator** if you play as an **Airline Manager** or **Airport Manager**, as these roles only require an internet connection and a web browser.
