Even before I start explaining what this is about, A one line disclaimer-"Not for those who like action games only and this is a long but informative post"
The game is microsoft flight simulator. High level picture on what this game is all about.
1. For people who have interest in becoming a pilot, but cannot not afford it to become one.
2. Real life airplane models in simulation, every switch and knob of the real aircraft is there (only the payware model) the free models will have the look and feel but they will be only for rookies who just want to start the engines and start flying.
3. All the major indian airports are modeled into an outstadning scenery, the delhi airport (T3) terminal is also there plus ofcourse the entire world airports are there as well along with closest details.
4. Online multiplayer game, this will allow us to be parked on an airport with our friend whose model plane you can see right next to yourself. And moreover, if there is a player who is acting as an atc(air traffic controller) you will have to contact him as the real pilots do before you can start flying and this will be on all voice + text(whichever means you like) just like real world.
5. There are many more points but that was just a jist of the many thousands of features.
Then why do i say not for action game lovers?
Suppose you start flying on a Pune-Delhi route, as most of you would know that the actual flying time is around 1hrs 50 mins, once you are on the runway and in the air following your route(that is also real time what the actual pilots fly) you have nothing much to do as you will be flying your plane on autopilot for the time till you start descending to delhi roughly in real time it starts 160miles before touching down at delhi from a height of 35000ft. So this is boring sometimes as you need to watch the airplane instruments only and that is why people with no patience don't play this game.
Then why do i play this when there is nothing much to do?
I play the game always online when i am flying and then there are people who are atc, when a real personal on the other end who is giving you directions over voice, adrenaline starts flowing as you need to be listening to it carefully to what instructions he is giving and then read it back out for confirmation and then act upon those instructions, which keeps you busy always.
Why am I telling this to you?
The flight simulation community is like 1-2 lac members world wide which is .0000..'s% of the world population most of them are from europe and usa. You will be surprised that there are many people from india as well but you know us indians, the only kick they get from a game is a game of "dhishum dhishum" i too was that kind earlier in my college days, but changed now.
Benefits?
Loads of stuff to know and when you are sitting in an actual aircraft you will know once you board the plane that what pilots must be doing right now, you will start educating people that why does it takes so long from a gate to the runway before we are airborne and stuff like that.
You will also know that in realworld what names and codes are given to the airports and aircrafts for e.g. a british airways flight BA121 is called on the atc as "Speedbird 121" another example the indogo flight 6E121 is actually flight number IFLY 121, you will get to know why are the runways are designated with numbers and not the names and etc.

Mods, in 1st place if i am not allowed to promote this, please close/delete this thread. I am not giving any website reference here all will be provided with a PM to me.If its alright to post in public i will do it here and give you links to what am i talking about.
The main reason is we only see people from Europe,UK and USA on the map who fly and act as ATC, there are very few indian pilots(sim pilot :P) who are actually online so people connected as ATC do not come to india because there is no traffic, all i want is those who are interested can get training from me before they start and register free on a website to start playing on multiplayer session and make india proud, give them a message and welcome them to india to start participating as atc and we sure will give you traffic!.
Please feel free to ask any questions as i might not have been exhaustive enough and people might be still confused that what am i talking about.
