Start with the Cessna 172, then gradually work up to the jets.

I still struggle with flying the C172.

I agree with @Godzilla_Gamer. Start with the C172. If you want to start with commercial planes straight away, I suggest you start off with the a320 family :)

I had a hard time using the C172. The jets were easier though.

Hello there and welcome aboard! You can start first with the cessna 172, I begun with that aircraft first before the other models. If you have any question you can see the tutorials in the game (just for basic concepts and plane controls) and you can also see the tutorials that we have here.

Hi Ella, welcome. Any relations to @Riley_Dunshea?

Back to the topic, it’s always a good idea to start with the propellers and gradually get to the bigger planes, something I wish I did. Now I can land the bigger planes smoothly but not the Cessna.

I agree with the others. I have a little trouble flying the Cessna 172, the jets are easier to handle in the sense that they aren’t so light so they are easier to land without bouncing and less accustom to turbulence.

Honestly, I would start with the Boeing 737. A nice, fair sized jet that is easy to fly.

Oli H - I recommend learning in this order:

  1. C172

  2. Dash 8 or C208

  3. A320 Family or 737 family

  4. 757 or 767

  5. A330-300 or 777-200

  6. A340-600 or 777-300

  7. A380 or 747 family

We just have her a shot in the C172. She took off and I landed. I don’t think we will be using it again. I still struggle to fly it.

I strongly recommend the A380 because it will help you counteract the winds. The small aircraft in winds is indeed difficult to control.

For me, I find the larger jets easier to fly and land, and the smaller ones a bit more challenging :)
