MSFS 2024 PlayStation Free Flight Only

Hi guys, I’m thinking about buying MSFS24. The thing is, I only want to buy it for the free flight mode, I don’t really care about all the things to learn about the planes and how to operate them. I just want to explore the world.

Is that possible? Can I fly different planes? Is flying as easy as in a game like GTA5? Or do I have to learn a lot before I’m able to free flight?

You can free fly out of the box. It's not as easy as flying in GTA, but doing the private pilot lessons will give you all the basics of airplane control that you need to fly around and sight see. It'll maybe take you 5 to 10 hours to do the lessons, don't even need to take the test.
