Are Today's Flight Simulator Games More Realistic?

The simple answer to this question is yes. You only have to read some of the online reviews or visit forums to know that today, more than ever before, users of flight simulators are saying that the modern flight simulators are brilliant. So much so, that trainee pilots use these”games’ to advance their training skills.There are all kinds of games on the market today, so rather than rush out and buy the first game that you come across, you need to undertake some basic research. How in depth do you want to go and how serious are your expectations? Are you a beginner or are you a flying enthusiast? As well as that, you also need to be very mindful of your computers capacity as it is frustrating trying to play a flight simulator game on a PC or Mac that is not capable of running the software.

These days you can get games that can have you flying a hellicopter one minute and then taking the controls in a Boeing 777 Flight Simulator the next. If you need any more convincing as to whether these games are realistic or not, then you need to take the plunge and buy a “game” to see for yourself. The good news is that games like ProFlight Simulator allow you to purchase the product on a 60 day trial basis. That means that if you are unsure whether this game meets your needs or not, you can give it a thorough test drive before the 60 days are up and return it if it did not come up to your expectations.

In terms of these games being more realistic than in days gone by, that is an absolute yes. These days, you can nominate a city around the world and land your plane in either the night or day. The terrain is so realistic it is amazing. In fact the terrain in some of the better games (including ProFlight Simulator) is based on US Defence Mapping Agency.

If you are wanting loads of realistic fun and fancy yourself at the controls of any number of aircraft, traveling around the world, then it’s time you invested in a game that will provide you with loads of realistic fun.
