Looking For a Good Flight Plane Simulator? Important Things to Consider

By Dana Goldberg

When selecting a good aircraft simulator to buy, there are some things that you should be conscious of before making a buying decision. You are probably aware that there are lots of aircraft simulators that you can get from the Net and they most of them have there very own special features. So lets talk about the three most crucial things that you shoul dkeep in mind when buying a flight simulator.

You don't have to be a real pilot to enjoy these airplane simulation games. Though these flight simulation softwares differ a lot from each other, you can still find some way to effectively use them for your own enjoyment and even for the full learning process when it comes to properly maneuvering an airplane.

I like to have many different planes to fly. If the software does not come with a wide variety of aircrafts such as military jets, a Boeing 747, helicopters, cessnas, passenger jets and light aircrafts I will keep looking for a program that fits my needs.

My personal preference is a flight sim that does not require a joystick all of the time. I prefer using my mouse and keyboard to control the plane. However, you might prefer using a joystick all of the time. But this is of course up to you.

You might believe that this is weird, but I likke the many different keyboard functions and it makes the gaming experience much more realistic.

There are also many addons and accessories that make this hobby a never ending learning curve. There is such a huge demand for these type of games that many experienced hobbyists are designing their own flight simulator games for their PC.

Some individuals have even become real life pilots and make that their career, or design their own games and make that their career. That is how addicting this hobby is.

Flight simulator software is something that everybody can afford, and enjoy the sensations of flying the real thing. However, not all softwares offer the same quality and graphics, without which you really won't enjoy yourself that much.
