Imagine what it would be like to have every single online flight simulator lined up in front of you right now? If they were there, do you think you would know which one do you pick? Most likely not, unless you knew what you were looking for. Flight simulator reviews are a good place to start and that's exactly where I did begin my search. While taking the time to sift through review after review, I came across one aircraft flight sim that didn't have a review (or a good one at least), but that still looked up my street with regards to value for money and real simulator flying effects.
When I set out to buy flight simulator software, I was interested in a few specific aspects but as I went through site after site, I learned what I should be looking for. This article is the result of my online search efforts!
Note, that I was looking for an all inclusive game where I didn't have to buy separate games in addition to the initial software download.
I want to pay for what I get.
This is what I was looking for in an online flight simulator game.
1. Is the Game compatible with your OS?
2. Is the game updated regularly?
3. Does the game come with clear instruction manuals so that you can get actual flight simulator lessons?
4. Is the sim software realistic? Points to check for - accurate runway markings, realistic terrain, airports,airplanes and helicopters?
5. Can you adjust specific features of the flight so as to create many variables thereby challenging the pilot in varying weather and wind conditions?
6. Can I fly both aircrafts and helicopters?
7. How many aircrafts are available to fly? - Are there more than only combat flight simulator airplanes?
8. Can I set time zones?
9. Is there good support for the software?
10. Does the software have add ons for flight simulator yokes and other external devices?
Once I had all 10 points checked on my list and was satisfied that the flight sim software was indeed going to be worth the cost, I settled on a final product.
Looking back, I am glad that I took the time to search for such a long time for this software
The game I bought took a while to get used to, but now that I have got the hang of it and had great support from the "flight team" at the download center, I am flying a lot more professionally.
