Learn To Fly with Pro Flight Simulator
Along with Microsoft's Flight Simulator, "Pro Flight Simulator" is one of the most comprehensive and popular flight sims currently available for home use.
This flight simulator game immerses users in a high level of realism and offers over 120 different aircraft to master. It is because of this that the software has found such a following among wannabe and professional pilots alike. The flight sim is seen as an ideal supplement to pilots that are learning to fly new aircraft or for newbie gamers just wanting a thrill.
Realism
Pro Flight Simulator has over 20,000 real-world airports to land at with worldwide scenery available to download so you can literally fly where you want with real time weather and environmental effects. Below shows some of the level of detail that this simulator goes to in recreating a realistic experience:
- Scenery based on real mapping from US defense;
- Night lighting;
- Major roads/highways included;
- Changeable weather conditions;
- Scenery includes railways, cities, towns, lakes and rivers;
- Synchronize time with real-world time.
The airports in the software are based on real-world airports. They all include the correct runway markings, placements, taxiways and even the correct elevations to their real-world counterparts. Aircraft carriers are also included for landing military aircraft.
The reason professional pilots use the software is down to the detailed cockpits of each of the aircraft. They are fully 3D and interactive with all of the correct instruments that lag like the real things. To add to this realism there are many options for controls. This can be simple keyboard and mouse operation or you can control the aircraft with joystick, yokes and pedals for a more authentic flight.
