Can't make it to Wales? Fly it yourself. MSFS recreates the Mach Loop with remarkable accuracy — and in VR it's genuinely breathtaking.
Microsoft Flight Simulator allows you to experience the Mach Loop from a completely different perspective. Instead of standing on the hills, you can fly through the valleys yourself, following the same routes used by fast jets and training aircraft.
The terrain is generated using real-world elevation data and satellite imagery, meaning the shape of the Welsh valleys is accurately represented. This makes the Mach Loop one of the most popular low-level flying challenges in the simulator.
Microsoft Flight Simulator is a highly realistic civilian flight simulator developed by Asobo Studio and published by Xbox Game Studios. It uses global mapping data and cloud-based terrain streaming to recreate the entire planet with high fidelity.
To fly the Mach Loop, choose a fast jet or light aircraft, set your departure point near North Wales, and follow the valley system through locations such as Bwlch Pass and Snowdonia. Many users practice in slower aircraft first before attempting jet profiles.
